Tonight we are having shrimp in the BBQ Basket w/couscous.


Thinking about trying a new dessert, anyone have any ideas?
 
Show Night!

Chicken Apples Sausages and Fresh Green Beans.


Desserts...hmmmm, I'm not so good with desserts - although I want to try the Choc. Peanut Butter Torte in the F/W SB!
 
try the Grilled Banana Splits!!! Out of this WORLD!!!!!
 
Well, I never got to making chicken last night! My day just slipped away and I had to make the Bead Bowl Aritchoke Dip for my meeting last night! It took me 3 stores to find the sour dough bread bowls that were needed. My recommmendation is to shop Safeway for them! They have the best prices too! Everywhere I looked, they were out of stock or it wasn't sourdough, and they wanted $5.00 each!:eek: I went over to Safeway, found exactly what I was looking for and they were only $1.99 each!!! Wahooo!
Then I was working with my hospitality director for a few hours to plan the meeting! So I lost track of time and ordered a pizza for my family!
Anyway, so tonight I'm making chicken on the grill, have no clue what else, but I will be figuring out something good, it's my DH's last night home for a couple of days, he's heading out of town again to work 2 hours away! So I like to send him off with a good meal! I think I'll be making roasted garlic too, and I bought and extra bread bowl, so I'll cut that up, probably make roasted potatoes and veggies too!
mmmmm..... that's it! Dinner is planned!;):D
 
Show tonight, too. Probably something quick, like toast for me. My show is near DH's buddy's house, so we're driving over there together and DH is taking sausages and buns for grilling.
 
I've got a show tonight too. Kids are staying at the IL's tonight as a practice run for our float trip. I have no idea what to fix for DH. He's easy to please though & will make due with a sandwich.
 
Family night at home - bike ride with the kiddos and dogs and then probably burgers on the grill.We have burgers a lot in the summer...helps to have a freezer with lots of hamburger and buns are still pretty cheap.

Do you make your couscous plain or add anything to it?
 
Bonless ribs on the grill oven rosted potatos and fresh green beans. Nice summer time dinner.
 
What's for dinner? Good question. I have lots of chicken breasts, or I guess I can do the 30 minute microwave chicken. Whole chickens were 89 cents a pound. I don't even know if that's a great price, but it seemed good.

Any easy chicken ideas? The chicken breasts are frozen, and my son has a game form 5-6. Should probably thought of this earlier.
 
Tortellini and sauce, and salad. Show tonight, so something easy.
 
Soft tacos - seasoned ground beef rolled in corn tortillas
Topped with lettuce, tomato, cheese and a tomato based sauce. A dollop of sour cream on top, also some pace thick n chunky which I love!
Spanish rice and refried beans on the side.
Sweet tea and chocolate cake for dessert!!

Debbie :D

Throw them in a dish frozen, pour Italian Dressing in over them and cook them at about 375 degrees for an hour.

Serve with rice, stuffing or potatoes...

Easy and quick!
 
I don't have any Italian dressing, rice, stuffing, or potatoes. I have barbecue sauce but I did that the other night. Suppose that would work with spaghetti sauce with a side of cheese filled bread sticks?
 
something with ground turkey, havent decided yet, any suggestions?? :)

You can pour BBQ sauce over it and just bake it in the oven like that too.

No need to thaw, just pour on top and bake - it will thaw as it cooks and not be too runny at all.
 
I was thinking about trying to grill a pizza tonight, but I am not sure if I can use the Pillsbury dough - the kind in the can - or if it will make a mess on the grill. I was thinking of pre-baking it in the oven, and then finishing it on the grill. Anyone ever tried this?

Me and Luke will eat at VBS. Russell has left over ham that my mom saved for him to have tonight since I do not have time to cook before going to VBS.

Oh yeah!! I use these all of the time....they work really well! I just unroll on a cutting board, spray or spread garlic infused oil on one side, put that side down, then do the top while it's on the grill....it is done within 10 mins!

Mix some bbq sauce, breadcrumbs, chopped onion and an egg into the meat, make patties and grill! :chef:

That sounds yummy - thanks for the advice! :)

Now I just have to make sure DH is up for grilling when he gets home. I really have to get over my fear of that thing...

I'm making it with garlic tonight.

Sometimes I add pine nuts and apricots.
 
Well, my show for tonight got rescheduled for August. (Lots of last-minute get-aways led to the change.) That's okay. I'm having a good July, but I could use a bit more in my August.

As for dinner, we were given some venison steaks, so I'll be cooking one of those for The Furry Guy. I don't particularly care for venison, so I'll grab some leftovers.
 
Beans, squash and tomatoes from my garden :)
Hamburgers (from the grocery store) on the grill

Can you tell me what herbs you are using on the chicken and is it boned chicken or bonless. I need to get some more recipes for the crockpot.

Thanks.

I'm with you I will not cook on the grill either and I have a gas stove so I am used to cooking with a flame. But there is something about the grill that I just can't do it.
