What's For Dinner?

[walkonby]

permission NOT to make anything was granted to me by DH and DS!! They are taking responsibility for what their work meal will be tonight. I suspect that just means a store bought roasted chicken grabbed on the way in.....lol , but at least I don't have to cook.
On the weekend I'll batch cook some things for sure.

To lazy to cook so we will order in Chinese.

Mom decided on Chicken Fingers and Homemade Wedges

BBQ chicken thighs, steamed broccoli and penne pasta with tomato sauce.

I recently got turned onto a new brand of store bought sauce.


I found it at the Independent Grocer in Belleville. I have since ordered a case on Amazon.

I really want something with a nice Gravy, comfort food feel so tonight I am going to make Meatballs in Mushroom Gravy over Mashed Potatoes.

We have some potatoes that need to be used up so I am going to make a large batch which I can use later in the week as well, Love planning ahead

Everyone just munched out here yesterday but today is nice out so I'm going to make ribs in my big easy, and just emailed my oldest daughter for her recipe for spinach salad and will also make twice baked broccoli potatoes

aw, thanks @lizzie bargain .
I seem to be part enthusiastic cook ( as in I love to do it!! ), part resentful cook ( as in why do I always have to do it? ) with a heaping dash of forgetfulness that keeps me heading back into the kitchen.
Like this morning....I could've easily have sat petting the dogs all morning but instead I made a massive Shepherd's pie and a cream cheese dip, the taco spiced layered one with grated cheddar and diced veggies.
I stopped short of making the clam chowder I had planned because I had forgotten to save a few spuds to dice into the soup.
( mashed up all the available spuds onto the Shepherd's pie )

There is always tomorrow!

I made a pot of lentil soup and DH made fresh buns to go with it. Simple dinner on a cold day.

[KelJo]

...roasted and bbq'd a chicken in the oven, home fries, gravy & corn

[GoodBoy]

Roasted veg served on a bed of gorgonzola polenta - served with New Zealand Sauv Blanc

[SassyAshley]

I totally feel this, I love to cook but some days I wish little fairies would come in and cook for me.

I could have spent today chilling on the couch watching Netflix and Crocheting but instead I made, Oatmeal with Quinoa, Chicken Parm Soup & Ham and Potato soup. Hopefully Breakfast and Lunches will be covered for a few days.

Oh and with Dinner I am making a huge pot of mashed potatoes cause I have potatoes to use up but will use the leftovers for meals later in the week.

I was going to make a Balsamic Pork Roast but discovered we were low on Balsamic Vinegar but I did have enough to make Balsamic Mustard Marinated Pork Chops. We will have this will Marinated Roasted Veggies and either rice or potatoes, will see how I feel once dinner time rolls around

I really like my Big Easy and because it is nice out again today I am going to try chicken legs in it and will throw in a few foil wrapped potatoes in it as well
