What's For Dinner?

[trailmix 77]

Well we did have the stir fry last night, was very good, I put a little curry powder and tumeric in it, which I don't normally and that made it extra good I think. One thing I really like is sesame oil for frying asian dishes, not much, just a few drops - it's great stuff.

Tonight we will be having the left over shepards pie from Monday, yahoo!

well, we did end up having chili dogs but they were actually quite good... I used a can of Hormel Chili with no beans... I think so far it is one of the best canned chilis we have tried...

today I plan on making sgetti and meatballs... I make a mean meatball but don't ask me for the recipe because I don't have one I just put in a little of this and a little of that.... and I just use a jarred sauce but the sauce I use is very yummy... I usually fry up some onions and bell peppers and then add the sauce but I only have onion right now... and then i serve it all over angel hair pasta.. my hubby likes that pasta the best....

I love making meatballs this way too Marilyn....actually I do most of my cooking like this. Just putting in a little of this, a little of that. Depends on what I have on hand. I don't usually use a jarred sauce, but I'm running out of my home canned stuff, so I'm on the look out for some jarred stuff I like. Angel hair pasta is MY favourite too!

Tonight I'm making zuchinni sausauge squares. A very quick good recipe. I usually have soup with it, or a salad. If anyone wants the recipe let me know. It's a variation of a recipe I found once years ago. I had it published in the paper here last summer.

I use the Kroger brand from a grocery store around here called Food4Less.... it is soo good... much better then Ragu...

ok, meatballs are done and I have thrown them with the sauce and some sauteed onions into the crock-pot so it can ruminate together for a few hours

today for the meatballs, I threw in some chopped onion, some basil, some oregano, some paprika, some garlic powder, some parsley, some thyme, some marjoram and salt and pepper... oh and some bread crumbs, one egg and a dash of Worcestershire Sauce ...

then I made them into about 1 tablespoon size meatballs and baked them in the oven for bout 15 minutes....

[KarenCee 3]

Mmmmm....sesame orange chicken! Do you have a recipe Carla?

[trailmix 77]

Tonight we have veggie burgers, home fries andddd a salad!

Hubby is working again tonight *sigh* so it's just me and our daughter and she's not a big eater. Chicken strips and maybe some fries. I'd rather be cooking for the three of us.

[Marilyn. 340]

the sgetti and meatballs was good but there was only enough for hubby and me for dinner and some for his lunch.. no leftovers for me ...

no clue what to make tonight ... another one of hubby's late nights...

[trailmix 77]

What is with all these Husbands working until all hours of the night! Just not right. I know sometimes that's just the way it is, but it's too bad that it is.

*sigh* I agree. I'm grateful Joel has a job but come on... His boss knows our situation with our daughter and she still refuses to give him daytime hours. Not to mention that we rarely see each other anymore. Boss doesn't have a family nor a SO. Not that I think that has any bearing on how she schedules Joel.
