What's For Dinner?

[Autumnchik 6]

If you ever get your butt up here to visit Stace, I will fix you the same menu!!!

If you ever get your butt down here- we'll get you good and liquored and boil some crabs or crawfish!! And then go make asses of ourselves on Bourbon Street!! Woo Hoo!!

Give me a few more months to pop this kid out and then I'm there LOL

Okay. I think I'm going to make lamb chops with a mint gremolata on a bed of grains with roasted carrots and green beans. And chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert. And mojitos for an apéritif. Yikes. I guess I'd better get started.

Wow, you are impressive ... I need to make sure hubby NEVER reads this thread and expects cooking like this!!! LOL

Was AWESOME. I used coconut rum for the mojitos and they were perfection. (All natural ingredients... no premix stuff. Chose mojitos because it pairs well with the mint and lemon I used to prepare the lamb.) Instead of green beans we had peas, because they go perfectly with lamb. I sprinkled some of the gremolata on the peas and they were perfect also. Candles. Wine. Just about to log off and eat chocolate dipped strawberries now. *sigh* Had a wonderful night.

That sounds really good crickey, i'm glad you had such a nice time

I ended up making twice baked potatoes, steak, salad and beans. Steak is my Husband's favorite - so there you go. We were going to go out for dinner tonight but I think we may wait and just go out to eat tomorrow since we are going to the Mall shopping anyway.

Tonight it will be something easy, not sure what yet, how about some grilled cheese!

Your steak dinner sounds like it was yummy too. Tonight we're having Carla's Sausage Zucchini Bake. I think. Grilled cheese is awesome anytime! I have to laugh, though.... every time I think of grilled cheese I think of my daughter. She loves it too. When we were planning a Christmas family reunion a few years ago (for our relatives from England, Ontario, Alberta, and BC), one of the places we considered was a huge private villa complete with staff, including 24 hour butler service. We ended up here, but that's besides the point. Anyway, my daughter said if we went there she was going to call the butler and order grilled cheese sandwiches at 3 o'clock in the morning.... just because she could. She was joking, of course. At least.... I think she was. lol

we are either going to have hotdogs tonight or scrambled eggs, with sausage and hashbrowns.... I am rooting for the eggs...

Home made chicken noodle soup, salad and crusty bread:-). I love getting the roast chickens from Kroeger - have roast chicken for two nights, some sandwiches for lunch and then make soup with the remainders of the carcass. Yum!

Yum. Home made soup. Unfortunately, we do not have a Kroeger's... thought it does sound good. I've tried the roasted chicken at the various stores here, but they're substandard so I just make my own.

Tonight we had home-made french fries, onion rings, chicken strips (with home-made dipping sauces), and salad. I had initially intended not to put too much effort into dinner but... oh well. I'm a sucker for good food rather than quick food.

we had the scrambled eggs.. yum!

I had take-out Mongolian Beef with steamed brown rice. Yummy!

Did I miss Carla's Sausage Bake recipe somewheres? I've looked...I guess I could have searched a bit more, but being the lazy girl I am today I just didn't apply myself too much.

[Marilyn. 340]

it is in here somewhere... I found it earlier and copied it...

Zuchinni Sausage Squares

1 pound (or less if I have it) pork sausage, breaking up like you would for hamburger. (I use a spicy sausage)

Drain and wipe out pan.

Fry up in a little olive oil (or whatever the heck you have!) :

3 medium sized zuchinni (or more if you'd like) sliced thin (like for scalloped potatoes)

1 small onion cut up

1/2 tsp. basil

1/2 tsp. oregeno

salt and pepper to taste

Prepare 9x13 inch pan. Roll out one can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, pinching together seams. Line the pan, and up sides a little. Spread a tablespoon of Djon (I've used regular mustard) on top of the crescents in pan.

Pull zuchinni mixture on top of crescents. Scatter cooked sausage on top of zuchinni mixture. Shake 1 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over top. (I use Sharp Cheddar).

Pour 3 beaten eggs over top.

Bake in 350 degree oven for about 18-20 min.

Cut in large, or small squares and enjoy!

I'm on strike today so my husband is going to go to the BBQ guy and bring back chicken and collards.
