Dinner

[lucky_bee]

BTW, that crock pot concoction I posted makes for AWESOME healthyish nachos. I spread out a layer of baked Tostitos in a fry pan on low. Spread the chicken/blackbean/corn/salsa concoction on it then sprinkle lightly with shredded cheese. Put the lid on it until I see the cheese begin to melt (heat should be on low so you don't burn the Tostitos). When melting, I just slide the whole thing from the pan to a plate then dollop away with toppings of choice: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, taco sauce, etc.

We are in heaven eating nachos that beat anything you'd get at a Mexican restaurant and I've completely controlled the ingredients.

I'm doing that this weekend. I was just mulling over quick/cheap/easy apps for a get-together I have to go to.

Cream of asparagus soup. I already had the stock, it was time to be done with it. Gotta make room in the freezer.

I need inspiration for easy and very little mess dinners for the next week. Ive got company coming into town and I'll be busy washing sheets, bedding, cleaning the house so I really dont want to make meals that are time consuming or messy.

Quesadillas
Grilled cheese/ soup
Chili/ soup in crock pot
Buffalo mac & cheese
Ravioli/ spaghetti
Pierogies
Burgers/ hot dogs
Pizza

And when you can't think of anything else, cereal to the rescue!

Nothing, had absolutely nothing for dinner. This is what happens if I don't plan dinner and leave it up to others. That's okay though, I wasn't hungry anyway. I've been sick with a terrible cold for three days and finally decided to take a day off. Dang, I take a day off and people starve. I did feed the cats, dogs and fish though.

beanie weenies, fried potatoes and onions.

 

[mamatutu]

Delmonicos on the grill from a sale at Nick's months ago, that were bordering on freezer burn, baked potato, and salad.

Hope you feel better and aint it the truth!!! If I don't cook, we don't eat. Well, we don't eat good, if it doesn't come out of a can or can be put on a hotdog roll, its not getting fixed. LOL

I have/had (cross your fingers) some bronchial thing, and Monello made asparagus soup for his dinner. It smelled wonderful but looked disgusting, like pea soup, so I had chicken broth with whole wheat spaghetti and scrambled eggs. Tonight we're supposed to have dogs and kraut - we'll see how that works out.

The best asparagus soup I ever had was in Germany. Now I want some!

Had tuna steaks last night, found a recipe for a glaze to put over them. Coarse ground Dijon mustard, honey, rice wine vinegar and garlic. Mix the mustard, honey, vinegar and garlic in a saucepan, let it come to a bubble, turn down the heat, let it reduce till a little thick. Sprinkle coarse ground black pepper and sea salt on tuna steaks, sear on high heat for approx. 2 - 3 minutes on each side. Plate the steaks and put the glaze on top of them. It was really yummy!! Corned Beef and Cabbage in the crockpot for tonites dinner.

That sounds good. I did sandwiches and chips. Tonight I am doing cheesesteaks I think.

This sounds so good. Do you have the recipe? Always looking for something new to do with chicken.

I stirred together cheese, shredded chicken, sour cream, ranch dressing, blue cheese and hot sauce, then dumped it into pizza crust from a can. Bake according to directions on dough can, which is about 25 minutes. I've done this with marinara sauce and meat/ cheese, much like a true calzone. You can make it vegetarian, Greek, Asian... any way you want.

Yum!! I'll have to try that. Thanks.
