What's For Dinner?

[Autumnchik 6]

We had a Spanish rice mix and I added diced tomatoes with green chiles, black beans, corn and ground beef to it. Not bad at all

trailmix, my mouth is watering...please let me know how that turns out. I cut up and process my own pumpkin, so I have baggies of it in the freezer. I always make pumpkin loaves, or pumpkin chocolate chip muffins which are a hit, but it's nice to get new pumpkin recipes to try out. That one sounds divine!

I think yesterday I posted that I was going to make a turkey meatloaf, but in the late afternoon, Gene and I were watching a BBQ show on the travel channel. OMG, I was drooling. So, when it was over, we went out for BBQ at Bandana's a local BBQ joint. I had smoked turkey.

Tonight I'm just going to heat up some leftovers. Gene is out at a work lunch today, which means he'll overeat and won't want supper.

Will do Carla, i'm thinking of making it this weekend.

Speaking of BBQ - I ordered a BBQ and it should arrive today or tomorrow - Mike has already bought the lava rocks and a propane tank, just need to fill up the tank.

I have rarely bbq'd anything, but I have decided i'm going to become a master - or at least try to cook something different on it anyway - I love bbq's.

Last night we had a hamburger and fries - from Wendy's - and it was actually good!

We had KFC for supper tonight and I have to say.... YUCKY! Nothing on the menu was familiar and it just tasted horrible, not the same at all! Plus it has left me with a really wicked stomach ache now. ~sighs~ It's so strange to me how things taste so different here. It's funny though cause I think some things taste better, like Wendy's!

Tonight I made teriyaki chicken stir fry with rice noodles.

I just find I feel like ####### any time I eat fast food. I still get a hankering every now and then and always regret eating it.

KFC doesn't taste that great in Canada either

Tonight I'm making Chinese five-spice beef. Three hours on the stove, and the house smells like a spice rack.

tomorrow I am making tacos.. I can't wait.... well, hubby will make them, he just doesn't know it yet he is home tomorrow and I am working (just an aside but for the last few weeks whenever he has had a day off and they have been few and far between, it is always on a day when I work )

anyways for the taco meat I found this recipe for a Taco bell seasoning clone.. it tastes way better then taco bell though because first taco bell uses that fake meat and seconf they probably add a bunch of fake ####### with the spices the recipe I have is just a mixture of flour and spices , then you just cook the meat, drain and then add water and the seasoning mix and simmer and voila, you have meat for your tacos ... I think my hubby can handle that

I made chicken marsala tonight. Yummy

Well, yesterday I found this cauliflower cheese pizza crust to make. I just had to try it. I loved it! I'm counting carbs, so no bread is ideal for me. It was thin and crispy, although I'd prefer it crispier, but was a real hit.

Tonight I'm thinking that turkey meatloaf. LOL Or maybe turkey chili...I HAVE to use up that ground turkey!
