cute picture! dinner tonight for me is the new chicken chili (yum) and a corn casserole
 
Fried cube steak. Not sure what else. I want roasted potatos but those take too long and I am not in the mood to wait.
 
It is a show night, there is a roast, with carrots and potatoes in the crock pot for DH.
 
Two large Swiss Steaks in the DCB with 5 green peppers, and 7 tomatoes on top. I have had them in the oven since 11 AM at 250 degrees, and they are smelling so good. I think I will make mashed potatoes and maybe green beans.

Is it just peppers and tomatoes, any sauce or anything?
 
Chipotle Chili that someone posted yesterday for someone else. My husband loves chili and beef and spicy. Kids may not care for it, but sometimes dh's tastes and stomach takes priority.
 
Homemade Turkey noodle soup. :)

Just cut up green peppers and tomatoes. They are wonderful, and give a great flavor. We love it this way. I remember my Mom doing this when I was young and my DH fell in love with it when I made it.
 
Your daughter's photo is so cute!!! :)

We're having bbq beef bundles and green beans. It's one of DH's favorite meals, and very easy for me to make (thus one of my favorites to make). They're in the oven right now and smelling oh so good!
 
we are having black bean soup, over white rice, topped with white cheddar cheese
 
The pork sopes (on the cover of the Latin Flavor)Except we are using left over steak! I went and picked the last of my tomotillos out of the garden! I love salsa verde!
 
We had turkey breast, mashed potatoes, broccoli, corn and gravy -
 
We had the chicken club ring. I wanted to try it before I do it at my show on Thursday. (host's recipe choice).
 
Home made chix noodle soup! YUM!

I like this one. It's a fave. It doesn't even need the crescent rolls. I can eat it plain.
 
We had the new Power Cooking Recipe Smokey Black Bean Chicken Wraps for lunch and the Dijon Chicken Noodle Toss! They were both fantastic! The Dijon Chicken makes a ton! It filled the large SA Dots bowl! We have leftovers of both for tomorrow! My DD and I both are having the new Mocha Cocoa but without the Mocha Sprinkle...LOL!
 
It's late - but I had to say that picture is just adorable! I want to pick her up and squeeze her!


It was a show night - so we had Baked BBQ'd chicken with sweet potatoes and Stove Top Stuffing. Quick and easy...

Hey Becky, I shouldn't say this, but, I know!! Sometimes I could just eat her up... (hence the thread :)).

Your dinner sounds yummy - mine was fun - DH and I were invited to a dinner put on by our local Gideons to recognise and appreciate local pastors. Because we don't have one right now (a pastor that is!) DH and I were invited to sub in. Really interesting evening, learned alot more about their work than I knew before. Heard some pretty neat stories too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some quick and easy dinner ideas for tonight?

For a quick and easy dinner, consider making a stir-fry with your favorite vegetables and protein, such as chicken or tofu. You can also prepare a pasta dish with a simple sauce, or whip up tacos using pre-cooked meat and fresh toppings. Another option is a one-pan meal, like sheet pan chicken and veggies, which minimizes cleanup.

How can I incorporate Pampered Chef products into my dinner prep?

Pampered Chef offers a variety of kitchen tools that can make dinner prep easier and more efficient. Use the Quick Slice to prepare vegetables quickly, the Rockcrok for stovetop-to-oven cooking, or the Mix ‘N Chop for browning ground meat. Their stoneware is great for even baking and roasting, ensuring your meals are delicious and perfectly cooked.

What should I do if I have picky eaters at the dinner table?

When dealing with picky eaters, try to involve them in the meal planning process. Offer a few options for dinner and let them choose. You can also create a build-your-own meal night, such as a taco bar or a pizza night, where everyone can customize their meal according to their preferences.

How can I plan meals for the week to make dinner easier?

Meal planning can save you time and stress during the week. Start by choosing a few recipes for the week and create a shopping list based on those meals. Consider batch cooking on the weekends to prepare ingredients in advance. You can also use the freezer to store prepped meals or ingredients, making it easy to pull together dinner on busy nights.

What are some healthy dinner options for tonight?

For a healthy dinner, consider grilled salmon with a side of quinoa and steamed broccoli. A salad with mixed greens, lean protein, and a variety of colorful vegetables is also a great choice. You can make a hearty vegetable soup or a stir-fry with lots of fresh vegetables and a lean protein source for a nutritious meal.
