Hi guys!

I'm exhausted!!! Wow, the second day of a new job comes early!!!

Not sure what dinner will be tonight, probably the pork chops we were supposed to have last night, grilled and with a side salad and potatoes.


What are you all having?

Have a super day!
 
...I havent even had my coffee yet...too soon to think about supper!
 
Show Night - so something easy. Probably leftovers/cleaning out the fridge night. We leave for vacation in 4 days, and have to eat whatever won't keep or we can't take with us!
 
airplane food~ yuck...... although in first class you get better food, I think?? but I am packing stuff for the kids and I will just eat a healthy snack. I have eaten horrible the past 2 days, Aunt Flo unfortunately is coming on vacation with me~ugh and she makes me eat ALOT!!!
 
The weather is clear, so there should be no delays and we should be ready to fly today~ woo-hoo. All sytems ago, after 2 days of chaos:grumpy: :grumpy:

Well since I cook for just me, I can decide whenever. The cat just gets a can of food.

So---I am not sure what's on the menu for me tonight ;)
 
Tonight's gonna be falafels, hummus, pittas and salad I think... better get on with it soon, too, once I get motivated to make today's customer calls.
 
Pizza Burger Surprise!
 
Probably something with Turkey in it yet again.

Does anyone think the Creamy One Pot Pasta would taste ok with turkey instead of chicken?
 
ooh-- yeah. If you want to jazz up the turkey, sprinkle it with some of the Moroccan rub before you add it.

The Turkey Gyros in the 29 Min to Dinner cookbook are really good. The sauce really makes this dish. You could do a simple cucumber salad on the side with fries or tots.
 
I'm making London Broil on the grill - perogies, broccoli and carrots -
 
Chicken (again) with bean salad and rice.
 
Ok, I've decided. Whole Wheat Pasta. While that's cookin' I will saute some yellow squash in garlic and olive oil. I probably will add some additional veggies I have on hand (green beans and corn). I am craving pasta due to the gym class I had today! So I thought that would be filling!
 
Going to an uppercase living party so I'll be eating the yummy snacks my friend has prepared.
 
We're having Tropical Chicken (chicken breast tenderloins marinated in pineapple juice, soy sauce, fresh ginger, and unsweetened coconut), macaroni and cheese, and fresh fruits & veggies.
 
We're making Chicken Satay with Peanut Dipping Sauce. My DS will generally only eat chicken, so I'm always looking for a new way to prepare it.

I'm thinkin' something easy here, too! Gotta game tonight for DS and need to incorporate beef tonight for the iron, so how about spaghetti, steamed normandy and applesauce (again!)???
 
homemade pizza - i got busy with the kitchenaid mixer today and made 2 batches of pizza dough. my half will have spinach, artichokes, and mushrooms, DS will have pepperoni and onions. i'll probably also make simple green salads.

already hungry....but tons of work to do b4 i pick up ds from camp
 
Trying a new recipe out of my crock pot book.

Chicken breasts, Cream of chick soup, milk, with stuffing mix on top.

and salad

I'll try to post tomorow how it was.
 
jambalya (sp) with smoked sausage.
