Tonight we are having Chicken and Dumplings. I'm making a Caesar Salad on the side.
 
Recruits kick off show tonight....we'll be having the smoky bbq sandwiches and that dump cake....both recipes provided by this wonderful site!

Thanks to all!
 
I think I am making the mexican lasagna with black beans instead of the chicken.
 
I have a 3.5 pound pork loin defrosted and ready to go. I was thinking about cutting it in half and then using half of it to make pulled pork bbq sandwiches with it.
 
I'm either going to make a pizza or have some boca burgers. Either with salad. Need quick stuff, have some cleaning and tons of calls to make!!:)
 
Grilled BBQ Chicken and Pineapple Pizza (with red onions and spinach too...) with Sprecher's Root Beer. :chef:
 
Show tonight, so leftovers at the Bates Bungalow.
 
Pizza at the ballfields, tonight is my daughters 2nd softball game!!!
 
Golden Grahams. Tonight is the first night that my husband has actually been able to do field work. It's been a bad spring! He won't be in til 8:30 or so.... the kids & I had cereal. :)
