Dinner was yummy tonight and it totally caught me offguard. It was like what we used to have many years ago.

We had:

- A rainbow salad (brocoli, cauliflower, carrots, red cabbage, tomatos, and cucumbers with lime juice and olive oil as dressing)
- Stuffed shells (manicotti? and some other cheeses)
- Baked bread
- Vanilla icecream with fresh strawberries for dessert

I'm happy to see when dinner is completely vegetarian so I can get a FULL meal.

Nothing fancy. I sent my husband to do the grocery shopping yesterday and he got 3 varieties of steak (cubed, skillet, etc.) in addition to the two NY strips we already had in the freezer. Anyone want to buy some red meat off me?

Imagine that - we had steak for dinner tonight!!! (with mashed potatoes and spinach)

You guys are making me hungry!!!

Unfortuntely, I'm still at work (going on 12 1/2 hours!! ) waiting for this family to leave so I can go home and eat dinner before I pass out from exhaustion!!! I'll probably just go to bed.

Sorry, had to vent. These people were SUPPOSED to leave at 7:00 pm! (it's now 8:45 pm here) UGH!!!

Not feeling really hungry tonight, so just fixed a cheeseburger.
Reading others responses gives me great ideas for tomorrow.

I should've gone to Kay's for dinner. The nachos weren't very good.

Been eating out lately, and eating leftovers, haven't cooked for a while. But tonight I made salmon with basil butter, homefried potatoes, and edamame (japanese-style steammed soybeans). It was yummy!

Hey! We sick girls will gladly accept "Meals on Wheels from PT"!

I really haven't cooked since my mom went back to the hospital in March. just easy, odds and ends. Then with surgery, the guys were on their own. Recently, John and I have been invited out (his son is a gourmet cook) or eating out though I hate to spend the money, I hate spending the time cooking even more. What a nice excuse not to be able to stand on my feet for long. Plus, with all the stuff that's happened within 2 months, I haven't been hungry. Lost 20 pounds in 6 months.

I need to make something that lasts a few days so it can just be heated. Besides tomato sauces for pasta, meatloafs...anybody have any other suggestions? I can't cook anything different every night cause my brother gets home at 11p, so it has to be easy enough for him to warm up, Any website or ideas??? I can put John to work (not a bad cook himself-he makes a mean breakfast)

Sorry to ramble when all that was asked was a simple question!

we had

cotolette alla milanese
puré
& sautéed veggies in a honey glaze.

How about Chicken Spaghetti? The recipe I have makes a humongous amount and I have 3/4's of it left over so I put it in small containers for Brad to take to lunch..usually atleast 4 generous servings left over...and its easy to make.

I also make Spicy Kielbasa Soup on a regular basis..you can make it in the crock pot and it will make 4 or 5 generous servings to freeze. I always keep some in the freezer to pull out for Brad's lunch when we don't have enough leftovers the night before.

I added the link in a previous post to Pamela's Kitchen but am posting these 2 recipes for you:

SPICY KIELBASA SOUP

kielbasa, sliced and each slice cut into fourths (or just use any polish style sausage)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green or red bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) chicken broth
1 can (15-ounces) black beans or kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) fire roasted crushed tomatoes*
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 green onions, white and some green, chopped

Mix all ingredients together in your crockpot and cook on low for 10 hours


I will post the other one in the following post
