What's for Dinner Tonight? Easy and Delicious Options for Date Night!

[rennea]

Goodmorning all I'm going into work tonight so it will be a late lunch instead for us. Think I'll make something easy like pancakes

 

[Chef Michelle D]

I wish my dh would eat breakfast for dinner, for some reason he has this thing about it. Growing up my mom would make pancakes, eggs, or other breakfast foods for dinner every now and then and I loved it. When we were first married I mentioned it to my dh and he thought I was crazy. So I have never done it for my family but there are times making pancakes would be so nice.

Tonight we are having burgers on the grill with fries and carrots. Have a nice weekend everyone.

We are going to Sunset Manor to visit our old neighbor, who is living there in assisted living. She is still very spry and her mind is sharp as a tack! They have a Restaurant there and the food is great! You can only eat there with a resident, so it's fun to go with "Grandma Hazel" and get a "Baldwin Burger". (it's on Baldwin Street)

I'm making the mini cheeseburgers, cheesy bacon potatoes & baked beans

We had breakfast for dinner the other night and mini cheeseburgers last night they are good. Tonight is pizza night, maybe papa johns or homemade not sure right now.

DH is out of town ( again), I am going to try the mini hamburger recipe tonight

Smoky Buffalo Wings for me!

...and how many times have you had that already?!?!?!

 

[Stephaniecafe]

braised bird bodies (as my vegetarian husband calls it)... AKA Roasted Chicken. With carmelized onions and oranges. Curry Orzo. Steamed squash.

The boys want spaghetti here so spaghetti it is...

So - we didn't go have dinner with Grandma Hazel.....her son and DIL came for a visit, so we got pre-empted!:cry:

Instead, I did Greek Turkey Burgers on the grill, with a cucumber & onion salad, and fresh yellow beans from my garden. I LOVE summer gardens!:love:

I used an onion from the garden, (cuke came from the Farmers Market), and fresh dill, and fresh Basil...ohhh, the smell of fresh basil! DS took a whiff, and said "Mommy, it smells like candy!".

Just twice! I needed to finish up the frozen leftover wings tonight

This time I browned them in the grill pan and finished them off in the oven. I like them better that way.

Maybe next year I'll be ambitious and dig a bigger garden and plant even more. Dill and Basil sound good. My cilantro is finally coming up better. I haven't used my chives much this year though! :cry:

Because our ground is so sandy, I was thinking of building raised boxes for next year. Basically use 4 x 4s two high and make a rectangular frame. Fill with dirt and plant there. By having them raised, it is easier to weed.

Don't know yet...big hole where the tires were has a pond liner in it right now...DH is planning...my current garden is getting pushed a bit...

Ah, so much to do so little time.

OK, we'll let you slide then...

I would love to do that! I have to convince DH first though - because of the added expense. It keeps the critters out too, without having to use chicken wire!

My cilantro, for some reason, all died. All of my other herbs are going gangbusters, so I can't figure out what I did wrong with the cilantro.....

I am on my 2nd batch, my first batch died too...odd...this batch is doing well...
Might not be you...

Since it is "date night" for my grandson and I (so his Mommy & Daddy can have one), we have Zaxby's chicken fingers platter. He loves the chicken and fries and it is easier on me. He did not take a nap today so I figured I didn't want to try to take him out anywhere to eat. I don't try to cook when I have him alone. I can manage scrambled eggs (that he helps me mix up with the Mini-Whipper) but I don't try to do anything that would take more than a few minutes! He is not that patient....but he is only 23 months!:love:
