Goodmorning,


Tonight is our big staff party so we will be having lots of goodies for dinner.


Pizza dip w/ crackers and bread
Spinach Dip w/crackers and bread
Mushroom and swiss meat balls
meat and cheese platter
mixed veggie platter
paris toasts with baba ghanouj
cherry torte
pecan tassies
shortbread


plus everyone is bringing something as well:thumbup:
 
Beef/Vegetable/Barley soup is simmering in the slow cooker.

I'll probably have some kind of bread with it.
 
I have NO idea what is for dinner!!!!
 
My daughter will be in, and requested a family favorite - Chili Mac and garlic bites with salad. The chili mac is made with Chili Man Coney Island Sauce, and Chili Man chili, Heinze Ketchup, and Lea & Perkins Worstershire sauce. You MUST use exact brands, or it does not taste the same. When made correctly, it tastes just like the chili mac from Steak and Shake. It is getting harder and harder to find the coney island sauce. I do not know what we will do when we can not find it anymore.
 
I think meatloaf & mashed potatoes sounds yummy for supper tonight. :)
 
Tonight is finishing off all of the leftovers in the fridge so that we'll have room for the goodies over the next couple of days. ;)
 
I was going to make kielbasa to go with the leftover pierogi, but can't find any in the freezer. So I got out a flank steak and a package of tortillas. We'll have fajitas instead.
 
I am on my own for dinner tonight. BF and DD went shopping today. To go shopping around here you have to drive at least 2 hours to get to a decent mall with decent stores. The closest Walmart is over 45 min away. So they won't be home until at least 8 tonight. So I will probably make a sandwich.
 
I have NO IDEA! It is freezing here in my house. I don't know why I am colder inside than outside some days. However, it is about 35 degrees here in SA which is pretty cold for here.

I want Taco Soup, but I think I overdid that with the kids. They revolted the last time I made it. Maybe I can talk my husband into going out. He did dinner last night...Honey Nut Cherrios baby!!

Snort! :D

Going out sounds good, or you could have another breakfast for dinner but maybe this time add in some eggs and sausage or bacon :) You could do the ham and cheese brucnh squares :)

We're having meat loaf, brocolli, some kind of potatoes and probably another veggie. It is definately comfort food weather here!
 
Last night I was thinking of making the 15 minute fajitas, then it hit me.... I don't have my DCB! I'm still waiting for my replacement. So sad it's on BO. :( So, I think I'll just do them in the skillet tonight.
