What's for dinner
Re: What's for dinner
Fajitas, no tortillas, served over brown rice.
We had roast chicken and salad last night. it's so easy and so good, and it only needs about an hour or so to cook with minimal prep.

I seriously have been thinking about these since I made them. I ate the leftovers during the Super Bowl, and I still want to make them again ASAP.
I should mention I realized I read the ressypee wrong when I made it and put in 1/2 cup of Buffalo sauce instead of 1/3. I'm guessing that's why it was a bit hot for me to handle.

I think I'm having dinner out tonight with MIL, but last night we did these chicken, spinach and asiago sausages that I get at Sam's and a mixed green salad. I'll also be having that for lunch today.
I saw this today - http://www.laaloosh.com/2012/02/07/bacon-ranch-slow-cooker-chicken-recipe/ and I want to try it soon.

How do you roast said chicken? Is this chicken breast or a whole chicken? Or miscellaneous chicken parts? This sounds tasty.
Tonight we're having chicken and broccolini. Maybe some brown rice.
Last night we had turkey tacos, and tomorrow night it's terriyaki pork tenderloin and carrots.
I'll be eating a PB&J with a side of brocolli and blackberries, possibly a cutie while I drive between jobs. Not helpful to you, I know.
Here are some of my go-to recipes.

Buffalo chicken enchiladas
I think tonight I'm going to be lazy and Mr M is making omelets with mushrooms, broccoli, peppers and onions.
Lately we've been having a lot of fajitas (peppers, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, squash) with scrambled eggs.
Also mashed potatoes with the fajita mix minus the squash, plus cheese. I still need to find a good side for that one.
Or black beans, chunked roasted sweet potato and plantains over rice. With a fried egg, salsa and ripe avocado (when I can find a decent one).
One thing I like making when I'm in a rut is crepes. That always gets my creativity flowing.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
I'm making breakfast for dinner tonight. Eggs and sausage, and an as yet undetermined vegetable.
Last night we did baked potatoes and steamed broccoli, and Brett made himself a steak too.
Boooooo-ring.

We had this last night and it was simple and actually pretty tasty. I added two serrano peppers as well.

Tonight is probably just salad and leftovers.

Tim's having leftover pot roast (I decided last night I am NOT a pot roast fan. Everything just ends up tasting the same!). I'll probably make some whole grain pasta and sauce. And a glass of wine. These past 3 weeks have been a bear at work.
We're making the enchiladas tomorrow! Has anyone else tried the Bubble Up Enchiladas on Pinterest? They're really good.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
Tonight leftovers from an Italian restaurant down the street. They've been in our freezer too long and we need the containers because we're cooking at home more often to save money.
Tomorrow will be salmon packets on the grill so long as I can manage to get a lemon.
Friday no idea yet, but I really want something like enchiladas or mexican "lasagna." We don't have the ingredients for that so I'm sure it'll be our basic grilled/baked meat (rotaion of chicken, pork, steak, and salmon) and some sides.
I made this for dinner last night and was extremely surprised how good it was.
Chicken with Peanut Curry Sauce
I made Italian Wedding soup last night. It's one of our favorites and it's soooo quick and easy, especially if you have a Trader Joe's nearby. And it's quite healthy, the TJ's turkey meatballs are very lowfat.
INGREDIENTS
2 lbs (2 packages) TJs turkey meatballs
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion chopped
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 cup diced baby carrots
6 cups chicken broth
4 cups water
1 lb roughly chopped or ripped up greens (I use the TJs package of Southern Greens or Swiss chard and spinach)
1/2 package short noodles (I use whole wheat rotelli)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add onions, garlic, and carrots. Cook for 5 minutes.
2. Add chicken broth, water, and meatballs. Bring mixture to a boil. Add noodles. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until noodles are almost done.
3. Add greens and simmer for 5 minutes longer.
4. Ladle into soup bowls. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese.

I hate pot roast, too.
I've never had an egg on a burger before. I make those black bean burgers all the time so I may need to try this! Thanks!
Mod, Fitty has been posting all kinds of delicious looking veg and vegan recipes on Pinterest. I want to eat them all.

Essbee, I love breakfast for dinner.
The idea of an egg on a burger intrigues me greatly.
I've been so busy lately, I am so lazy when I get home. The other day I just wanted to make some lipton chicken noodle soup, but wanted protein in there too. So when it was just about done simmering on the stove, I cracked a couple of eggs in there and whisked them around. It was delicious and I am now reminded that I want to do that again.
Thanks Moo. I have not played on Pinterest in a while, this will inspire me to get back there. I am over the moon that Mr. Mod has finally agreed to this eating style. It's much easier for me to lose weight this way and I don't like meat that much anyway.

Ooooh I need to do this! I LOVE Lipton chicken noodle soup but the protein part gets me. Good call, Jens!
Eggs and peanut butter, man. I'd be lost without them.

YES. They are my life sustenance.
I made a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich on my George Foreman yesterday. WOWZA.
Thanks for all the healthier recipes, guys. All the beer and cheese I've been consuming since moving to Wisconsin is starting to catch up with me, so I'm back to eating better this week. I have to stop living like I'm on vacation.
Christin, since you are WeWa master and I loved your enchiladas at the shore, would you mind posting some of your other favorites?
