What's for Dinner?

[Luv2CUSmile]

Thought this would be a cool post...
Everyone can just post "dinner" even if it's not made at home-
Now that I am not working, I find I am making some things I haven't done in years and then I still have days that I really could care less and we do hotdogs w/ chili, slaw etc... and then the extreme.... takeout!

So... What's for Dinner?
I will start,
Tonight we had stuffed bell peppers- Very nice change of pace and it has been quite some time since I made them-
Hubby and I have 2 left over for lunch tomorrow- Mmmm!

~Luv

Tonight was leftover pizza. Our AC died yesterday and it was too hot to cook! The AC couldn't have died last week when we had a cool spell? NOOOO
Tomorrow will be chicken and dumlings as the AC is now fixed!

Tonight my S/O made a lovely salad spread, since everyone likes different things in their salads. We had bean sprouts (raw and sauteed), red, yellow and green peppers (same way) sauteed slivered carrots, heirloom tomatoes, mandarin oranges, left over cornish hen meat, and a few other things I can't think of.

Last night was Thai night, with Pad Thai, wild rice and mushrooms and fresh yeast rolls, and the night before was meatballs & sausage in a home made tomato sauce, with eggplant/mushroom parmasan on the side with home made garlic rolls.

Geez, I love this man!!!!

well just cooking for one person,, I cook a pot of rice on Sunday, then find different things through out the week to have with it, on it.. lol Feeling like onions, cabage, carrots today...

 

[Kimerpuff]

we generally do soup and sand every other night, the inbetween nights everyone gets a turn to cook. My son has tuesday nights always, hes 15 and this week he made chicken stir fry. It was mmMMmm! Tonight is my turn and its spagetti.

The Salad spread sounds awesome Mingo!
Kimer, I like that idea! When we both worked, my kids cooked through the week and we cooked on the weekends (or we did takeout through the week) Then, my husband does most cooking and now that I am home I am cooking mostly all the time now- My oldest son will do a big Sunday Breakfast- His specialty!
But, even w/ all their activities I like a taking turns approach...
My two oldest boys learned to cook at about 10 yrs old or younger (cooking basics at first and learned more challenging things) - My daughter is 13 now and still can't even cook grilled cheese! She acts so helpless to any household type chores- LOL Really not funny- I am putting her on duty now!
Lol
Okay, well tonight we had oven fried pork loin steaks w/ mac n cheese and mixed veggies- Very good!

I am teaching my grandsons to cook. The oldest is learning spaghetti and can already make a great picadillo with rice. ( a Spanish dish) The younger one can make brown sugar carrots and makes desserts with me.

The chicken and dumplings were so good tonight!

 

[rocketvapor]

I'm ashamed to admit it, but tonight so far I'm having Dawn's diyflavorshack Thin Mints juice for dinner. Why didn't anyone tell me how addictive this stuff was????

Good god, I just got my sampler pack yeaterday, and I'm like a vaping fool. This is bad.

Can one actually die of starvation whist vaping cheesecake?

Inquiring minds want to know.............

 

[Mary Kay]

Rocket! You spoke in an English accent! I love the word Whilst!

Like I used to tell my daughter when she paniced if my grandon wouldn't eat..don't sweat it! When he gets hungry he will eat! he is now a very healthy 16!

 

[mixxy]

MaryKay.. I LOVE chicken & dumplings!! I made them all the time when my kiddies were growing up, and now my daughter makes them... and the grandkiddies love them too. My current hubby (#2) doesn't like dumplings, so I never bother anymore... but maybe he would eat the chicken 'stuff' on mashed potatoes instead... and then I could have ALL the dumplings!

Its funny, my brother (has 6 kids now including stepkids) thinks its to much work to teach his kids to cook! He is NUTS! Sure at first it is, but Cody has been cooking for a couple years now and I can yell directions or answer questions from another room instead of hovering over his shoulder now.. that is so awesome!!! He did have cooking in school, which is what started this for us. He had to cook and we got to review one meal a week. My daughter who is now 23, refused to learn to cook in junior high/high school! she swore she was going to marry a chef LOL!! Now she dating a guy in pre-med and considering cooking classes lmao!!

Tonight its the old mans turn to cook, he is making burgers, fries, and broccoli hehe

 

[Crankyfuzz]

At least he included a veggie...


tonight we had chicken Alfredo homemade

 

[Luv2CUSmile]

Hey all- Well, Me to... I love Chicken N Dumplins! My most asked for meal on my birthday as a kid ... AND now- LOL
My husband can cook so I am lucky but my daughter is making excuses- saying, "it's a fact, most girls marry guys like their dad's, so I will marry a guy that can cook so I won't have to" LMAO- She thinks this will work!

Alfredo is one of my hub's favorites... I will have to do this one next week I guess-
Tonight we did a pork shoulder roast- mainly so I can have leftovers Saturday night. My 10 yr old will be 11 Sunday and on Saturday he is having a couple friends spend the night and on Sunday he will have about 10 boys over for an actual Birthday party. I am worn slap out trying to get things together!
My big boys are at Homecoming tonight- we have been going through Spirit week all week long- LOL It is still funny even if it isn't us!
My daughter keeps begging to go stay over at a friends house that we don't know- So... short answer- No!
Until I meet parents and such, we just don't allow it. So, she is trying to get teh girl to come over w/ her mom tomorrow... Or... can I take her over there and visist with the mom... NOT- I got about 12 boys that will be here Sunday and that don't include my own... & Saturday will have 2 extras in the house.. not a real big deal but I gotta get party stuff together w/o kids checking it all out... Whew!
U guys take care! Oh! Rocket, Sounds like a dinner I can wrap my "fork" around... That and a nice, icey Hornsby! Sounds good now as a matter of fact!

 

[Mary Kay]

KCF chicken sandwiches..the freeon leaked out AGAIN! The guy thinks the problem is in a pipe under the hose. I don't care! Just fix it already!
It's hotter in the house then out..and it's in the 90's outside.
You guys up north have 3 dog nights..down here it's 2 fan nights!

 

[Kimerpuff]

we need the dogs to keep us warm!

Tonight we are having clean out the freezer night
chicken breasts and steak on the grill (love that forman guy!)
Fries and corn!

 

[Luv2CUSmile]

Well, Of course, our leftovers (pork shoulder roast) and the kids had pizza...(I grabbed a slice too-lol)
sitting back w/ a Dew and my vape... browsing the boards and watching CSI... I have a feeling for a snack... gotta see what we got that I am willing to share- LOL

 

[RKayne]

Haha! Love these answers! (Especially Rockets!). I tend to multi task when doing certain things, like grilling. I smoke our food so I like to use the grill all out! So, last time we decided we wanted chili cheese dogs and had our neighbours over. I also seasoned 2 chicken breasts, one with garlic, black pepper and kosher salt, the other (insert shhh here) with a touch of soy, olive oil, kosher salt, garlic, cayenne and onion. That last one was for dinner. With carmelized onions and Santa Fe peppers and flour tortillas, shredded cheddar and sour creme.

My son's name is Cody too and he can cook too while I'm in the living room giving directions thru the open bar. He once cooked a whole dinner for 6, cube steak with gravy, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and even made biscuits. My daughter Emily cooks great too although she had to call me the other day and ask how to make gravy. (MK You were right, she will always need me,lol) My oldest son, Jesse, can't boil water,lol I'm working on him though.

I cooked Sonic tonight. We have so much going on with a birthday and a funeral in the next couple of days. There is only just so much I can stand up and do and I've hit my limit. They are lucky I treated them to Sonic,lol I could of just told them to eat Hot Pockets,lol

 

[mixxy]

We had shredded beef enchilada casserole.. yummy! I love to buy a couple of chuck roasts on sale, and cook up 2 in the crockpot. We eat one, and I shred the other roast and divide it up to freeze for making quick beef enchilada casserole later.

 

[Mingolvr]

We had left overs.....I missed chiming in about the main meal on Thursday...

My sister got a phone call from friends of hers from home (England) and they were only 150 miles from here vacationing too. So, we invited them to dinner.

They got the star treatment. Sharky made baked salmon with bernaise sauce and sauted cherry tomatoes, asparagus wrapped with prosciutto, baked creamer potatoes and rugala (raspberry/ walnut and chocolate/cream cheese) for dessert.

We had the left over salmon today. Last night, since Sharky was home, we hit the casino up for snow crab legs on the buffet! I don't eat out much, but can't beat crab legs on a buffet!

Tomorrow? I'm doing beef ribs. And whatever else I find in the fridge that needs eaten!
