What should I cook this week for dinners.

[beeniesmom]

I am in a rut.
I love to cook but it seems as if I make the same thing over and over.
I need some ideas people!
Hubby is a very picky eater and that doesn't make things easy.
I like everything.

Forgot to add: he doesn't like mexican, hates spinach ... actually most greens except broccoli.

I feel for you, I run out of ideas too. Last night I made white bean chicken chili, it was good for a cold evening.

Today I am thinking about putting some steaks in the crock pot and making fajitas tonight...not sure but it sounds kind of good.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Must be Tuesday - we've got sausages!! Hard to come up with new ideas isn't it? Luckily my hubby does most of the cooking so I'm afraid I can't help

[beeniesmom]

I make pasta too much... it's easy and he likes it.

I want to make some chicken.... baked.

I never fry anything. It's either baked or skillet cooked.

My mom once made this chicken recipe with honey and tomato. I should call her for the recipe. I rememeber the chicken had this awesome glaze on it.

[beeniesmom]

I'm reading the recipe thread here and so far everything has some ingredients that he'd never touch. Shessshhhhh

How about a Pasta Bake? Chili with Cheese over Rice (this is one of my favorite Crockpot recipes)? Since he likes brocolli, Cheesy Brocolli rice Casserole? Homemade pizza or burgers?

[caseysmom]

You know if you just salt and pepper a whole chicken and bake it that is really good and the whole house will smell good.

OH yes, Cheesy Rice casarole.
How do you make that.
It's sounds like something he'd eat.

ok. I'll try that. It's sounds simple and good. He'll eat it. With a salad on the side. How long for a whole chicken to cook? I sometimes just do chicken parts that way but not a whole one.

How about some fish?

[beeniesmom]

Yes, he'll eat fish.... the only one he won't touch is salmon.

Start process to cook 2 cups (when dry) rice. (I have a rice cooker so I use that). Preheat oven to 350. Saute in 1/2 cup water until slightly soft, 1 small onion diced and roughly 1/2 lb brocolli cut into bite sized pieces (2 good sized stalks). Combine cooked rice, onion/brocolli mixture WITH WATER, 1 regular can cream of mushroom soup, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well and pour/scrape into casserole dish. Cover top with 1 cup shred ched and pepper if you like pepper and bake for 20 minutes or until cheese on top is brown and bubbly (since everything else is already cooked).

I hope this makes sense.

OH YUM!
I have everything in the house too!
I will make that tonight or tomorrow.
Yes, it makes sense.
Thank you!

Anyone ever make ground beef and cabbage? Shred the cabbage while you scramble the ground beef in a skillet with a onion. Add the cabbage and stir fry. I can't cook enough of this, my crew LOVES it.

Another hit last trip was stuffed bell peppers. Even the little that was left over got ate at midnight watch change.

[beeniesmom]

I haven't made stuffed peppers in a while too. Thanks for the idea.
I can't make anything with cabbage. He won't eat it. It does sound yummy thought (to me)
