What's for dinner?
I need inspiration for easy meals - I'm in a food rut. Usually on Sunday I would do a stew or something slow cooked, but I'm at an open house today. Help. 
Re: What's for dinner?
We're actually going out tonight for Vday dinner - the 3 - of us but I'm cooking stuff for the week right now.
I've got eggplant in the crockpot - sliced eggplant layered with sauce and cheese. I'm making vodka sauce for Tuesday night with spinach tortollini.
This recipe is AMAZING http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/02/baked-potato-soup.html.
not sure if you'll have time for a crock pot thing, but we're having this http://www.rd.com/food/slow-cooker-spicy-beans-with-turkey-sausage-recipe/
really good and really easy... basically just rinse a few cans of beans and open a jar of salsa and throw it in the crock pot for 3-4 hours ( or all day, if you're not gonna be home...) comes out like a really good chili type thing.
I will definitely make this when I'm not BFing anymore - sounds yummy! Anna doesn't like beans. LOL
chicken enchiladas for tonight. I'm planning on making these meals during the week..
chicken with diced tomatoes and peppers over rice
turkey sausage, spinach and white beans over pasta
braised short ribs over parpadelle
chicken stirfry
lasagna soup
chili
roasted veggie pasta bake
Look up real simple turkey empanadas recipes. I made them last week and they were delicious! It calls for raisins and olives which aren't my favorite, so I switched it up and prepared it with sliced onion and peppers
MH is making shrimp scampi tonight.
Yum, thanks!
We had a big lunch at Rudy's so no dinner for us.
But, this morning I made this for dinner on Tuesday - Lightened Up Eggplant Parmigiana
Tomorrow we're having fish so that doesn't help you
If you need any inspiration you know where to look

Coming in very late but today I made chicken brushed with an asian-inspired marinade, yellow rice, peas and corn, and a lasagna--I know, such a mish-mosh!
Monday - Pasta ala Puttanesca
Tuesday - Pernil al Forno, crispy potato wedges and broccoli and Cuban arroz con leche for dessert
Wednesday - Left overs or on-your-own meals
Thursday - Something in the crockpot or pressure cooker. Maybe a lentil soup?
Friday - Dinner out or take out
