What's For Dinner?

[Marilyn. 340]

we were bad and went out for burger and fries at the Burger Depot but they were sooooooo good

[Krikit 1,163]

I wish we could find a good burger place.

[Marilyn. 340]

we have a tonne here... almost every corner has a burger joint... although not all of them are good

[Krikit 1,163]

We've found three so far. And they're all #######. Which means whenever we feel like a burger and fries I have to make them myself.

[Marilyn. 340]

mmm, the fries were so good... nice and crispy on the outside and the inside was cooked but nice and fluffy.... yum yum!!!

We went to Wendy's last night...it was good. Not sure about tonight though. We really need to go food shopping as my creativity is being stretched mighty thin these days! What I thought about doing was creating a menu and shopping for what we need to cook each meal. *sigh* Trying to find ways of cutting expenses is also a creative process too!

Happy day before your anniversary krikit!! If I am reading that correctly this is your second anniversary?

Nota bad idea at all - when it was just me and my daughter, we kind of flew by the seatof our pants. I planned ahead, but not always for a specific meal. It actually got pretty boring - basically I made the same 10 things with like frozen pizza and KD thrown in every so often

My mum has always been the one to sit down down each Weds night to look at the grocery flyers and plans a week's worth of meals based on what's on special. She's a great cook and has a variety of yummy things. She makes her list and even posts the dinner list so that if you want to know what's coming up she points you to it! I guess at some point she got sick of us asking

my mom has a system set up... like she will have ground beef on Mondays, Soup on Sundays, chicken on Thursdays etc... and then she picks from her collection of tried and true recipes...

[Marilyn. 340]

ok, I took out some chicken drumsticks for din-din tonight... I am thinking of making ugly naked chicken but then I would have to make rice so we could put the sauce over the rice but I was thinking of doing something with potatoes... so maybe I will do something else with the chicken..

Pizza for dinner tonight, Pizza Hut, stuff your crust for free! So that is what we are having, have never had the stuffed crust before - but I'm going for the cheese this time. Since I had the pizza with no cheese that one time and this one will have extra cheese - it balances out....right?

I think we are just going to have appys tonight .... have to go to the store and pick up some ingredients for appetizers I am making for Super Bowl tomorrow .... tonight, I think I might try a couple other recipes just to see if I should add them to my recipe list.

For tomorrow:

7 Layer dip and tortilla chips

salami and roast beef roll-ups (for the salami, I mix cream cheese with chopped pepperocini peppers. For the roast beef, cream cheese with horseradish, then I stuff the meats with the filling, roll up and cut into bite size pieces.) ... I LOVE these and it SUCKS I can't eat them now, but am making them for hubby.

Tonight, I think we will have veggies and dip (maybe a dill dip), clam dip (with veggies for me and of course chips for the guys) and a hot Mexican cheese dip with ground beef. Notice a theme here ... I am trying out lots of dip recipes

[Marilyn. 340]

ok this is what I am going to make.. never made it before but it got a bunch of good reviews... oh and I think I am going to make some potato wedgies to go with them...

Marinated chicken drumsticks

1/4 cup ketchup

2-3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1/4 cup oil

12 chicken drumsticks (or thighs, or legs...)

1. Mix first four ingredients.

2. Marinate chicken overnight, (or at least several hours).

3. Broil over medium coals for 45-60 minutes, or bake for 1 hour@ 350
