Chicken leftovers from last night, just baked thighs. Rice and veg with 'em.
For Lunch today I made my light version of a ham and cheese quiche - skip the crust, and substitute fat-free yogurt for the cream. I also had a salad of romaine, red onion, red bell pepper, avocado, and lite feta cheese with my homemade vinaigrette.
This was more like a linner...aka. lunch-dinner!
The weather finally got up to the 20's here and I had some left over Chinese noodles.
I ate them cold, just added Kraft's Asian Sesame dressing to it and condiments like garlic chili paste!

Potato salad and cold cuts
I made a chicken and sauteed shallot pizza. Easy peasy since I have been on the run/road since 5am!
I don't know what we are having for supper yet. We have way more frozen chicken breasts than we do hamburger right now, so chicken it will be. Just not sure what yet...
I made pork kabobs on the bbq. I recycled this crockpot recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pork-Ch...e-Slow-Cooker/ (it also works great in the crockpot). I chopped my pork into cubes last night and put them in this, and tonight I threaded the pork onto skewers and grilled. DS loved it just as much as he does the crockpot version, he ate more of it than I did! :)
I've made that recipe several times now, and have followed the advice of reviewers who said to reduce the soy sauce to 1/4 cup.
broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken breast, broccoli with old cheese melted on top, and carrots. This is technically both lunch and supper today since I was on a set that didn't feed us like they were supposed to grrr...my actual "lunch" was two chocolate bars so doesn't count!
Tonight I made greek food from scratch. Even the hummus. I'll post details in my cooking album later too!! :)
I decided to use up some stuff before it went bad. I cooked 2 chicken breasts with pre-cut coleslaw mix, pasta sauce (frozen from a different meal), garlic powder, and worcestershire sauce. Served with rice and a glass of milk. It was pretty good.
bought a hotdog from a street vendor on the way home
asked for well done and it was still not hot inside
didn't taste good, something was off
Tonight I'm making homemade pizza and watching the sens game! :)
It's been a crazy week (no hot water since last weekend - hopefully today) - all dishes and pots are dirty! Confession: every second day has been takeout because of all this. It gets really old heating water on the stove just to do dishes - argh!
Anyway, supper tonight will be eggplant - I make it like schnitzel, lightly breaded and fried crispy. I need to find something to go with - maybe potato wedges? Not sure yet. Something for which we can eat off paper plates and not need cutlery, lol!
That really sucks, Natalka! I hope you get your hot water back!
I am going to have cedar planked salmon and some sort of veggies for dinner today!
DH ate a late lunch yesterday so it was dinner for one :) I warmed the chick thighs that I cooked in a bbq kinda sauce and served on a whole wheat bun with a light sprinkle of cheddar cheese on top.
Tonight DH and I are headed to downtown Vancouver and having dinner at Griffins atThe Fairmont http://www.fairmont.com/hotel-vancou...ning/griffins/ It's paid for by one of his suppliers so YAY!!!! Now I'm off to take a sneak peak at the menu :P
Turkey, dressing with gravy and cranberry sauce
I made more grilled pork kabobs for tomorrow's supper. DS is running a 4K race tomorrow, I figure by the time we get home we're gonna be tired and I won't want to cook! They're very yummy. And kids love eating food off a stick. :)
I made ribeye, baked potatoes, broccolini and grilled zucchini. Dessert was a strawberry shortcake filled with pastry cream and whipped cream.
Last night we had dry garlic ribs (from our local butcher; they are yummers), pasta with mushroom sauce, steamed carrots, and salad.
Tonight, husband is going for a banquet, so my son and I will order out from somewhere.
The plan was to replace the one backyard fence that fell over during the winter, so I bought extra food for BBQ to feed the guys while they work, but the weather seems like it wants to stay damp, and almost rainy?? Oy! Might have just a BBQ and no work done this w/e. lol
The plan tonight is chicken parmesan & curried rice,
It doesn't belong together, but it does taste nice,
My dh can make his famous green salad,
As Loocie cooks whilst singing a ballad,
There's just enough carrot cake for our dessert,
& we've run out of maple walnut ice cream, so I'll send an alert.
:) :) :) :)
^Running out of ice cream in our house would be an emergency too!
Slicing up leftover steaks that we had last night and making an oriental Beef and broccolli stirfry spooned over some sticky rice.
I'm going to have tomato soup, butter buns, a left over piece of chicken and a sour cherry pop. Yahoo!
Hot Dogs with Homemade Broccoli Salad and Chips and Dip. Not the best meals but guess this is what happens when you put yourself back to bed and take an afternoon nap.
mashed potatoes, barbecued pork chops and some veggie, haven`t decided yet.
We just finished eating supper. It is a cooler day today, so I decided to use the oven. I peeled and roasted several heads of garlic that I purchased on sale (still have 2/3 bag of garlic to deal with...quit when my fingers were hurting). Used some of the roasted garlic cloves to make a sour cream dip for the home made potato wedges. Baked sweet potato, baked white potato, chicken breasts. Boiled carrots.
We let LO feed himself small pieces of chicken and carrot. He had quite a bit of it in his lap when I went to clean him up. He preferred the chicken...interesting since he's not so sure about it in its pureed form. He was also offered some mashed potatoes, both sweet and white...but he didn't want them. I make all of his baby food and he has had all of these foods before. He only has 2 teeth, so feeding himself is relatively new.
I found another great Quinoa recipe. This recipe is taken from the Clean Eating Magazine Apr-May 2013 issue page 28-29. You can find the recipe on the website here. I was not able to find unsweetened cranberries so I lowered the amount of maple syrup used in the dressing.
Here is a comment the author mentions, "I love the flexibility of this salad - you can easily change the ingredients according to your mood or whats in season. Try it with chopped apples, pears, and oranges or dried apricots and pine nuts!"
