What should I cook this week for dinners.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Luckily my hubby does most of the cooking so I'm afraid I can't help

LUCKY YOU !!! Now you made me jalous: my hubby doesn't even know how to turn on the cooking plates...

Slick, which dish are you asking about? Not that it matters, just add the spices that YOU like... everyone has different tastes and you could just spice it up with the spices YOU like.

with either dish you could use Italian sausage or breakfast sausage instead of ground beef or with the ground beef. Could add tomato sauce or Picant's sauce.. There isre just so many ways to change them to ones own taste.

LB: I was actually referring to the cabbage and hamburger recipe. Just those two alone sound rather bland to me so I would want to spice it up. To me, food ain't food unless it's so "hot" it makes your nose run. Sadly, and as I've gotten older, my insides have started to protest. I like the idea of adding sausage (hot italian, of course) and the Picant sauce. Hmm, I do have all the ingredients so maybe I'll make that in the next night or two. Thanks.

[QUOTE=Laura's Babies]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.




LAURA! You have GOT to substitute ham for the ground beef...AND, then, boil egg noodles in a separate pot, and drain well, THEN stir fry the egg noodles in with the ham and cabbage. It is my FAVE comfort food, FAVE!!! I must have it with ketchup, and I like it a little bit burnt.

Last night it was Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and cream corn.
Tonight it's Ham steaks, scalloped potatoes and perogie's.
Tomorrow morning I'm putting a roast in the crock pot to slow cook all day long. (Boy does the house smell GREAT by the time I get home from work!!)

How about mini pizzas, i do a low fat version , i buy little pita breads, reduced fat cheese, low fat ham and make up a ham and pineapple version , i use lite tomato sauce, onion, WW reduced cheese, low fat ham and pineapple,of course you can add any topping you prefer or have the higher fat version if you prefer, i cook them and them freeze them, so nice and handy to have and quick and easy.

My all time favorite dinner is roast beef, mashed potatoes, yorkshire pudding, and gravy to smother them in! I like a variety of vegetables, so I change them around all the time. I find most of my recipes at All Recipes - all of the recipes are rated and have great reviews.

Mmmm.... Potato Soup! I made a pot last night. I also added some crispy, fried bacon that I diced. Yummy!

Another thought came to mind how about a Fritatta,(sp) i have a great recipe for a healthy WWatcher one with spinach and potato in it , it is really yummy.

theres a very easy way to have "marinated" chicken just submerge it in lemon juice and cook it on a pan without oil just the same lemon juice and a bit of water also you can add some lemon pepper powder and voila!!! you can serve it with a side of salad, pasta, bread, or anything and it just takes like 10 min to marinate or less and as long as it gets cooked................

also its a very easy thing to do but you need to fry some "tortillas" of corn not wheat, than add some tomato puree (SP?)and some..............argg forgot the name (consome) powder and serve it with some mashed beans, not chilli beans, regular beans............

you can also have some tuna mixed with philadelphia cheese, its really good.....have i said I LOVE cheese............hmmm.................

you can also have this wheat tortillas filled with chesee and ham and on the top you can spread some avocado and some sliced/chopped tomato...........

I have tons of easy recipes.... My family is all about easy...

What about chicken cacciatore? (sp) cacitore?(sp) (Ok I can't spell it but I can cook it and it's really yummy)

Take chicken (I like to use boneless skinless chicken thighs) and put in a roasting type pan. Cut green pepper, onion and mushrooms and put ontop of chicken. Mix can of tomato sauce and soup together in a bowl and add some water (approx 1/2 can or so). Pour over chicken. Sprinkle garlic powder and oregano on top. Put lid on pan and put in oven at 350F for approx 1.5 hours.

I serve it over noodles and I usually make wholewheat noodles.

Thanks all for the great ideas! Luckily, none of the guys are picky and are willing guinea pigs for everything I make. I always liked to cook, but since my mom died, it seems like I experiement with something new almost every night. I found it releases my stress. I buy a lot of boneless chicken breasts (they're always on sale) and sometimes go to "Cooks.com" for some wonderful, easy recipes. I love my George Foreman and us it alot.
Now I'm starving.....We should do a PT cookbook!!!

[beeniesmom]

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.

Thanks for this recipe.
I finally made it last night and it was a complete success. It came out so good. I even took pix. Will post them tonight! I hope the leftovers are good because that is what I brought for lunch!!!
