What's For Dinner?

Okies, rare contribution. My beloved mamma in law (who is actually a lovely woman and dear friend) bought us some "fake chorizo" from Safeway. It's vegan, and I had almost thrown it away thinking it would taste like #######; but oh surprise, it is the yums. So, if y'all like spicy sausages [insert Mexican sarcasm here] but don't like meat, go get some of these babies. Good as grilled sausage; even better when crumbled and added to pizza or pasta sauce.

That's funny. If you can't get the real stuff, why bother.

hmmm not sure exactly what dinner is going to be yet.. I am leaning towards italian chicken..

just throw some chicken (breast, thigh etc) and onion in a baking dish and then mix together some tomato sauce, italian dressing and oregano and throw that over the chicken, you can add zucchini if you want too and then you bake that in the oven till chicken is cooked and then you serve it over pasta.. oh and you can add Parmesan cheese to the chicken stuff after it is baked..

Hubby is working another 11a - 7p shift at the park. *sigh* He says just cook for me and Anna. She wanted tuna, I'm making a small green been casserole and maybe have some leftover steak. I'm really hoping this is the last of these weird schedules.

we ended up having pork tenderloin sandwiches.. take some pork tenderloin and rub them with spices.. they were good but I added too much salt in the rub

Today is one year since my husband arrived. I baked a pumkin cake w/ cream chese icing last night. (Yummy, not too sweet, not too moist...I'll post recipe too.) I'll 'decorate' it today, but here's a pic.

1 1/2 cups oil

3 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 cup milk

1 can pumpkin

Combine sugar, oil & eggs; beat well. Sift dry ingredients and add to first mixture, continue mixing. Add milk, nuts and pumkin mixing well. Bake at 300 for one our in 4-9" pans.

Tonight we are going to Superior Grill on St Charles Ave. Awesome Mexican food!!

It will be a diet killer but I will put in extra time at the gym next week.

dinner tonight is anybody's guess..

we will probably go out to eat because that is what we usually do on Fridays but I really should make something and save us the money... but I really don't feel like making anything today...

Friday nights are relax and unwind nights, no cooking, cleaning, bathing . Last week we ordered breakfast for dinner at our local diner.
