What's For Dinner - Part Deux

[Udella&Wiz 325]

Homemade spaghetti sauce last night along with garlic bread.

Using the leftover sauce tonight to make lasagna - hmm, maybe well have garlic bread?

I had the most delicious dinner last night... met some friends in the city at the Race Street Cafe.... had a gardenburger on a wheat pita, it was the best garden burger I ever had! Came with these crispy fries and garlic mayo dipping sauce, mmm... Tonight I think I'll make tacoc

I am making salsa chicken.. I am using chicken thighs.. just throw them in the crock pot along with your favourite salsa and let it cook.. you could also do this in the oven

or you could use chicken breast and add some corn and beans and make a filling for tacos etc...

Does anyone have ideas what to do with fresh basil? My friend gave me a large tupperware of basil from his garden, but I've never cooked with fresh basil

[Marilyn. 340]

you just use it wherever you would use dried basil but you just need to add it during the end of the cooking time..

here are some ideas..

I wasn't very hungry when I got off work today, so I just heated up this appetizer I bought earlier called "Edamame Shumai." Basically they are asian dumplings with edamame in the middle which you dip in soy sauce. They were actually really good

I had the last of my stuffed chicken from the other night.

I made pork chops smothered with sauerkraut and then baked in the oven. I was going to do stir-fried yellow squash, onions and peppers and mashed potatoes to go along with them, but there was a little - ok, a big - kerfluffle on VJ that needed a moderator and I ran out of time. So, I did instant mashed potatoes with cheese and sliced tomatoes to go with the pork chops and sauerkraut instead. We had dark chocolate covered frozen strawberry fruit bars (from Aldi's) for dessert - yum!

Darn VJ for ruining your dinner menu

Hubby and I had ceasar salad and pasta with a meat, zucchini and mushroom sauce. Declan, who normally is a good eater, decided all he wanted was cheese and milk for dinner.

Last night we had turkey burgers and salad. Tonight, perhaps chicken. I don't know how I"ll make it though. Time to sift through some recipes!

Ohmygosh, I wish he was my friend too! I use fresh basil all the time. One of my favourite recipes is to chop about a cup of it, along with a cup of chopped fresh Italian parsley, cup of sliced mushrooms, some radicchio, and some romaine. (It sounds like a lot but, trust me.... it's not.) Then you shave lots and lots of fresh parmesan reggiano into it. Then you make a balsamic dressing and mix that in. OMG, heaven.

Last night we had leftovers. Tonight I am thinking maybe spaghetti.
