A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Hobbies, Crafts and Creativity Our Favorite Recipes What's For Dinner, Part 9

Tonight I am going to make stir fry & cut up a thin steak I have for it.

I know I said chili sounded like a good plan for tonights dinner but I think both DH & I could benefit f rom a chciken soup. If I make it thick enough with veggies & such he will not even notice.

I hope I have chicken in the freezer--I would hate to take the time to go to the store--oh well---we do what we must, huh???

I could send you some

Thick hearty chicken stew today...heals all that ails in this cold weather.

Tonight is home made spagetti. Husbands grandfathers recipe straight from Italy :ding: then canned by ME!

Last night we had Salmon Pie and bowls of clam chowder. It suited us well.

You know Merme, I have never eaten salmon pie.

Tonight will be roast beef for DH and chicken for me.

Bringing this back up because it's one of my favorite topics.


I'm making a pot of oyster stew right now...YUM!

yes I like it too, Cindy00it gives one ideas.

We are having oven baked french fries and oven baked chicken. I will add some frozen veggie with that.

potato stroganoff here. With broccoli and cauliflower on the side.

Chilli!!!!

Hot Turkey Sandwiches fries

On my way to Shani's...

its sunday we had pizza here--mine was a no meat pizza & Rodes was a supreme

On my way to Carol's

cool--the door is unlocked--just come on in!!!!

Last night we couldn't decide and didn't feel like cooking so we each had a couple pieces of pie that we left in the fridge.

Maybe not the healthiest option but it certainly was tasty

sopunds good to me, Shani..

Tonight I think I will do something with ground deer.--I have not decided what yet--perhaps some casserole of some sort. ???

You could always turn it into meat loaf or a pasta sauce.

thanks for the thought on the meatloaf--I had forgotten about that option

I ended up making Chili with this pound of meat---DH was so pleased--

not that he was getting Chili--he actually thought it was canned chili---he asked me the brand & when I said gee it is carol's "from scratch" brand he was so pleased--- (I am guessing pleased that I made it & did not just open a can????)

I think tomorow night I am going to thin the lsft overs with tomato sauce & then add spaghetti to it--
My mom did this wjhen I was a kid & called it "chili mac". It was more like soup. We shall see waht I really end up doing.....

I love chili mac and make it often (with canned chili). topped with cheese it is a satisfying dish. Mine is not so soupy though.

I bet yours is like that that Steak & shake makes??/
I love that as well---That is what I used to get when I went there (back in the day)---Sadly, too much sodium for me now

Mmm, I love chili on french fries.

Ok so on todays menu---is the chili mac--and sicne there is so much left I will just add teh pasta & not any more "broth". so it will be a thicker Chili mac----gee Iam hungry already

perhaps I will make DH some corn muffins to go with it....

mmm corn muffins..I could eat a horse today..hope Mike is hiding

yep--me too--wonder if the weather has anything to do with this???

Homemade chicken soup---

Home made lasagna garlic Bread and garden salad for dinner.
YUMMMMMMMMMMY
I'm soooooooo full

Indian Fry bread Taco's,, So worth the time making the fry bread

Louisiana Dirty rice and grilled Chicken tenders and salad

Homemade spaghetti sauce with pasta.

left overs---Grilled chicken & some pork steak--mashed sour cream potatoes & corn & green beans.
For dessert there is a pumpkin dump cake & a strawberry pie...
they are left over too.

Your leftovers sound delicious.
By the time evening comes around in summer, I am not always hungry for something hot. But our weather is to be cooling this week. I'm thinking a mess of meatballs; some to be made into subs, some for sweet and sour meatballs with stir fry veggies on rice and some for sauce with pasta. One basic thing and multiple meals to feed lots of people.

wow Tina--you have made me hungry..
A cooking show was making meatballs today & now you---I feel the need to make some meatballs now.
As tomorow's meals have been firgured out already--salads with meat on them--
So I guess meatballs are on the agenda for Wednesday--thanks so much---now if I could only figure out the rest of the week.....

I am not going to have meatball meals all week. Most will be frozen for meals the next couple of weeks. I like to cook but not necessarily every day. Having things to take from the freezer and add sides is very good. And I share with others.

Sounds yummy...I haven't made meatballs in a bit. Might be a plan for next week

Today will be pork chops and veggies on the bbq..don't get many dry days so I will take advantage when I can.

Tonight will be egg rolls. Up to my elbows in chopped veggies, shredded chicken and wrappers. Some to eat now and some for the freezer. It is a treat I don't do often.

wow Tina, we'll be over about 5:30 (central time).

I am thawing some burger now--so I guess meatballs it is---that & mashed potatoes it is tonight--Garden tomatoes on the side--

Sounds good, I ran out of propane half way through my bbq'ing

Tonight's dinner is in the crockpot. I layered chopped yellow onions followed by 3# of beef tossed with dried onions and flour. Next was a layer of green peppers and small whole white onions. New potatoes and carrots and celery on top of that, about 3 more pounds. I put a thick layer of mushrooms on top and added water. When that cooks down a bit I will add more 'shrooms and some green onions. Can you tell we like onions around here?
Stew for dinner and a couple other dinners as well.

Mmm, sounds yummy.

Today will be cheeseburgers and cold salads..I am craving burgers.
