What's For Dinner?

We're having a beef roast that I've had sitting in the crock pot since 9am. It'll be really tender. Also, mashed potatoes, gravy, pinto beans, rolls and corn bread. I can't wait lol.

Good choice. I was going to make roast today, even turned on the oven, then looked in the freezer, there is no roast in there, i'm was sure I bought one - guess I changed my mind.

So anyway, tonight, steak, salad, potatoes.

Tonight is Pita Pizza's again. I made them the other night and Mel and Max loved them.

I made them super healthy too. The alternative bagel makes great pitas- 110 cals and 8 grams of fiber. Hormel turkey pepperoni (I like the vegan pepperoni too but the one store I went to didn't have any) Lots of veggies- onions, green and red peppers, mushrooms. And I found kraft fat free shredded mozza cheese!! Woo Hoo!!

And a bag of light ceasar salad to go with them.

Miss Stacey, we are sharing a similar menu tonight!

I'm starting with a frozen Freschetta Four Cheese pizza then added more spices, more tomato sauce, mushrooms, hot banana pepper rings, artichokes, spinach and more cheese. It's in the oven baking now. And, we will have a Caesar salad to go with it as well- and iced tea (a staple here in the South although I don't make it sweet:-)). Oh, and fresh strawberries for dessert.

Mary, your roast sounds wonderful btw - if I didn't have the pizza already on the go I would drive to your place - I could make it in half an hour:-).

we had egg mcmuffins for lunch today.. they turned out pretty good...

tonight I am going to marinate some chicken drums and then barbeque them and then maybe do some 2 potato packets...

Well, my husband darted in and darted back out again so I never had to make dinner. (He's gone to fill in for a co-worker on their bowling team.) Good thing, too, because I've been working on fixing the computer all day and hadn't had a chance to make anything. I had a corned beef sandwich.

Tomorrow my husband has a golf tournament and banquet so I won't have to cook then, either. And then Friday we're going to Ruth's Chris Steak House. My flight out on Saturday morning is at 6:00am, so we've booked a room at the airport and my husband is taking me to dinner for my Mother's Day prezzie.

I make egg mcmuffins too! lol

I have an easy peasy recipe for eggs benedict, too, if anyone's interested.

I just fry an egg, fry up some sausage, toast those thingies and then put the egg and sausage on the thingie and then put some cheese on it and I like to eat mine with some ketchup on it... yum....

I've done it with sausage, peameal, sliced ham, and "Canadian bacon". You know..... those round rings of ham that Americans call Canadian bacon for some reason.

mmmm I love roasts!

Had left over Pork Roast that was made in the Slow Cooker with dried apricots and apple juice (just a smidge). It was really tasty! Side of salad with the meat.....we're trying to ease up on the eating after gorging during our wedding...he he he

mmm dinner was good.. the chicken was really yummy

i marinated the chicken in a mixture of mustard, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, garlic and ketchup....

for dessert I took some flour tortillas and then spread them lightly with peanut butter and then on half I put thinly sliced bananas and chocolate chips and then I folded them over and baked them in the oven until the chocolate chips were melted... once done brush them with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar... mmm, yum yum

i usually add marshmallows too but i didn't have any and they also can be done on the grill....

That's what I had tonight but no potatoes or salad, only steak and a big bowl of sliced cucumbers.

The roast last night was great. It just melted in your mouth!

Anyways, I was thinking of grilling some chicken this weekend. I haven't used a grill in awhile, but been craving grilled chicken lol. Anyways, does anyone have a good recipe for a merinade for chicken? I got a lot of fussy eaters in the house and was looking for a merinade that wasn't too strong. Nothing too salty, sweet or sour. Just something light. I know none of them would go for a lemon, orange, or any kind of fruity chicken. Any suggestions would be great.

That sounds really good. I'll have to try that sometime.

A nice light marinade I use sometimes is olive oil, thyme, white wine, and salt and pepper. If you don't have any white wine, just use a squeeze of lemon or orange. You want the flavour of the thyme more than you do anything else. Rosemary (or a combination of thyme and rosemary) would also be good. Another alternative is to use those Mrs Dash seasonings.

I've actually marinaded Chicken with Italian salad dressing....just a little will go a long way...surprisingly yummy and oh so tender....
