What's For Dinner?

[Marilyn. 340]

I am thinking chili dogs for tonight.. we have been eating a lot of those lately.. at least once a week.. I found a really good canned chili.. Hormel Chunky chili... yum..

We have pretty much been eating at home lately - which is a good thing, however we did stop at steak and shake last night after looking at a house and I had their grilled chicken salad - which I quite like.

Other than that it has been pretty much meat and potatoes!

Did make a pseudo philly cheese steak the other night (used bread as we didn't have buns) - it was rather good!

darn hubby had to call and tell me he was close to our favourite Chinese place again (the one that isn't that close to where we live) and asked if I wanted some and I said, "if you want some get it" and he is like, "well do you want some?" and i said, "I will eat it if it is here" and he is like, "I asked if you wanted some" and i was like, "of course I want some"

That's too funny Marilyn! Sounds like an Abbot and Costello skit!

Let me see...we eat out only about once a week if that, and usually it's lunch. I love cooking so that's no problem for me. Monday night we had tortellini with Alfredo sauce and garlic bread. Last night we had chicken with a mandarin orange sauce and vegetable fried rice. I think tonight it's time for zuchinni sausage squares or quiche, and a salad.

that is basically how most of our conversations go when we are talking about what to eat

Fried Zucchini

3 Cups shredded Unpeeled Zucchini

1/2 Cups shredded cheddar cheese

Tonight will probably be something really simple- I'm thinking tuna sandwiches.

[Marilyn. 340]

I am thinking chili dogs... unless I gather up the energy and desire to make something else...

I will be having hubby's leftover Chinese food for lunch today...

Which reminds me - we had tuna sandwiches for lunch the other day. My Husband had been to the store and picked up 2 cans of starfish tuna in water.

First thing I noticed was that the tuna was shredded rather than in small pieces giving it kind of a yukky texture. Second thing - I had to use 2 cans for 2 sandwiches. They look just a tad smaller than a standard can of Tuna I would buy in Canada - but, in checking the calories I noticed there are only 40 in a can vs 120 in a can of Tuna in Canada.

So unless they are using really lean tuna, I think we can safely say the contents are much less.

Bit of Tuna trivia there for you

Did you usually buy Tuna in Canada that was packed in oil? That might make the difference between the calories. I love making tuna salad sandwiches. Like chicken salad, I'm always looking for new things to put in my tuna for a sandwich? What do you guys put in your tuna?

Ooops, edited to add what I usually put in...since I asked, I should probably go first! I usually put in mayo...NOT miracle whip...MAYO. haha Then I put some pickle relish in it, maybe some shredded cheese, very finely diced celery. I used to make toasted tuna cups, they were delicious. Had the same ingredients, but I'd cut the slices off of whole wheat bread, and put them in a muffin cup, the inside buttered, mound my tuna salad in there, and put in the oven until toasty. Mmmmmmmmmmm

I usually mix 2 or 3 cans because I do find the cans smaller here.

I mix in celery, chopped pickles, pimentos, onions, TonyC's creole seasoning, Paul Prudhommes seafood blend, lots of pepper and light mayo.
