You're all so motivating... I love reading this thread, especially when I really don't FEEL like cooking supper... But neither do I feel like spending money on going out to eat.So - I think I'll try my hand at the Loaded Baked Potato Chowder. I've been meaning to make that for quite some time now, but hadn't gotten around to it yet.
And I finally found Pillsbury Biscuits, so I can try out the Garlic Parmesan Biscuits that everyone raves about so much!Guten Appetit!

Finally decided on steak and rice:
Used the Hold & Slice to punch holes all over the steak, then brushed about 2 T Hickory Smoke Grape Seed Oil (from Wildtree), all over. Very generously sprinkled both Southwestern Seasoning Mix and the Chipotle Rub all over the top. About 10 minutes before it was done, I poured Worcestershire Sauce over it (didn't turn it at all, because it was cooked on the Large Bar Pan with Parchment Paper).
Steamed a mix of white and whole grain brown rice.
Microwaved brocolli sprinkled with the Parmesan-Garlic Oil Dipping Seasoning.
Really, this dinner was as good as you'd get in a restaurant. Not bragging, because it was the ingredients which made it so good.
