Tacos for the kids and I am making the Turkey Cranberry wreath with the left over turkey breast from the other night for me and the DH!
 
I might make homemade pizza...or we might go out. We need to go to Lowes to get more supplies for the addition/remodel. It depends on when DH gets home.

We've got Trunk or Treat at school tonight. The local BBQ restaurant will be there - so it's BBQ for us.
 
veal parmesan, linguine, and veggies
probably brownies with strawberries on top for dessert.
 
Hey Ann - thanks for the Tuna Melt idea for last night! The boys loved it! I doctored up some Bush's baked beans to go with them, along with the chips. Simple, easy, and it made them happy!:thumbup:
 
We are having Rib Eye steaks, Baked Potatoes, and Broccoli.
 
I have had a Sirloin Tip Roast in the crockpot all day today, and I am going to make carrots and mashed potatoes with gravy to go along with it.
 
Pasta for us tonight, just a little. We are off to our church for a halloween party. They will have pizza for sale and goodies.
 
I think I'll heat up the pasta dinner I bought on sale with a coupon at Meijer this week. Steak, pasta, and a few veggies with some sort of sauce. I forget the name.
 
It was Bertollie, steak, pasta and portabello mushrooms, yellow peppers and cherry tomatoes in wine sauce.

You're welcome. Some nights, those simple meals just hit the spot.

I didn't share my "melt" tip. I hate it when grilled sandwiches come apart, and the tuna salad isn't condusive to sticking together. So instead of sliced cheese on tuna melts, I mix shredded cheese into the tuna mixture. The cheese melts as it cooks and holds the whole thing together.
 
I just got a list of Cranberry Deep Covered Baker Recipes, I think I will try the Chicken Pot Pie...or the Baked Potato Curls....YUM!

We ended up going to Taste of Bangkok - a Thai restaurant near us. All three of us love the food, and it's cheap! Plus, we had enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow!:thumbup:
