What's For Dinner?

my supper was good too. I bought some dry chicken coating mix the other day in a baggie so had to try it, so I coated chicken pieces (with skin) in ranch dressing and then used the coating mix on the chicken and baked in the oven..it was yummy!!! It crisped really well..and with it I scrubbed some russet potatoes and chunked those (with the skin too) and coated them with ranch dressing, parmesan cheese, S & P, and garlic powder and baked in the oven (but I gave those a 1/2 hr start ahead of the chicken) and baked in a deep dish and stirred every 10-15 mins so that the parm cheese didn't burn). It all tasted amazing!!

tomato soup with two slices of multigrain toast.

WOW that would scare me too, I am always afraid of the leaving the crock pot going well I am away.

Your dinner looks amazing.

I am pretty bummed... About half hour after I got home I realized the slow cooker was smoking, unplugged it and I investigated. The elements must have gotten too hot (even though it was on low all day and I use it almost every day without problems) it melted the electrical cord! The thing is burnt black!! All I can say is thank god I was home!!

Now I have no slow cooker :( :(

On that note my dinner last night was McDonalds for dinner. Went out to do some final prep for our trip and did not get home till after 8 so dinner had to be grab and go and quick.

I already cannot wait for my vacation to be over so I can go back to normal eating and we have not even left yet.

That's very unusual, I wonder what happened? I use mine all the time (I have three). I often put it on top of the stove when I leave it for the day or overnight (obviously with the stove off), at least there's nothing flammable right there.

I have no idea :shrug: lol.
It was pretty old though, almost as old as me... Sooo that could very well have been the problem? I'm going to scope out a deal on a new one because I really cannot live without it. :P

I have a big batch of chili in the slow cooker..ground beef, onions, mushrooms, garlic, beans (3 different kinds, incl a few black beans,,shhhh) corn, 1/2 bottle left over salsa, couple of tomatoes that needed to be used, can tomatoes, tomato soup, tomato paste, S&P , chili powder..(and my secret ingredient a small parsnip diced very small, it adds a very nice different flavour).

Yesterday was dolma in Arabic style (sheikh el mahshi). It's very difficult to prepare (in terms of time, takes very much time), my husband and I made together (on Sunday beforehand, then on Monday it was cooked).

The recipe you can find here, but the one, we prepared, my mother-in-law taught us.

Vegetable soup!

Sweet husband brought home Toonie Tuesdays chicken for supper yesterday.

Last night was pasta with meat sauce and lots of cheese.

^ I don't know what to have today...that sounds good, maybe I will whip up some pasta as I have lots of ground beef and mushrooms to use up...(and make some extra sauce to use in those Pillsbury crescent rolls with lots of cheese as a quick appy when someone visits)
