What's for Dinner?

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Tue Jan 17, 2012 9:40 pm

I hate it when my kids come home late and say "hey Mom, what's for dinner."

Anyway, I'm kind of tired of the same old thing and was hoping for some new ideas, or just say what you made or had for dinner.

Tonight I made chicken and mole with rice. I cheated on the mole as its almost impossible to get the homemade thing in the U.S. The rice was just simple homemade Mexican style rice with a few veggies.

What did you have for dinner?

by **Periwinkle** on Tue Jan 17, 2012 10:00 pm

That sounds really good.

I made stuffed peppers tonight. I heated up some peppers in the oven and, while that was going on, I cooked some white rice. Then, I zapped the meat sauce I made a couple of days ago. Once the peppers and rice were done, I filled the peppers with the meat sauce and then topped it with the white rice. It was a good dinner; I just wish I made more.

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Tue Jan 17, 2012 10:02 pm

UUmmm. That does sound good. :eat:

I think I might buy some peppers this week.

We made a homemade lasagna tonight, we did not have any mushrooms for it though so we put other vegetables in it instead of-- it turned out great, alot for three people. I bought a red wine after work to go with it and some garlic bread. Most of the time at my sister's we order take out, so it is nice to actually cook for a change.

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Wed Jan 18, 2012 7:09 pm

Hi Shara,

I LOVE lasagna. I like the Florentine one too. I'v never made one homemade though.

My other half hates Italian.
But Garlic bread on the other hand is always around my house. It goes with so many meals. Yumm

I'm using the leftover chicken breast meat for chicken sandwiches tonight. Pretty simple.

by **physco kid** on Wed Jan 18, 2012 8:26 pm

Sausage with some potato salad. :bored:

Dang!!! I want some of the food on here!!!-_-

by **Seale** on Thu Jan 19, 2012 4:49 am

I made crêpes for breakfast, with strawberry jam and powdered sugar.

Lunch will be jalapeño cheeseburgers.

And I don't know about dinner.

Maybe I'll have a tuna steak and a salad.

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Thu Jan 19, 2012 7:18 am

^ That sounds good Seale,

I haven't had crepes for a long time. I think I have all the ingredients, whats the ratio of milk, eggs and flour? I want to make that this morning.

Do you get real tuna steaks or do you get something like Mahi Mahi? I like to cook my Mahi Mahi steaks with garlic, butter and lemon juice. That's another thing I haven't had for a while.

Uhh, I still have left over chicken, so I thought I would make a chicken Caesar salad for lunch.

by **misha666** on Thu Jan 19, 2012 7:32 am

last nite i had chkn salad on french bread nd tonite were having tacos!! ground beef tacos w/ cheese and all that comes with it.

I use two eggs and half a cup of milk for each cup of flour.

And I get real tuna steaks - didn't even know what Mahi Mahi was until you mentioned it.

I like to cook 'em plain, with just some black pepper and salt. I put it on a layer of mixed salad leaves - lollo rosso, romaine, and rucola - with a dash of garlic dressing and dry red chili flakes.

It's simple, and tasty - and pretty healthy too.

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Thu Jan 19, 2012 7:51 am

Thanks for the update. Cant wait to have me some crepes. :cabbagepatch:

You recipe for the tuna steaks sounds good and very healthy.

by **Chelsea Lynn** on Thu Jan 19, 2012 1:32 pm

3 nights ago I made pasta with chicken, broccoli, and alfredo sauce (none of the store bought stuff! yucky.)
2 nights ago I made the best chicken enchiladas. I love them. The recipe is so simple, but it takes a while to actually put them together. but they're soooo delish.

Tonight..

Well tonight I'll probably order chinese or something cause I don't wanna cook and I have no food in the house unless I do breakfast for dinner.. which I might!

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Thu Jan 19, 2012 2:26 pm

I'v been doing breakfast for dinner a lot lately. Thats the good old way to pinch pennies. :lol:

My favorite is bacon, eggs,biscuits and gravy. I make my gravy with the bacon grease instead of sausage. Ummm, Im really making myself hungry.

I got an idea from PK. I think I'm going to make sausage with home fried potatoes. Ima fry the potatoes with bits of onion, jalapeno and bacon, and seasoning of course. BBQ the beef sausage with a little BBQ sauce. Yummy :boogie:

by **cap1015** on Thu Jan 19, 2012 2:35 pm

Steaks, marinated and grilled on the outdoor grill
Twice baked potatoes
Green Salad wiht Tomatoes/cucumbers/celery/carrots

carrot cake cupcakes for desert.............that's what I will fix for the family, me I going to have a 2 or 3 beers, olives/hard cheese and some pumpernicle bread...........I know I'm crazy but I'm craving the stuff I like and I really am tired of eating what I cook!

Gawd that sounds great, cap. Jealous you can still outdoor Bbq where you live.

Have not had my supper yet... We are prolly going to just order take out Chinese when all get back home. I don't feel like cooking today and guessing my sweetie won't after sports, nor will my friend.
Yesterday I made a baked trout, with yellow beans, asparagus and a potato scallop. I always try to have fish at least once a week, makes me feel happier

I was craving pizza tonight, but will have to do with spaghetti.

It was very good. I love spaghetti with chunky sauce with beef.

@Jeff
I lived in NYC a long while ago. I just moved to Seattle last month. It has been snowing a lot. You "guys" can eat so much more and usually dont gain as much weight. I swear I walked by a bakery and smell the food and gain weight. But If I could eat that much I problem would. I just get too full, around 2-3 pieces.

by **SharA2** on Sun Jan 22, 2012 7:26 pm

We had some odd Tofu stir-fry tonight, with snow peas and red peppers over rice. It tasted nice, so I guess that is all that matters.

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Sun Jan 22, 2012 7:36 pm

Left over Spaghetti.

It's always good as leftovers, but I was hoping for carne asada this weekend. :cabbagepatch:

by **physco kid** on Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:18 pm

Nothing special. :bored:

A tuna cheese skillet. Weird looking but great tasting! :lol:

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Wed Jan 25, 2012 7:50 pm

@ GG, That sounds good. Is it cold where you are? Do you make your noodles homemade too. O bet that is a wonderful meal after a cold day.

Tonight I made ground beef and mac and cheese hamburger helper. That's it.

Have you ever tried meatloaf sandwich Jojo? It's pretty good. :eat:

I made a huge pot of homemade chile yesterday. Probably about 4 or 5 gallons of it. There is only a few bowls left for lunch today! I guess everyone liked it. Cost about 15 bucks and everyone had plenty. :cabbagepatch:

I'm making honey ham steaks & pasta salad tonight. I just need a 2nd side dish for it and don't really have any ideas. Maybe baked beans? Hmmm...

by **physco kid** on Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:52 am
