What's For Dinner?

[SassyAshley]

Decided to have Dumplings tonight, I think deep-down it is because I am craving take-out and this feels like a take-out meal.

We will have both Chicken and Beef Dumplings (I buy the huge bags from Costco when they go on sale) and we will make homemade Chicken Fried Rice on the side. I will also have some cucumbers in Rice Wine Vinegar.

Making a pot of beef stew. Managed to pick up .326 kg of stewing beef for $3.00 on markdown!

i made tomato soup for the first time after seeing posts about it on FB
roughly chopped roma tomatoes, some yellow and red bell peppers, garlic, onion, oil, salt and pepper. Everything on a lined baking sheet then into the oven.
in a pot i added some chicken soup, baby carrots and club house italian seasonings.
once the roasted vegs are done i transferred them into the pot with the carrot and chicken broth. Then i used a hand held immersion blender to blend everything up. I just eye balled all the ingredients and seasoned to my taste.
topped the soup with some croutons
it was yummy

October 1 means I am back on my plan to eat healthy....because 'beach food' set me back this summer.

Tonight is homemade butterbut squash soup (that I made yesterday), Jamaican jerk boneless/skinless chicken breast, and steamed mixed vegetables.

@Purdee your soup sounded so delicious! Roasting the veg is a must for flavour. Mmmm.
The guys have simple ( canned ! Blecht! ) soup and a bun today for work. This was their choice.
I made a very flavourful warm pasta salad this morning. Boiled up fusilli and penne, added sauteed garlic,
diced white and green onion, stop light peppers, celery and grated carrot.
Added S & P, Cool Runnings seasoning , everything Bagel seasoning from Trader Joe's, dried basil and little
bit of dried crushed chili flakes. EVOO and Apple cider vinegar to dress. Last minute added a small sprinkle
of white sugar to cut the vinegar taste.
Will cook up burgers tonight and that will be their work meal for Wednesday. Way better than canned soup.

Leftover beef stew I think.

The guys are taking the last of the burgers and pasta salad in for work today, not sure what they will crave for Friday's meal? I've been on a strange perogy kick. Ate them for both lunch and dinner one day. Our furnace got turned on last night for the first time! ( brand new furnace ). Good thing DH told me what the burning smell was as I was freaking out.
It really stunk too!

I am off the hook for Friday's work meal! The guys are buying Mary Browns on the way in. I have 2 lg trays of burger thawing to make 2 different things.
The first is a Mexican Taco Meatloaf and the other is a Hamburger Green Bean Casserole. Both total comfort dishes for the weekend.

I'll be right over WOB-I like the sound of the hamburger green bean casserole.

Going to make Beef Stroganoff over Egg Noodles and some sort of veggie.

Only fresh option is Zucchini (the stroganoff will have mushrooms in it) so will pull something out of the freezer, I have broccoli, carrots and cauliflower in the freezer.
