What's For Dinner?

[trailmix 77]

We did end up having stew - Husband had potatoes on the side and I had rice (as there were very few potatoes in the stew)!

I had hot dogs

Hot dogs are nummy. But I try not to think of what my friend, Al, always said they're made of.... lips and #######.

Our lamb turned out nummy too! In fact, I have enough left over for my dinner this evening. Hubby is working late so he will just have soup or a smoothie or something. So I have the night off!

My #######-a-leekie pie was wonderful. I just make the soup recipe, add carrots as well. Lots of dill...mmmm Then I thickened it and topped it with a puff pastry top. I have NO idea what I'm making tonight. Maybe this should be a leftover night. I have jambalya left over, some gnocci, some #######-a-leekie , maybe some homemade chive and cheddar cornbread with it?

I also think that Crock-Pot's rule! Especially for things you can put together in the morning and come home to at night. I probably don't use it like I should now that I'm not working at all, and have all day to cook. That pork recipe looks very good though Marilyn!

I LOVE hotdogs. I don't care what's in them either!

Why is 'meat' in parenthesis !?

We got some veggie burgers, not a big veggie burger fan but it's a different kind - so might try those, or not. We are all but out of vegetables, we have no potatoes, I need ingredients!

Have no car during the day so can't go to the store. hmmmm

lol.. cause it looks like a steak with the snot pounded out of it! I just have never seen meat like that.. we were at the store buying el cheapo "discounted meat" (the ones that are a day shy of expiring) last night and hubby brought over this cut that I didn't recognize.. i asked him what we'd do with it and he told me that you make country fried steak.

THINK AM GOIN TO MAKE A PORTE CHINOISE ( THINK ITS CALLD SHEPARDS PIE IN ENGLISH ) TONIGHT , AND SOME HOMEMADE BREAD :p

[KarenCee 3]

Ground beef vegetable soup and cornbread muffins. Been pondering on this all day and with it being so friggin cold outside (not to mention my honey is working tonight) this sounds perfect. It's also good the next day.

[Marilyn. 340]

correction....

hubby is going to have hot dogs and I am going to have something else.... maybe a can of soup and a grilled cheese sandwich.....

[panamania79 2]

Not sure yet...I have bonesless pork ribs in the freezer, some boneless chuck roast, chicken strips, and hamburger meat. Oh wait, I do have an idea....Cheeseburger Mac, kinda like the Hamburger Helper stuff but homemade. Ground beef, a box of mac n cheese, and a can of cream of mushroom. Yummy! Of course I usually add a bit of minced garlic to mine.

What a great idea! I'm always trying to think of new things to cook for my kids.This sounds like something they will love.

Sometimes I know what I'm having for dinner, sometimes I have to wrack my brain. Tonight I know we are having lamb shank with garlic mashed potatoes and peas. What's everyone else having?

Thai peanut chicken,basmati rice,and broccoli casserole.

I think this is the one....

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 pound cubed beef stew meat

* 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed golden mushroom soup (I used just plain old cream of mushroom soup)

* 1/2 cup chopped onion

* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

* 1/4 cup water

* 1 or 2 tsps of soy sauce (this wasn't in the recipe but I added it)

* 1/2 to 1 garlic clove, chopped (this also wasn't in the recipe but I added it)

* 4 ounces cream cheese

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a slow cooker, combine the meat, soup, onion, Worcestershire sauce and water.

2. Cook on Low setting for 8 hours, or on High setting for about 5 hours. Stir in cream cheese just before serving. It might be kind of runny but once you add the cream cheese it thickens up a bit ...

*you might want to double the recipe YUM!!! YUM!!!!

I believe she also mentioned that she browned the beef a bit first.

Yup, that's the one. I used regular cream of mushroom soup too. Didn't have soy sauce, but I added a bit extra of Worcestershire sauce.

Oh yeah and I added sliced mushrooms too. I am a huge mushroom fan

Tonight's dinner was: salt and vinegar chips for hubby and chicken noodle soup for me (hubby "cooked" According to the doctor, I have a virus (bizarre only symptom is extreme dizziness) ... so I have been in bed all day.

I am thinking about making pizza tonight but we will see what I feel like later ....

Ew. That tends to make you pretty nauseous, doesn't it? Hope you're feeling better soon. Stick to the chicken soup. It's good for you.

I have no clue what I'm making tonight. I may pick up a pizza. J and I are leaving early in the morning for our drive down to Ft Lauderdale to pick up my sister and BIL from their ship. Then we're staying a few days in Delray Beach before heading back home. Which means he'll be working late to tie up any loose ends at work so the place doesn't fall apart while he's gone. Which means I have no idea when he'll be home. If he comes home late he doesn't like anything heavy, so I'm not about to make something he's not going to eat. Plus I don't want a big mess to clean up because I've got to pack and clean the house so it's nice when we come back and I don't want to stay up late because we have to get up early and we have a bit of a drive so I need to put a small cooler together and..... I don't think the non-cooking spouses have any idea of the thought process which goes into thinking out and preparing meals.

ANYHooooo..... they have these excellent new frozen pizzas (can't recall the name of them) which come on a tray which goes straight in the oven..... and the pizza's already sliced. The tray makes the pie all nice and crispy but soft.... just like a real pizza. Yummy in my tummy.
