Good Morning!!!!

Hope you all are doing great today...no feverish kids, no grumpy partners, and a big mug of hot coffee...:blushing:

Last night I made the Grilled Chicken Penne al Fresco..yumm! I was wondering if anyone has ever tried this with grilled shrimp instead...I may try that next time...

Tonite for dinner we are having salmon w/breadcrumbs and dijon mustard on the bar pan, brown rice and steamed veggies!!

Have a great day, everyone!!
 
No idea for tonight and I need to make meals for the weekend since I will be busy and OOT...
 
last night we had the southwest meatloaf, i was afraid to try it because so many different reviews but my DH loved it as did I. tonight either using left over tenderloin for pork fried rice or left over chicken for morocan stir fry or bbq chicken sandwiches. all yummy
 
Tex Mex Beef Tacos, only we used ground turkey. They were really good. I love chipotle flavor and the recipe called for chipotle peppers in adobe (sp?) sauce. I had some in the freezer left over from a PC recipe. I had my meat mixture over lettuce which was excellent and my dh and ds had theirs on tortillas. I love the combination of corn and beans with the chipotle flavor and ground turkey. We put shredded cheddar cheese on top even though the recipe didn't call for using any cheese.I don't think I ever saw a thread started for last Saturday night, but I wanted to post that I made the meatloaf from the current SBRC. I love that I could make it before the soccer game and then put it in the microwave when we got home. It was really good.

Wow - sounds like you had a plan for dinner! :D That sounds really good!


I had a party tonight, so we had 6 cheese tortellini w/ pasta sauce, and steamed broccoli. Fast & easy!
 
Well, I have a bunch of Savings Angel deals to use in my recipes. The only thing from this meal that wasn't a SA deal was the chipotle, but it was in the freezer. I lucked out.How did your party go?
 
I was actually winging it tonight- which I never do! We had Mahi-mahi grilled in the Grill Pan with some Jamaican Jerk Rub (on ours)- and some Garlic salt/pepper on all of them (kids didn't have the rub on theirs). Roasted some carrots/cauliflower in the bar pan. Whole Wheat Couscous. And I made a Mango Pineapple salsa to serve over the fish (and I like to mix some in my couscous).Was quite yummy! Even my two kids ate the fish, veggies, and one of them gobbled up the couscous. Healthy, easy, and delicious- and used things that I had on hand.

Party was FUN! Show was over $500, and she closed tonight - I'm getting ready to turn it in right now. 2nd show turned in for the month, so I just earned the tote. 1 down for this week, and 2 to go! Tomorrow's is in Mattawan - NOT looking forward to that drive, but at least there's no snow in the forecast!
 
Made chicken in the executive pan and then shredded it for Buffalo chicken pizza - yummy! Husband wanted some meatloaf so made that in the loaf pan. Lots of leftovers for tomorrow!
