Have you ever taken the Jerk Chicken Nacho recipe and made tacos out of it? That is now our favorite meal to have. Which reminds me, I haven't made them in a while!
 
Ham steak, scalloped potatoes, green veggie of some sort
 
Baked chicken, green bean casserole, and salad.
 
Pork Tenderloin, augratin potatoes, green beans and carrots!

(and I am so glad you decided to do this thread again! I missed you!!)
 
I may make some kind of soup. It is raining out and it may turn to snow. Nothing better then soup and fresh bread on a day like this.
 
Left over chix noodle soup that I made yesterday. ;)

Amen girl!! I miss days like that here in Az! Wish it was colder so I could justify a thick stew!! Mmm. I have a yummy recipe for homemade rice-a-roni and I think that is what will be on the menu along with roasted acorn squash and some apple/beet salad. Very fall!!
 
Chicekn Portebello Panini's. DH has been asking for it.
 
Tilapia and I don't know what else.
 
Leftover pork tenderloin with something, probably mushroom rice.
 
Shrimp fajitas with chix fajitas in the baker...
 
Cheesey Chicken Tortellini Casserole, Breadsticks and Salad

Never fully leave CS because of the "heat"... Personally I'm a hottie so whenever I'm on here it's gonna be hot by default! :) LOL

All kidding aside, we're having my favorite stand-by meal tonight. Shake-n-bake Chicken thighs with au gratin potatoes and a veggie! Mmmmmm love my shake-n-bake!!!

Wow - that's weird. We are having the same thing!:eek:



Seriously - I just got back from grocery shopping, and bought a beautiful Pork Loin at Costco....and in my mind on the way home - this is exactly what I had planned for dinner tonight!

Either too strange for words - or great cooks think alike!
 
Probably my mom's left over chicken and dumplings. Russell is having left over cubed steak.
 
We are having pork tenderloin and cheesy potatoes.

Must be the common meal for tonight and we must have been typing at the same time. :)
 
We are having homemade bbq in the slowcooker, baked beans and slaw. yummy! It's smelling up my house right now:)
 
DD has been requestin cheeseburgers for days.... I am going to finally make her happy tonight. Now.... What to make with them? Maybee cheesy hashbrown casserole.. mmmmmmmmmmmmm
 
Tonight I am finally going to get up the courage to use the "rotisserie" feature of my tabletop oven. I started thawing a whole chicken yesterday. I bought this oven about 10 months ago, and love it for toasting and baking but have not used the rotisserie, mainly because I don't want the unit to get all greasy and yucky. But rotisserie chicken is one of our favorites, and I really need to see how a homemade one compares to a store-bought one. Any suggestions on which of the PC rubs I should use on the chicken? Will probably make augratin potatoes and green beans for the sides.
 
I missed this thread too, thanks for brining it back. Tonight we are having chicken tacos and I might make a chocolate cake.
