What's for dinner tonight?

[Csara]

I thought this would be a cool ongoing thread if we can keep it up. Whoever wants to participate, feel free to jump in whether it be every day or once a week or whatever. Post your plans for dinner of the day you are posting. If possible, include a recipe. I will think about what we're having tomorrow and post back then. Hope some of you will join me! :)

[Sexy Strawberry]

This is a cool thread, but I tell you, most days my dinner will be a salad lol! Today I don't know what I will have but I can tell you what I had last night:

Tuna croquettes with rice.

[heather6773]

I have today off from work so when that happens I make a more eleborate meal.
I love making Garlic Parmesean cheese chicken....
I don't have a real recipe just some ingresients that I throw together...

In a flat dish I add the following.....
Garlic powder
onion powder
parmesean cheese(sprinkle kind)
a packet of Good Seasoning Italian dressing mix(dry)
paprika(sp?)

then I drop chicken breasts in it and roll it around....bake on 350 degrees until done....again no time to give cause I just watch it closely......:feed: but it is quite good and its one dish my boys will ask for seconds on .....

well I guess I just talked myself into that one.....:dance:

[Sexy Strawberry]

Today I had beans soup for dinner and a muffin afterwards. :feed:

[Csara]

We are having Chicken Kiev (w/ parmesan and coated w/ cornflakes), baby spinach salad and bread.

[heather6773]

ok change of plans....went to the grocery store and the beef roasts were on sale. I picked up one and have been slow cooking it since 2pm.....add potatoes and corn.

[HomeGirl21]

Last night mom and I made hamburgers, baked beans, and guacamole with chips! :)

[Arelschmerel]

Tonight is dd's gymnastic's class so I just threw some chicken and veggies in the crockpot this morning so it'll be ready when we get back home.

[RedBedHead]

Chicken Alfredo @ church :feed:

[Deana]

beef and veggie stir fry with lomein noodles, potstickers

i throw this together:

sautee beef (I buy it packaged as "beef for stirfry)
add a bag of frozen veggies specifically for stirfry. my grocery sells the veggies and sauce combined.
meanwhile, boil a package of ramen noodles. once they are cooked, add to the veggie/meat combo.

I buy frozen potstickers and pop them in the oven.

kind of lame but quick and good!!

[Sexy Strawberry]

Last night I had a small pizza that was in the fridge... lol

[Csara]

spaghetti with meatballs and a caesar salad

I bought a caesar salad kit - the romaine lettuce, croutons, parmesan and dressing

I made the meatballs though:
lean ground beef, shredded parmesan cheese, 1 egg lightly beaten, bread crumbs, 1 small yellow onion (chopped), oregano, fresh ground pepper....mix together with hands and form balls.

heat pan with olive oil and add meatballs till browned. drain oil and add tomato sauce to the pan. simmer meatballs while boiling the spaghetti. mix together and voila! :)

[shan]

Beef and noodles with mash potatoes! I can't get enough of that since becoming pregnant!

I cook the beef in a slow cooker all day then I transfer it to a pan and add the noodle when the potatoes are just about done. Really easy!

[RedBedHead]

Cheesy Chicken, Sauteed Peas, and Au Gratin Potatoes

Cheesy Chicken
Dredge chicken breasts in butter (healthy I know) and coat with crushed Cheez Its.

Sauteed Peas
Frozen Peas, garlic and olive oil in a pan. I must say that this is a delicious way to prepare peas.

Potatoes are from a box. I swear one day I will really cook again. For right now, it's all about what's quick and will fill the bellies.

[honeybunny]

Last night, we had glazed citrus chicken, honey-spiced carrots, and broccoli-cheese rice (Lipton mix).

Glazed Citrus Chicken:
Place ~ 1 lb B/S chicken breasts or tenders in baking dish. Squeeze juice from 1 orange, 1 lemon, and 1 lime over chicken. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt and 1 teaspoon seasoned pepper evenly over chicken (recipe calls for Lawry's brand). Cover and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
While chicken is baking, prepare glaze. Drain 1 can apricot halves and process in blender. In small saucepan combine processed apricots, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, and a dash of nutmeg. Heat until bubbles appear. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 5 minutes stirring once or twice. Pour glaze over chicken and bake, uncovered, an additional 10 minutes.

