What's For Dinner?

[Krikit 1,165]

Bang goes my super low heat advice.

But boiling? I'm confused. Maybe it's because the wheatberries I cook are in the grain mix I use?

I have decided to make Chicken Mac for dinner..

Make a box of regular mac and cheese according to the directions on the box (you could also use deluxe mac and cheese) and then stir in some cooked chicken, a can of diced or stewed tomatoes (i like using the Italian diced tomatoes) and some basil and oregano.... you can eat it like that or you can throw it in a baking dish and sprinkle some grated cheese on it and bake it in the oven till cheese is melted...

you can also do this recipe with ground beef.... and I also have throw in a jar of salsa instead of the tomatoes.. that is good too...

I love Costco's whole wheat Artisan bread! We always pick up a few loaves when we go - but then we eat it all right away and we don't always get back there for a few more weeks:-(. Ah, well. Tonight is going to be one of my favourites - ratatouille - lots of good fresh vegetables simmered together in herbs and served over noodles- yum!

I can vouch for Kathryn's ratatouille...it is fabulous!

We bought a 50lb bag of wheat berries about a month ago...for $32. Now this same bag is running $49. Need to look for other ways of using wheat berries for something other than just milling. That wheatberry salad thingie sounded good...might have to try it.

Well I am sitting here reading this thread and thinking what i should be doing is cooking the steak!! So I am off to do that now!

[Cassie 8]

oh yeah, that confirms it! Carla, I am coming for dinner!!

[trailmix 77]

Carla your dinner does sound delicious!

So we had steak, artichokes (frozen, but I cooked them haha) and potato salad. All very good, the steak was HUGE - so we just shared it.

Krikit I hope you haven't eaten the salad yet as we are awaiting the film

Came here this morning looking for a picture of Krikit's Cobb Salad! Hmmmmmmm

You ladies that were supposed to show up for supper...didn't! I waited...and waited...

I truly wish we COULD meet for supper though. With all the fabulous food in this thread, we'd be stuffed!!

So glad you cooked those artichokes trailmix... You're too funny!

Here's my proof that we DID actually have the cobb salad last night!

Actually, we're going to have to have it again tonight. I made so much of it that we decided to eat only one of them between us and I put the other in the fridge. But it was really good so that's alright.

Hubby came home tonight and decided that he should take me out to dinner His parents are going to watch the baby so we can have a date!!! I don't care WHAT I eat, it is just nice to be going out.

[Cassie 8]

I made one of my hubby's faves -- marinated chicken dredged in panko bread crumbs and baked, and saffron rice, and corn

I made lots of chicken, so I am heating some up and slicing it on top of a salad -- nothing nearly as fancy and pretty as what I will now call THE Cobb Salad

Carla, you live so close (5 hours isn't all that bad!), one of these days I will show up on your doorstep!

[Marilyn. 340]

I am hoping hubby wants to go out to eat and then maybe drinks after... I am in the mood for a frozen strawberry margarita from Applebees... mmm yum
