No cooking for me. DH's birthday is tomorrow, so we're doing the celebration dinner with my family tonight. It's only 45 minutes' drive from here, and mom is making shrimp in garlic butter with broccoli rice casserole and carrots. Yum. The best part is the french bread slices you can dip in the butter...too good.

I've been ill for the most part of the week and I haven't cooked in like 4 days! So needless to say I'm cooking tonight....something with chicken!

We are having fried shrimp, potatoes and green beans or corn. Yummy!

We're having Crunchy Lemon Butter/Garlic Fish (from the frozen foods ) and rice and green beans. It's an easy dinner tonight!

I was planning on making the Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches tonight (first time), but my husband just called to say he's bringing home some Middle-eastern food tonight - no complaints here! I'll try the pork over the weekend, I guess.

I pulled out some frozen Chicken BBQ (it's the recipe from the new 29 Minutes cookbook for Pulled Pork) and we'll have that w/ sweet potato fries.

I have a show tonight.

Trying a new recipe for Bacon Chicken and Dumplings... sounds nummy and warm! Probably should skip the bacon part, but I think that'll make the recipe!

very easy tonite....3 cheese tortellini. My DD has been hinting for this for a week or two now and since my DH will not be home, I figured that I would make it for tonites dinner.

Allrecipes.com! It was super yummy! I ended up finishing it just before I had to leave to go to a jewelry party for a friend, when I came back, DH said it was good, so I tried it warmed up and it was good warmed up. I thought maybe not because it wasn't creamy like I was expecting but it was great. I added chopped celery and garlic using the garlic press (of course! I add it to everything!)... skipped the poultry seasoning, didn't have any, used skim milk instead of the half and half and made my dumplings from scratch, I prefer not to use Bisquick. So, with those changes it was awesome, and I'm sure it would've been as is, those were just personal choices... would recommend for taste, not necessarily for health!
