What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[dizneegirl]

Caprese salad, roast chicken that came with an avocado, corn and tomato salad ( it was sour and nasty).
NSA chocolate ice cream

Have you had any good food?

We tried Taylor Farms stir fry teriyaki with noodles. It was so yummy. I added some leftover chicken to it. The bag looks like salad kit and included noodles that you microwave then toss in the wok with the veggies and a lovely sauce. We had some leftover scallions and cilantro that I used to top it . I’m definitely getting it again! Plus they were on sale 2 for $5! I see they now have the kits at Walmart as well.

Chicken cutlets tonight and will be lunch during the week and another dinner. It's been a rough week with our car getting totaled in a parking lot by a complete idiot trying to pass us on the right while we were pulling into a spot and my dad coming down with bronchitis and an upper respiratory infection. I am quite ready for the universe to give us a much needed break and to get take out, but we have to get a new car so take out isn't happening. Sigh.

Oh no. Hope you are all ok.

Sheet pan sausage and peppers with spaghetti and sauce on the side. Some of us like the sausage and peppers without the noodles, some with and some with the noodles and sauce. Everyone found their combination tonight.

I never even thought of making that with noodles. We have sweet Italian sausage, peppers and sweet onions on a grinder sub roll topped with provolone.

Tried a crockpot recipe for Beef and Barley soup and it’s a keeper!

I can't believe how well the risotto came out last night. Instead of looking up a fancy recipe, I used the one on the arborio rice container -- it's the first time my husband reached for seconds of anything rice.

SIL is staying with us for a week, so I'm a bit on "visitor" mode in cooking. Steak tonight with leftover risotto and broccoli. DH will grill the steaks.

It was an exhausting kind of day. Arrived for a 9:00 am medical appt and told I had no insurance coverage- ehhh!!!!! It was on from then until about 4:30 pm when finally told (in writing) it was a mistake.

Heated up the lasagna soup (minus the noodles) and so happy I hadn’t put it in the freezer yet. No advance work for the Asian New Year party today; too busy doing stupid stuff so I’ll try to make it up later in the week. Not tomorrow though as I’ve another medical appointment.

Ugh, been through more of this than I care to think about. Beyond frustrating.

Since I have to arrange special transport for all of my mother's appointments I pester, pester, pester everyone beforehand and work like a demon to make sure something like this doesn't happen because it's a couple hundred $$ in transportation fees for an oopsie on somebody's part.

This is a new combo to me. Interesting idea.

DD found a recipe for sausage-rigatoni bake that she wanted me to try out. It was weird... Two cans of crushed tomatoes, 4 tsp salt, 2 tsp sugar, Italian spices, a pound of sweet Italian sausage, and a stick of butter go in a 9X13 pan in the oven, uncovered, at 350 for 45 minutes. Stir well, add 1 cup of water and a pound of uncooked rigatoni, stir well, cover, bake for 25-ish minutes. Top with mozzarella and put back in the oven to melt. It took forEVer and tastes just like it would have if I browned the meat in a frying pan, added it to the sauce, boiled up the rigatoni, and threw it all together, in about half the time. Everyone liked it, but I wasn't a fan of the texture of the noodles. Oh well... that, a bag of salad, and a loaf of sesame seed encrusted french bread and voila! Supper!!
[The stick of butter thing still throws me...]

Sorry, you lost me the first time you said "stick of butter". Cannot wrap my brain around the idea of Italian sausage cooking with butter, let alone a full stick. I'm sure your preferred method would be MUCH better.

Yeah, the stick of butter thing... The "bake" came out fine, I guess. They all liked it. I am not a huge pasta fan to begin with, and I really don't like what happens to the texture when "raw" pasta is cooked in sauce in the oven. I don't think this is a recipe I'll repeat, that's for sure!

Tonight is Thai green curry lentil soup, also a new recipe from DD's magazine. It sounds pretty tasty, but we'll see. It all depends on how spicy green curry paste is. I have some leftover roast chicken we'll have on the side, some crusty rolls and yet another bagged salad mix. In my defense, they are on sale this week and we eat the entire bag, so no leftovers. I hate making a traditional salad, and we don't remember to eat them often enough to make it cost-effective, as the lettuce turns to soup, leftover cut tomatoes get squooshy, etc.

I'm meeting both DDs tonight for a concert movie so I'm picking up a chicken shwarma salad beforehand so I can grab a bite before I leave and DH will have a dinner waiting when he gets home. Of course the weather is throwing a curveball at us and I know I'm going to be anxious throughout the whole thing worrying about snow, sleet, ice coming down while we're in there.

Vegetable soup, mashed potatoes and grilled chicken wings

Chicken Caesar Salad. I'll oven-roast the chicken breasts, and make gluten free croutons with sandwich bread that is old.

Love shawarma! Enjoy
