Yes, I'm aware it's not quite 6 a.m. yet, however my dinner plan includes making ( for the first time ) a batch of Easy Sausage Tortellini Soup.
Last night since I did some running around after a meeting and still had some work to catch up on we kept it simple with Naan Pizzas and I had a Caesar Salad on the side.
Tonight is a mystery but I will figure something out.
Leftovers- Roasted chicken, potatoes, veggies and will make rice and ceaser salad to use up the last of the dressing I bought at a restaurant that makes and sells it.
For Friday's work meal the guys will take in Coconut Turkey Rice Bowls with Broccoli and Pineapple. Well....that's if I get off my duff and make it...bwahahaha.
I have a Napa Cabbage I need to use up so tonight will be Eggroll in a Bowl over Rice, using Napa Cabbage, Celery, Carrots, Mushrooms and Green Onions.
The guys are taking in Breakfast as their work meal. I made them bacon, scrambled eggs, thick cut fries and pork 'n beans.
The toaster at their workplace broke so they can't make toast anymore....:(
lol
Stir fry for days! I got busy peeling, chopping and getting many of the discount veggies ready to make a stir fry.( they were yelling at me from the crisper ).
Carrots, red and green peppers, green onions, garlic, broccoli, cilantro leaves, baby spinach and celery.
The protein of choice was a boneless pork tenderloin sliced up into bite sized strips. DH made the batch of pineapple extra long Basmati rice.
Sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, S & P , toasted sesame seeds and a splash of General Tao bottled sauce flavoured the mixture.
@walkonby , some of the best meals come from cleaning out the crisper.
Decided on Dumplings with Homemade Chicken Fried Rice.
Original plan for tonight was a Roast Beef Dinner but I swear one minute it was noon the next it was just after 2 so plan B was needed.
Plan B is Chicken Parm with a side of Noodles, Cheesy Garlic Naan and Parmesan Broccoli.
my hubby is in charge of making a beef stew today: beef, potatoes, onions and carrots. It snowed a lot last night so the stew will be nice for dinner.
Another plan B, sort of instead of making a Roast Beef with Mashed Potatoes, Veggies and Gravy we are going to make Pot Roast Stew which we will serve over Mashed Potatoes.
Last night was black bean burgers with a side salad and homemade ranch dressing. I have the dried seasonings in a jar so it takes seconds to made fresh dressing and it soooooooooo good!
@harbie i have only discovered black bean burgers last year. I'm not a big meat eater and my hubby is so I usually get a chicken burger whenever we go to a burger joint and I get tired of that. Lately, more restaurants are offering plant based and black bean burgers. I don't care for the plant based ones but the black bean ones are yummy. :)
Last nite, i made samosas with the dough from scratch. I usually buy puff pastry - not traditional but it was quick. Yesterday, I decided to make the dough and it was too much work for the dough after a long day at work and we didn't like it as much. The puff pastry has a fluffy and soft texture. So I won't make samosa dough anymore. I also bought frozen green onion cakes from a local asian supermarket. The last time also was the first time I bought a pack I pan fried it and it did not turn out as good as at the restaurants here. Last nite, i after i deep fried the samosas, i placed a frozen green onion cake into the same oil to cook it and it turned out perfect just like at the restaurants. I rarely deep fry food from frozen because of the water particles interacting with the hot oil and splashes; it scares me. Deep frying is mostly my hubby's job. Anyway, now i can have green onion cakes any time I want. Restaurants charge $4 to $8 per cake. Home based businesses charge about $2/cake. I paid $5.59 for a pack of 4 at the local asian supermarket and now that i've figured out how to cook them i won't be buying them at restaurants :) i have tried making green onion cakes at home and kinda failed because i could not roll the dough out thin enough - i have weak muscles hahahaha.

Yesterday early morning was filled with an appt., then zonking out for about 3 hours once I got back home.
So when I woke up I panicked thinking there was nothing for the guys work meals! Downstairs freezer to the rescue. I had exactly 3
squares of my lasagna in there from Christmas Eve. Thawed them, then filled their glass containers. They were none the wiser.
Homemade pizza tonight.
Both Dh and I were full from our lunches ( the leftover black bean burgers and toppings) so dinner tonight was grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Dh was happy and we’re both full.
Tonight I made a broccoli soup. It was so good and fresh tasting with the addition of dill, etc…

It'll be an early dinner celebration at The Keg for my sister-in-law's birthday!! We reserved a table for 6. Mmmmm.
Originally I was planning on making Dutch Oven Roast Chicken (OH MY GOSH so good) but time got away from me this afternoon and I missed getting it in the oven so plan B it is:
Feta Baked Chicken with Sundried Tomatoes, Lemon Orzo and Roasted Lemon Asparagus.
2 New recipes in one night, who am I (let's be honest I was stressed trying to keep on top of both recipes but I have high hopes).
I'm officially off the hook to cook! DH made his beef barley soup, a batch of spaghetti with meat sauce and there are 2 of my homemade cooked burgers left over from the weekend.
That translates to 3 work meals for the guys. There's lots of fresh veggies, salad options to pair with their main dish. That leaves Friday. I might feel generous by then and rustle them up something...lol.
Split pea and lentil soup
alfredo pasta with turkey and steamed broccoli on the side
Rats, the prepared food we had seems to be running out, so I boiled a batch of frozen perogies up. It served another purpose as I had a full unopened tub of sour cream with a BB of Feb 28th! Luckily it was perfectly fine. Being unopened helped I think. We have 3/4 of a pkg of bacon in the meat drawer, might consider that for a breakfast for dinner option for the guys Friday work meal.
Hubby BBQd some burgers for dinner.
The last 2 nights have not been the best, by the time I was done work, I was done.
But tonight we are back on track, I am making a Dutch Oven Chicken that is OH MY GOSH amazing. I made it a month or so ago, you roast the veggies under the Chicken in the Dutch Oven and coat the Chicken in a Lemon Butter Spread, so so good.
Thinking just because I can, I may also make some Asparagus on the side as well.
Silly me, I sort of promiused the guys a BBQ steak dinner with baked potato and steamed asparagus. That intention was made last night but I am not feeling like cooking in the lousy wet-ish weather. Maybe tomorrow. No one seems especially eager for a large meal atm.
