Whats for Dinner?

Or wait, is it too early to ask? LOL - Im always looking for new things to make.

I work from home, so right now its shower/get dressed and take the baby out for a walk...but when I get back:

Chicken cutlets with sauteed garlic-broccoli-pasta. DH requested my chocolate covered rice crispy snacks, so that's what he'll get. 

Normally I make ginormous meals, but tonight I'm cheating. I'm exhausted.

What are you having/making?

Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker ...here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)

Re: Whats for Dinner?

  • Tonight we're having a pork roast w/ carrots, potatoes and sauerkraut. Yum! FI made it last night in the crockpot so we'll just have to heat it up tonight.
  • This is what I made last night, it's super fast and I pretty much always have all ingredients on hand:

    Crumbled Parmesan Chicken

    Preheat oven to 400

    3TB Dijon Mustard, 2TB white wine or water, 1 english muffin or 1/2 cup Panko, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 2 TB butter, salt and pepper, 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

    Salt and pepper chicken breasts.

    Mix dijon mustard and wine in one dish.

    Mix english muffin (whizzed in food processor) or Panko with parmesan cheese in another dish.  Melt the butter and drizzle over the mixture, combine well with a fork.

    Dredge chicken breasts liberally in the dijon mustard mix and then in the bread crumb/parmesan mix.

    Bake in greased baking dish for 25-35 minutes, depending on thickness of breasts.

     

    Tonight is turkey tacos, I made chili on Sunday (buffalo with bacon and black beans) and have fixin's to use up.

  • I'm thinking pasta with spicy sausage and penne sauce.

  • I usually don't think about this until around 5.

    I didn't cook last night because I spent the whole weekend cooking for the SB. I think tonight will be cauliflower soup.

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • BF has practice tonight so I'm thinking of cheating and treating myself to a nice solo Italian dinner. Hopefully i'll have leftovers for BF....if not he can eat the leftover pizza we have. Wink
    I wouldn't change a thing...it's all led me to you.
  • probably grilled cheese & tomato soup. It's pantry week for us, so by Friday we'll be eating canned beans and peanut butter sandwiches.

  • I haven't thought too far ahead...all I know is that yesterday through tomorrow I can make whatever I damn well please with no one to complain about it!  FI is traveling and DS is working, so I'm on my own!  YAY!  They are some picky eaters.

    I will probably do some type of pasta, tomato sauce and ricotta cheese because no one in the household likes any of that.

  • Morty, no one in your house likes pasta with tomato sauce and ricotta?!?  I weep for you.

    Tonight will probably be the leftover italian chicken sticks I made for the superbowl.  I have a little less than half the recipe left and just need to bread and bake them.  If that's not enough food, we'll probably have pasta as well. 

  • Morty, no one in your house likes pasta with tomato sauce and ricotta?!?  I weep for you.

    Nope.  DS claims that since he went to Italy last summer that he now likes pasta w/tomato sauce, but I have yet to see him eat it when I make it. He always has a reason for not eating it.  So I've stopped trying.  FI actually ate some pasta last week...no sauce, just sauted veggies on top (it was at Olive Garden).  So, I am going to try to replicate that!

    All that is kinda like sexy talk! LOL. That looks/sounds really good. :)

    Could you do pasta with garlic and oil?  Or oil, pasta water, and parmesan?
