What's For Dinner?

[Cassie 8]

One, I am jealous that the Georgia gang all got together....I wish some Canuckians lived closer to me.

We haven't had supper yet, cause we had a late lunch: 24 hour marinated chicken breasts covered in panko bread crumbs and baked, creamed corn, and skillet poatoes. Yum!

I'm jealous too ... not only that the GA gang got to enjoy each other's company, but also that they got to eat yummy Southern cooking!!! Of course, if hubby gets his way, we will end up back in GA in a year or two ....

Just got back from CT (mom threw me a baby shower this weekend). Before we left tonight, we had pizza. I really do adore CT pizza (first pizza in the U.S. was in New Haven). Tonight we had 2 kinds: bacon, mushroom, fresh tomato and onion ... and white clam pizza. I was in HEAVEN!!!

This week's menu will feature wedding shower leftovers: lunchmeat for hubby, various cheeses, an artichoke heart appy, chicken salad, potato salad, macaroni salad with shrimp and crab, raw veggies, and tres leches cake (my all time favorite, have only had a few times since leaving CA, and my mom found a bakery to make one!).

I made sgetti for dinner/lunch today but instead of ground beef I used sausage .. it was yummy

We are on our way to a prenatal class so we will stop at Quizno's for dinner. I had actually never had Quizno's until last year, now I really like the place!

[Marilyn. 340]

mmm quiznos... once you have had quiznos it is hard to go back to Subway...

ah, chicken parmigiana tonight with pasta and mixed vegetables:-). Oh, and I have whole wheat and honey bread in the breadmaker, too:-)

It is weird here - the temperature is unseasonally cold - freeze warnings out for last night, tonight and tomorrow - it is 45 degrees right now - and we are in the middle of a thunderstorm with teaming rain. This was definitely NOT in the forecast!

Oh, and any other Canucks in the area are more than welcome to join us when we meet. We were discussing having a local get together with other Canadians in the area last year and we renewed that discussion on Saturday night. There are actually a good number of us here! Then, we can expand out and welcome non-Canadian VJers as well - I have met some of those here too:-).

well, I was going to have leftover sgetti for din din tonight and was going to give hubby some canned chicken gumbo soup or canned clam chowder soup and make him some biscuits to go with it but he didn't want it and I even offered him the sgetti and he didn't want that either so we ordered in from the place down the street he is having the chicken terakyi combo and I am having the cheeseburger combo...

I just put a small pork roast in the slow cooker with some orange juice/soy sauce I made up. Asparagus and rice will accompany it!

last night I made my version of Alice Springs Chicken from the Outback...

*Grilled chicken breast and bacon smothered in mushrooms, melted Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses, with honey mustard sauce*

... I have so many onions to use up...so sauteed onions, mushrooms, and bacon together...added a little beef stock to thicken it up.. grilled chicken breasts...put them in a dish topped with the onion, mushroom, bacon mixture..then topped that with cheese (also trying to use that up), baked in the oven until cheese was melted and bubbly... made some asparagus and a salad to go with it... mmmmmm...

my kitchen is now about 98% packed up... no plans to make dinner tonight... not sure if we will have anything..had a late lunch.. tomorrow we have my husbands sons and brother coming to help pack up our U-Pack so we will get pizza tomorrow...then we hit the road Thursday morning...exciting and scarey at the same time... have no idea what we will be eating on the road..we dont eat alot of fast food..so hoping to stick with places like Subway...we lose our computer tomorrow afternoon.. so will see you guys back online next week!

Well, we are in St Louis and we had Hardees! We get to the hotel and I am starving, so we find this nice menu and delivery service in the drawer and I call them and they say it will take about an hour and a half for delivery - so we drive up the street and grab a sandwich - which was ok.
