What's for Dinner Tonight? Leftovers and Chilaquiles!

[rennea]

Goodmorning everyone!


Tonight for dinner we are having leftovers. I have lots of food in the fridge that needs to be used up.

So we are having pasta, chicken w/rice and lots of veggies:thumbup:

 

[chefann]

Chicken with gravy, stuffing and a veg (carrots or green beans)We're going to the Auto Show tonight, so I'll have to have it done so that we can eat and leave as soon as DH gets home from work.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Tonight is the baked BBQ'd chicken legs, baked beans, and salad. Probably some Alexia Waffle Fries too. They were demoing them a couple weeks ago at Costco, so we have an institutional sized bag of them in the freezer! (those darn Costco demos!)

Yesterday we had pizza which was nice. It was customer appreciation day at Little Caesar's. You can't beat a $4 large pizza! We get 3 of them.

Tonight is prayer meeting so we'll probably do something easy like chicken, rice, cheese and broccoli casserole.

Oh, I LOVE the Alexia fries. The salt and pepper fries are my fave. They are SO good.

I'm probably going to have a junk food night... McDonald's or Taco Bell... because it's my night at the cat shelter so I won't be home until after 8 PM.

 

[Kitchen Diva]

I'll be making Katie Lee Joel's Rustic Beef Stew! With warm buttered Hawaiian Sweet rolls. (I'll just be licking them, as white bread/white carbs are a no-no for me!)

 

[AnnieBee]

We'll be having left over turkey pot pie, made from scratch. I'm looking forward to it as it was so yummy the first time . Maybe asparagus with it, or some other veggie.

 

[merego]

Teenage DS and I are going out to eat, probably Uno's or BW3's for wings, his favorite.

I just about spit my tea all over the computer screen!

Good thing I've had enough experience on here to realize that it's a danger!

You make me laugh, Girl! (The Hawaiian Sweet Rolls are a favorite of DH & DS....I never thought about just licking them!)

Glad I could make you laugh. I am very sad about having to break up with Hawaiian Sweet rolls. They are about the only white bread I eat. I rarely make sandwiches, so to have one of those rolls slightly warmed in the oven with a pan of butter in the middle...

Yup- I'll just be licking mine. And if a small 1 inch crumb 'happens' to fall into my mouth, well no harm there, right? :blushing::angel:

 

[pamperedbybarbara]

I have a pot roast cooking in the crock pot...put it in a few hours ago, went to Costco and just came home to amazing aromas..can't wait till dinner. May make the garlic bites w/them because I have a few extra bisquit containers in frig...(on sale last week at Wegman's).

 

[Get_Pampered]

I am hosting my own show tonight...we are making superbowl food Tangy Pepper Pecan Brie
Jalapeno Popper Pizzaz

Why a banana?

You have:

Peppers
and more Peppers,
and cherries.....

and lots of dairy!

looks pretty balanced to me!

 

[Chef Michelle D]

I have boneless chicken breast out and I don't know what I want to do with it. I have been running around for about a week. My mom was in the hospital all last week and a few days the week before so I just made quick meals and easy recipes.

I want to do something with it but I don't have much stuff in the house. I need to go food shopping and stock up on some of the staples that I am out of.

You know I think you are right...besides the jalapenos make you sweat and sweating = burning calories!

All could be done in DCB in microwave:
BBQ chicken
Jerk chicken
make your own rub out of olive oil and your fave seasonings...basil & garlic are yummy
pound 'em, bread 'em, smother 'em in Spaghetti sauce and cheese

 

[Kitchen Diva]

You could always just lick the banana... that way you get the taste but non of the calories.

I'm mourning the loss of my Hawaiian Sweet Rolls. (Sob...sniffle...wail...moan...sniffle...cry)

 

[Symara]

I'm fairly new, so I tried the power cooking recipes this week. Sunday we had the enchilada casserole, tonight we are having the shepherd's pie. I'm looking forward to it, but no clue on what to have with it.

I will pray for your loss:angel:

[PamperedDor]

We had bbq ribs from the dcb, I made chicken cutlets with smokey bbq rub on the bar pan, FF, broccoli and corn - the cutlets were to die for! I made 8 and all were gone - so were the ribs but I only made 1 rack!

 

[candiejayne]

It was a quick dinner night, my BFs DS has wrestling practice. We got a box dinner thing at Sams. It was a chicken dish that had a lemon garlic butter sauce and had capers, artichokes and tomatoes in it. I served it over brown rice and made some steamed cauliflower. It was very yummy and pretty quick!

Thanks so much for posting this recipe Linda

Sorry for being off topic for a second but is it because I'm blond, Canadian or just stupid that I have NO idea what any of the above items are/mean?

 

[pamperedlinda]

Salsa Verde - green Chili Salsa made from tomatillos - find it in the mexican section

Chihuahua Cheese - I've never seen it before - the cookbook & Google say you can substitute Monterey Jack - that's what I did

Queso Fresco - a white creamy cheese like the texture of feta. The cookbook says you can substitute Farmers Cheese - Google says you can also substitute feta chese. I was able to find Queso Fresco in my grocery store - it does have the texture of feta, but it's much milder.

 

[pamperedlinda]

Oh, and I also do not know what Chilaquiles means - but it's yummy!

 

[pamperedlinda]

Oh, one more thing - the finished recipe looked just like the picture!

 

[sklay723]

I made Easy Chicken Bake. I found the recipe on the back of a Stove Top Stuffing Box and figured my family might like it...and they did! It's not the world's most creative meal, but it's pretty tasty. I'm sharing the recipe with everyone because it really was quick and easy, and I'll definitely be making it again (especially since we bought a ton of boneless/skinless chicken breasts last week on sale). I did the math and the whole casserole only cost us about $7.50, feeding a family of four! If DH and I hadn't split what was left, I'm sure we would have had enough for my lunch tomorrow...but we were hungry enough for seconds.

EASY CHICKEN BAKE - Prep 10 minutes, Bake 30 minutes = 40 minutes total

1 pkg. (6 oz.) Stove Top Cornbread Stuffing Mix
1 1/2 lb. boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
1/3 cup sour cream
1 bag (16 oz.) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed and drained (I did the Steam-in-Bag ones and put them in the microwave according to the directions)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare stuffing mix as directed on package and set aside.
2. Mix chicken, soup, sour cream and vegetables in 13x9 baking dish. Top with prepared stuffing evenly.
3. Bake 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (30 minutes was perfect for when I did it).

Serves 6.

 

[candiejayne]

that does sound good thanks!

LOL and I wonder how you personally would pronounce it! No offense but here in Tucson we are more familiar. My family always makes me put on a show when I go home by saying things like guacamole and burrito. I no longer say them the "honkey" way but the real way with the mexican accents...and they think it sounds funny! haha