Honey-Spiced Carrots:
Peel 1.5 lbs carrots and cut into 1.5 x 0.5 inch strips. Boil water and cook carrots for 3 minutes or until crisp tender. Transfer to colander. In same saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over moderate heat. Add 1/4 cup honey, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir until bubbly. Add carrots and heat, tossing, for 3 minutes or until well coated and hot.

[RedBedHead]

Tonight we're having Stuffed Shells, Salad, and Garlic Bread

[meliz]

Frozen pizza and Spinach salad.

[heather6773]

PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!

[Csara]

Steak w/ chimichurri sauce!

[HomeGirl21]

PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!

That sounds so good right now! I am debating whether I should order one for lunch.

Tonight, we are having leftover homeade chicken noodle soup, sandwiches, and salad.

[meliz]

Stuffed pork loin, ala Hub, and roasted vegetables (yams, parnsips and carrots) a la me, and a green veggie... maybe beans?

[Csara]

We are going to attempt to make our own pizza dough tonight for a pizza. Yum!

[Neneuu]

Original Hot, lemon pepper, and garlic parmesan wings... I love Wing Stop! :1preggo: <--- me full of wings lol

[Sexy Strawberry]

I had ray (fish) with potatoes and red pepper... yum!!! And an orange for dessert...

[heather6773]

Well last night we decided to have breakfast for dinner.
We had pancakes,bacon and eggs over easy....hubby likes scrambled. The boys think thats just the best thing. My Grandma does that occasionaly too. I just try to come up with different meals the boys will eat. The aren't really picky but there are a few "creations" I've made they just look at me like......:sick: :barf: oh well soon I'll have them plan meals.....

[RedBedHead]

We went out for pizza last night. Tonight dh is making some kind of pork chops.

[meliz]

Not sure, but something with Quinoa (keen-wah). Has anyone had this? It is an amazing "ancient grain" that you use as you would rice. I had it at a dinner party a couple weeks ago and it was amazing! It is apparently a near perfect source of protien, great for people who don't eat much/any meat. I have a recipe for a rice dish that consists of onion, blackbeans, crushed red peppers... I may try this with the Quinoa instead of rice. Oh, and you can also eat this as a hot cereal... with brown sugar and cinnamon. Though I have't tried this, I hear its tastey.

Dimes to dollars hubs will prefer leftovers of his pork dish from last night -- which was very, very tastey, but not something I want again.

[RedBedHead]

My Grandparents had their 50th anniversary party today so dh and I will probably just have chips/dip while we watch Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy.
We'll figure out something a bit more healthy for the kiddos. Maybe Spaghetti O's :biglaugh:

[Sexy Strawberry]

Last night I had fried red peppers, bread and then an orange and a banana. I wasn't hungry...

[Csara]

My mom's childhood friend is visiting them here from Italy and she is cooking a real Italian meal for us tonight. I can't wait!!!!

[Sexy Strawberry]

I went out for dinner and had louisiana salad and then a brownie with vanilla ice-cream.

[meliz]

I'm embarassed to say this... KRAFT DINNER! (and spinach salad, because I am a grownup and can't get away with KD and hotdogs anymore:)). This is a huge treat for me... maybe a once-a-year deal. Hub hates it, if you can imagine. I love "yellow death" so much, in fact, that I seriously have to take my serving and toss the rest right away... I can seriously see me eating the whole box if I didn't! No satiation whatsoever. Oh, I did share a little with Gloria who of course thought it was meow-valous.

[Deana]

i made basil roasted vegetables over couscous with herbed goat cheese. OMG, I think I want to eat it for breakfast, so yummy!!

[HomeGirl21]

I am ordering in tonight from a local eatery! I am having a steak, bacon, and cheddar sandwich! :)

[Sexy Strawberry]

I had hake, shrimps and aspargus... and an orange.

[HomeGirl21]

I had hake, shrimps and aspargus... and an orange.

You eat really healthy! :)
I wish I had time to eat like that more often.

[Csara]

Yeah, you totally do eat healthy. That is great! I need to be more conscious of what I eat.

I had coconut chicken fingers and some granola.

[RedBedHead]

DH and I are going to have brie, apples, and crackers after the kids go to bed :eyebrow:

[jana]

I mostly just snacked on random stuff: hummus & cucumber, spinach, a frozen whole-grain waffle, chili I made yesterday to commemorate National Chili Day :lol:. Oh, and Annie's mac & cheese.

I'm a-hankerin' for some fruit, though, so when the little man is down for a bit I may go slice up an apple or an orange. Ooh, or a grapefruit!

[Sexy Strawberry]

You eat really healthy! :)
I wish I had time to eat like that more often.

Yea... I eat very healthy when I am at home with my parents, we eat a lot of fresh fish... but from Monday to Thursday I cook for myself... it's not that I don't eat healthy when I'm alone but I almost don't eat LOL

[meliz]

Well it's Saturday... and I live in the rural Maritimes... so of course I am having baked beans (par boiling as I type)-- definitely an all day thing)! Likely we'll have coleslaw with them, and brown bread.

[Tigerlily]

We're having spinach stuffed chicken with rice tonight. Weekends are the only time I really have time to cook.

[Sexy Strawberry]

[Deana]

if I do say so myself, I made a fabulous curry dish with basamati rice and naan.

[jana]

Ooh, D, care to share the recipe? :) I'm always trying to make Indian food but I usually end up winging it (which sometimes works, but then I can't recreate it) because I don't like any of the recipes I have.

[HomeGirl21]

Tonight we had turkey and rice soup. I also had a bowl of cereal.

[Sexy Strawberry]

[IUgrad02]

Last night I went out with my friends and I had a cheeseburger, fries, and a tollhouse cookie sundae!

:thumb2:


Gosh, this sounds way more like me than any of the other posts. I guess after reading thru this, I'm totally shocked that DH and I aren't huge. We eat out alllll the time, and when we don't we eat really random meals at home that aren't that healthy. :(

Last night we went to Bennigan's w/ family. I had a BBQ Bacon & Cheese Grilled Chicken Sand w/ fries, and DH had a chicken fettuccini meal. We both had a piece or two of the sampler platter that came out before dinner too, which was mozzerella stix, chicken wings, and potato skins.

Tonight we're going out to eat again b/c it's Friday and we ALWAYS go out on fridays! I'm not sure where yet though.........

I just realized we ate out on Wed. too b/c we both had long days and didn't want to cook! :lol: We ate pizza out.

I'm feeling realllllllllllly unhealthy here. :eek:

[IUgrad02]

PS- I do make up for this by eating salad fairly regularly and having lots of fresh fruit........plus I eat lots of whole grain breads...yogurts.... and we both have very light lunches almost daily at work and we work out pretty regularly. Still, DH never eats fruit/dairy/veggies. We need a better diet, but it's so hard b/c we are both kind of picky. :(

[HomeGirl21]

Tonight we are having ham and cheese potatoes and a salad.

[Sexy Strawberry]

Last night I had salad (lettuce, sweet corn, tuna, boiled egg, croutons, dill)

[heather6773]

uuurrrrggggg no time for dinner last night....too busy at work. I did manage to eat a Reese Fastbreak and washed it down with Mountain Dew. How's that for BAD Megan:sick: Today I am off and plan to make a GREAT meal for my family!!!!

[Sexy Strawberry]

Salad again, how original! It was like the one from yesterday but without egg. And a banana.

[HomeGirl21]

Last night we had pizza.

[heather6773]

well the good dinner I had planned got canceled due to my job...got called in!!!:rolleyes: Anyhoo it was a Micky-D's night....I was good and got soup. Zach likes the salads and Brenden likes the double cheeseburger.(I swear I don't know where he puts it!!!)

Tonight we're have slow-cooked Sun-dried tomato chix breasts w/ mushrooms and black olives. With rice.

[HomeGirl21]

Tuesday night we had cheesy potato soup.

[jana]

Definitely nothing fancy tonight! I'm eating the quickest thing possible - poor man's pasta primavera (mac & cheese with frozen peas), popcorn & blood orange italian soda (basically a fancy, overpriced version of orange crush). I'd like some fruit, too - maybe a pear or a plum the next time I get up.

[Sexy Strawberry]

[Sexy Strawberry]

Salad and sausages (this is Germany)

[heather6773]

We had whole wheat pasta with organic marinara sauce. I wanted a caeser salad but the greens looked wilty so no salad just italian bread on the side.

To go along with that I'm making (errrr....warming) a Spiral Cut Ham and Smothered Green Beans.
