What's For Dinner?

[~Nini~ 2]

Hubby was extremely skeptical of the homemade green bean casserole, but I won him over. I fear there's a subscription in my future...

The Schwann's guy was by today, and James bought some frozen cheese enchiladas, so that's what we're having.

dinner last night was good.. i baked the marinated chicken and then I did up a box of Parmesan rice-a-roni and some corn.. mm it as good.. the rice was nice and creamy, never had rice like that before...

hubby didn't have a good experience with it though because I had put his food on a plate in the fridge for when he got home... when he came to bed he asked me if that was supposed to be potato salad or something... ..lol he says he probably didn't eat it up enough.... he ended up throwing most of the rice in the garbage

not sure what dinner is going to be tonight.. maybe scrambled eggs or maybe hot dogs...

tonight I decided on mac and cheese with wienies and I boiled an extra hotdog to put in hubby's lunch, I am sure he is tired of sandwiches already

I dumped half my mac and cheese on myself and the couch.. still not sure how that happened.. ...lol

Oh Marilyn, you're so funny!

Last night we had a greek salad, a hot sandwich loaf and butternut squash soup. I'm going to make a turkey meatloaf tonight I think.

I dont know if this is the rice a roni you had Marilyn? I also tried this last week and I thought it was really good. Rice a roni, to me, tends to be salty and not all that great, but this new stuff is really good - plus no preservatives or artificial flavours

I just found this recipe in the newspaper for Baked Pumpkin Brulee French Toast - I really like pumpkin so I am going to try this as soon as I get the ingredients!

doncha hate it when that happens?

Tonight I sauteed asparagus, broccoli and meatballs in some garlic grapeseed oil, with a can of diced tomatoes over rotinni pasta. It was yummy the meatballs were frozen kind from Schwann's. They're actually really good. A bit on the expensive side though.

Tonight was grilled tilapia with mango salsa I made, steamed baby veggies, rice noodles.

I made a post-election feel good supper for hubby complete with pork, mashed potatoes (I'm not ashamed to say they came out of a box), peas and gravy. Mmmmmmmm

I had a bacon cheeseburger today.. I haven't had one in ages.... it was good but it didn't have enough bacon, I couldn't taste it at all...
