Looking for a delicious dinner idea? Try this Creamy Pasta with Chicken recipe!

In summary, tonight's dinner conversation revolved around various meal plans and recipes, including a new recipe for Creamy Pasta with Chicken, baby-back ribs, spaghetti, Steak and potatoes, BLT's, Unstuffed Green Pepper Soup, and Ham & Cheese Brunch Squares. The group also discussed their recent lack of inspiration in the kitchen and the desire to start BBQing. Some members also shared their plans for the upcoming evening, including picking up pizza and attending Bible study. One member also mentioned staying up late to watch The Biggest Loser and working on host kits. However, plans changed for some due to a broken computer desk and a shopping trip for a new one.

Tonight we are having Pizza for dinner.


Last night I forgot to finally post what we had. I made a new recipe from Kraft called Creamy pasta with Chicken. It was really good.

I've been really un-inspired in the kitchen lately. I think I am going to start BBQing :)

That's the problem Rennea - we all want to start doing more Summer type cooking, but the weather hasn't been cooperating.

With that being said, the rain has stopped, and it's fairly mild (60 here today) so I have baby-back ribs out, and will be slow roasting them today, and then finishing them on the grill.

I'm going to do potato salad with them, I think. I'm so so ready for summer and warm weather!
 
Tonight, we're having spaghetti. It's quick and easy for a church night.
 
Steak and potatoes here. I was going to make the microwave white chicken chili, but DH wants me to save that for Friday when the guys come over. He wants steak and I have some in the freezer, so that's what we'll have. Of course, there won't be leftovers for his lunch, so he'll end up with a tuna sandwich or something tomorrow.

I made BLT's last night (quick and easy and I had tomatoes to use up) and tonight we are having spaghetti
 
I think I'm going to try a new recipe tonight...

Unstuffed Green Pepper Soup

1-1/2 pounds ground beef

3 large green peppers, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

2 14-1/2-ounce cans beef broth

2 10-3/4-ounce cans condensed tomato soup, undiluted

28-ounce can crushed tomatoes, undrained

pork chops, asparagus mimosas salad, fruit & mashed potatoes & gravy
 
Pizza here. I've been in a fairly crappy mood all day. (Up too late and didn't sleep well. That's a bad combination.) I'll be picking up a pizza, then heading out later to Bible study.

Ham & Cheese Brunch Squares - with the recipe halved, since there are only 3 of us, and "dinner-ized" by adding spinach and mushrooms.

Ok, time to get off the couch, and CS, and get that started.

Yes, it does. Actually, I was mostly working on host kits while chatting online. That's one of the joys of a slow printer. While things are printing I have time to chat.

It sounds great, but we didn't try it tonight. We decided to go shopping for a new computer desk since the one we had was falling apart and the temper tantrum thrown this morning broke it further. Can't afford to replace the computer so we bit the bullet and replaced the desk. We ended up at Steak N' Shake for dinner. We love that place!

Oh.... That recipe was in our newspaper today. Everyday they have a recipe from a regular cook from the area. You write in to sign up, then when they contact you, you have to tell them what you are having that day for dinner, then they send a photographer to your home that evening to get a picture of you and your dish, then they put it in the paper. I love that little column.
