What's for dinner Monday?

11 years ago

Hope we've all recovered from the Superbowl. When the lights went out, mine did, too. I went to bed!! Wasn't watching anyway. I did enjoy Puppy Bowl, though. Too cute!

I actually got a lot done today. Still have lots to do before we move into the guest room so I can clean our bedroom and bath and get rid of stuff. If you walked through our house you'd think it was rather sparse. That's because all the clutter is behind closed closet doors or in dressers/drawers. I figure it'll take me 3-6 days to do it right. Sigh!

Dinner tonight is leftover sliders, potato salad and a sliced avocado. A few more slices of that Mrs. Prindable's apple, which is delicious, BTW. If you need a different gift for someone, I highly recommend it!

Hope you've had a good day. What's for dinner?

P.S. Last night I posted a big long answer to all your posts but I guess I forgot to hit "Submit" again. I tell you my brain is mush these days!

Tonight is Mexican train night. I will probably have some pasta with some tiny meatballs (leftover from the stuffed shells) . DH will probably finish his London broil.

No recovering from super bowl for me :o)

Paw Paw Patch for a small grilled hmbgr patty, creamed corn and squash casserole with a warm corn muffin

Tonight I SHOULD be cruising for 11 nites with gals I generally cruise with, but I waited too late to book and that's the end of that story.

Wow, your dinners all sound so good! I love the chicken in the slow cooker, steak, pasta sauce. Stir-fries are always good, and anything can be used in it. So versatile. Baked salmon and asparagus sounds delicious! I've got asparagus in the frig, that I'll either cook with orzo, or maybe roast it. We love it roasted. The last time we did that I made Angela's roasted asparagus breaded with breadcrumbs and parmesan. Thank you SO much for the best wishes guys. I just read them to him and he's touched. I know things will be good and he'll have a good recovery. This is a top-notch hospital AND it's all done by robot. Not laproscopy but a robot, not a human hand. He think that's very cool. LOL The time wearing the catheter and the recovery time is greatly reduced by choosing this method. And he's home the following morning, vs spending 3 days in the hospital with the traditional surgery.

We just finished watching the first episode of this season's Blacklist and thought I'd check back while setting up for Castle. Shirley, here's the recipe. Easy-peasy and delicious! Pam, you could have been here, as usual I made enough to feed at least 1 more person! Oven Ã¢ÂÂfriedÃ¢ÂÂ chicken Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 20 to 25 minutes 1/3 cup dry unseasoned bread crumbs 2 teaspoons sesame seeds 1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise (not salad dressing mayonnaise) 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 2 dashes cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning 4 (4 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves Cooking spray Preheat oven to 425ÃÂ°F. Place bread crumbs, sesame seeds, and Parmesan cheese in a large zip-top bag and shake gently to combine. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and poultry seasoning. Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of each piece of chicken with the mayonnaise mixture. Place chicken, one piece at a time, into the bread crumb mixture in the zip-top bag, seal, and shake to coat chicken well. Transfer chicken to a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spray chicken evenly with cooking spray. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink in the center. Yield: 4 servings

Prairie Rose, do you barbecue all winter long, or was it because the weather was nicer today? Morz I love a well-done roast, and the slow cooker makes it easy. I also love cranberries in my salad. Have you tried them with roasted brussels sprouts? That's a favourite with us. Monica I made sweet potato fries last week and we loved them. The last time I tried baking them, they oozed out over my oven. I didn't realize they cooked so much faster than white potatoes. Rhizo, I love reading your dinner threads. You are so darn healthy! BLF, isn't it nice when a recipe from a fellow member turns into a keeper? Shirley, I wasn't sure if today classified as a "holiday" today (Family Day) so I made sure I roasted my vegetables before 5 pm to at least get the mid-rate hydro rate. I hate the smart meters. Moni, I add cheddar cheese to my broccoli soup. Probably negates any positive benefits of the broccoli, but it sure tastes good.

We had leftovers from Mother's Day. I was not too hungry so I just had a grilled chicken thigh and a piece of my black raspberry pie. Had leftovers for lunch too. The weather here today was fairly nice, great breeze a little sprinkle once in awhile and some sun was out too. Right now it is 71 outside. Sue in Central Indiana

Ground turkey/gravy over a potato, along with creamed corn. Also had a small amount of cottage cheese.

Sorry you missed your cruise, Glenda.

Shirley, how I love turkey and gravy. Only can I have mine over toast? (I think I just invited myself to dinner--sorry!) It just sounds so darned good.

Jude, do you make your own tamales? I've read recipes for them and it doesn't sound too hard, but if there's something good on the market that doesn't involve making the dough, etc., please let me know the secret. I just love those things!

Nice, healthy dinner, Raven. Harry got some nice, fresh tilapia at Publix last week. Your DH must be a good vegetable eater, too.

Yogalady, that's my goal--only the whole house clean at one time. I think I need a few more arms and a better back, though. Not everyone likes to cook or recipes just make too much, but we all have to eat. Doesn't matter if it's store bought, homemade or takeout, it's fun to share what we're eating every day (and also what we're doing). Right now, you've given me the ambition to get with it in the a.m. and get more done. Thank you!!!
