mmmm, comfort pasta! Medium sized shells swimming in Spicy Classico sauce with ground beef, pork and a couple of Marc Angelo sausages cut up. All was good here last night.
Started to refeel like normal so osole mio pastas (lasagna bologna and fettucine alfredo ) because it was on sale and I had coupons!
Steak, garlic shrimp, roasted baby potatoes, mushrooms, onions and ceaser salad!
Dinner tonight tourtiere and spinach salad with mushrooms and bacon bits
We have the Roasted Chicken from yesterday but not feeling Roasted Chicken so we are turning some of the meat into Chicken Tetrazzini
DS boiled, then sauteed up a batch of my homemade perogies from the freezer, also oven roasted a tray of carrots and a couple of small onions. it was a lovely surprise for DH and I.
Hmmm I was thinking BBQ Chicken Sandwiches, keep it simple but after reading @walkonby post, now I am thinking maybe perogies bake. Choices
this is what we do @SassyAshley , I come on here and get marvelous dinner suggestions from other members as well. So nice we have plenty of options. Enjoy!
Made dinner up for DH work and for us here too. Shake 'N Bake crumb coating for pork. Coated 3 thick ( mostly boneless ) loin chops, served with half and half, that is real mashed spuds mixed with instant ones and oven roasted carrots.
I am excited to make DS chicken parm but will wait and make it tomorrow night since he went to lunch with his friends today on their school break and he has hockey tonight so he can just have salad and chicken strips.
bacon meatloaf with tomato sauce and mashed patatoes
Did up 34 spring rolls last night BUT they are for Christmas Eve and the 25th. All are now a golden brown and stored in the freezer. Most were filled with a ground pork/spaghetti squash mixture, but a few were sweet ( apple/pear )
It'll be burgers for tonight. Feel I should make up a yummy potato salad after grabbing a 15 lb . bag of spuds for $2.00 at NF.
We're going to a friends for a pot roast dinner :) I"m so excited.... I absolutely love pot roasts and haven't had one in ages... (DH is more of a rare beef guy)
fired up the bread maker this afternoon and made some dough for pizza! Friday pizza
Made DS his new fav- Chicken Parm. He gave me thumbs up! Best part is that my smart shopping made it happen for $1.66 per serving!!!
My tummy seems to be a little bit off today so kept it simple for dinner: Waffles
Ceasar salad today.
Tonight Dh cooked pork cutlets, M&C, and mixed veggies.
We had a strange mix on vacation here. Sausage, corn muffins from a mix and fresh asparagus. Dinner for the two of us for less than $4. Sure beats eating out as that would barely cover the tip-lol.
More Christmas prep ( things to make ahead and freeze edition )
I had the genius idea of making my Christmas bread stuffing all up, filling 2 of those stretchy net bags, tying the ends off and wrapping tightly in cling wrap, then into where else? The freezer!
So I did it!
Yep, now on the 23rd or 24th I'll let them thaw in the fridge, then simply insert one of them into the cavity of the turkey and the second stuffing bag......unsure atm.
I have a single large frozen turkey breast that I " could " turn into a stuffed roll thingy?
Hoping this all works out like it has in my head! lol.
Saturday night had homemade pizza at my daughter's out of town,and we could take home leftovers (but i forgot as we had to put the xmas box empty in our car and 2 bags ) UGGGGGG
I had just placed the dry beans to soak all day for chili. Then DH mentions he feels like Fish 'N Chips.....sigh, he'll hit the Take Out place later tonight, I'll make the chili on Tuesday.
Grabbe a Spaghetti Squash so going to make Caprese Chicken Spaghetti Squash
we are going out for Mexican food for lunch-so probably just a boxed pizza for dinner.
We did our first door dash order from Boston Pizza. We signed up via our bank with a partnership deal so we got free delivery fees for a year plus 50% off our first 2 orders (to $20). DH had ribs and I had chicken parm..both were delish. Fingers crossed, I think we receive cashback via ampli as well.
Going to try One Pot Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie tonight and make homemade Dinner Rolls. Mom said she will rolls the dinner rolls if I can make the dough, no problem I found a bread machine recipe.
I love my bread machine, makes making dough so easy especially on work days. I can just dump everything in and the bread machine does all the work well I finish my work day
Bread machine is so great for fast dough making @SassyAshley , I also used mine for that, never baking in the machine. These days however, the bread machine is stored up in the rafters because I am using my new love....my CookLee mixer machine.
The chili got made at 11:00 p.m. last night....a few hours after we enjoyed that delicious Fish 'N Chip dinner.
Their coleslaw is the way I like it, made with vinegar instead of a bunch of mayo in it.
@walkonby , I never bake in the bread machine, do not like how it comes out. But I let the Bread Machine do the heavy lifting.
Mini caesar salad wraps with BQ chicken breasts from the freezer
