Rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes and corn. And yummy leftovers for work lunch tomorrow!
Tomato soup and hotdogs
did a slice of the Canadian pizza from pizza nova, expensive but worth the price.
No dinner tonight since we were at the inlays for a family brunch with our newest nephew :-) it was an Indian themed meal and it was delish including the mango chutney that MIL and I made a few days earlier. I brought dessert which was Julia Childs Mousse au chocolat in chocolate ballon cups.
My DH is a certified cook, but hardly ever does any of the cooking. I'm at home full time right now, so I didn't think it fair to ask him to cook when he gets home lol. Turns out I do know how to cook, but I just don't like doing it.
I have a busy day today. So I am going to slow cook some chilli and it will be all ready when I get home later this afternoon. :)
teriyaki beef jerky
..and. I'm on the east coast driving trying to catch a ferry tonight. So will just make it hopefully, so I also p/u a turkey sandwich, pop, chips, 2 chocolate bars, cheery cheese Danish and a couple of timmies to go
I pulled out a package of meat this morning. I'll fry it up into a taco veggie meat thing that I make. Have it with taco chips with marble cheese melted on top, salsa, sour cream, and a glass of milk.
Anyway, when I grabbed this package of lean ground been, that's when I discovered that it is the last layer of lean ground beef in the box, so only 3 more packages in the freezer. I picked it up for $2.25/lb back in January using my saved up club Sobeys points. I currently have more frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts than anything else in the freezer. I'd love some suggestions on how to use them.
Boneless skinless chicken breasts.
- I bake them and use them with a deluxe tossed salad.
- marinated chicken skewers
- chicken mushroom sauce with pasta
- chicken fettuccine Alfredo
- chicken and veggie stirfry
- chicken wraps
- chicken salad sandwich
We were just in PEI, ate out a lot including New Glasgow Lobster Supper, an annual treat. Only place I've ever seen lobster on a kids menu, which DS LOVES.
Cooked dinner at home tonight, ahh! Chicken thighs, with potato and veg, our standard supper, raw veg for DS.
A summer tradition when we leave PEI, we normally stop at one of the roadside potato stands. They are usually self serve on the honor system, put your money in the bin and take your change if needed, and your bag of spuds. This time they were wee new ones, baked them in the oven and yum yum yum!
Chicken - put in the crockpot with salsa, taco seasoning for a few hours (not too long, breasts dry out even in the crockpot). Shred chicken, add refried beans, wrap in tortillas, bake in the oven with cheese and salsa on top.
Angela, are you a fan of Stove Top type boxed stuffing? If so slice through the chicken breast to split it, but do not cut all the way through. Mix up a box of the stuffing but add some of your extra favourite stuff to make it more interesting ( I add diced fried onion, mushroom, celery and toss in dried cranberries ) Do not cook the boxed stuffing, just fill the breast cavity nice and tight all the way along, squeeze in as much as you can.
Then to keep it in there I pat the whole outside of the stuffed breast with wet hands and roll it into my own homemade seasoned crumbs ( but if you like Shake 'n Bake that works too)
Place them ( however many you make on a lightly Pam sprayed cookie sheet, bake 40 min on 350 degrees, then gently try to flip each one over to brown the other side ( cook another 15 min or so )
Let them cool a bit to firm up and then slice crosswise for a beautiful visual of dressing and chicken!! Mmmm darn Angela, now I wanting that for my dinner! lol
Linguini with mushroom sauce, slices of baked ham sauteed a bit, Caesar salad.
Fresh pasta stuffed with spinach and cheese for everyone else...
...gluten free penne with red sauce for myself...which, was amazingly similar in tatse and texture to "real" pasta for a change. (I've been buying corn pasta at Costco which is a poor substitute imo)...so thank you Catelli for making some that actually tastes like pasta!! :)
not sure what I'm making for dinner yet
It was a warm day yesterday and I was tired. I worked a busy evening shift, then went out to Mac's for a hot dog, diet coke, and some Doritos
Last night we had Quiznos, used a coupon.
I also have too much frozen hashbrowns that I would like suggestions on how to use them up.
Hashbrowns
- hashbrown casserole with mushroom soup, sour cream, chopped onion, and grated cheese
- fried hashbrowns
I make breakfast burritos with hashbrowns in them and freeze them for rushed mornings.There are lots of recipes out there on the web for them!
I also use hashbrowns in home made soup..yup they work fantastic and is a time saver when rushed and don't want to slice and dice. Just toss them in what ever soup you make and they are awesome.
Here is an easy soup I make with hashbrowns, I like to add a can of cream of chicken soup or just some bouillon and serve with a dollop of sour cream and cheese! though maybe not today with the temps in the 30's in the west!

I make corn chowder using our family recipe, but I've never tried to make it with frozen hashbrowns. I was wondering if you can use hashbrowns to make mashed potatoes.
I think it could be done Angela the first one does it with shredded hashbrowns!!

Another hot day. A tomato, lettuce, and mayo sandwich. Strawberries and vanilla yogurt.
Tribe chef +Koryn Pickens has made one of my favorites. Our version of a "California Chicken" dish
Honey garlic ribs, rice and veggies. :)
early morning cookoff. Chili is simmering, the guys will probably choose that for dinner. Also made a batch of shirataki noodles mixed with ground beef, onions, Classico 4 cheese sauce, chopped broccoli and baby peas. Cooked up 4 veg as sides. ( beets, green beans, carrots and sweet potatoes )
Well, yesterday my husband surprized me for our anniversary dinner by coming home from work with bags and bags of food!
(we had talked the day before about a restaurant we each had gone to here in the late 70s, early 80s - didn't know each other then. He was brave enough to go and see how things were there this many years later!)
Our son was over as well - husband had gotten three different meals, with different starters and sides, and so we just all divided them up - it was pretty cool!
You know how when you go to some restaurants - even those that are supposedly 'good' ones - and they have frozen meats, like for something like veal cordon bleu (those preformed patty things, ick)? That's usually my biggest nightmare - to have to ask if they have 'real' food, lol!
Anyway, all of the items were made from scratch and fresh!
The soup - I am guessing minestrone - tomato based, amazing broth, different types of beans - including garbanzos which I've never had in soup and they were great, not grainy - veggies, pasta. VG soup, a winner!
Caesar salad - fab dressing!
Garlic bread - yum!
The Gravy - amazing!
The mains - Greek baby back ribs, cutlets, veal cordon bleu - all of them fabulous, perfectly seasoned and cooked!
The sides - baked potatoes - with real bacon, sour cream, butter, green onions; fries; fresh green beans
Considering this was takeout - and from a restaurant all the way across the city - it was all absolutely fabulous! We ate til we were full, and there were still leftovers.
Dessert - husband picked up a variety of squares from a bakery: nanaimo bars, brownies, matrimonial squares, carrot cake, and some sort of amazing square with caramel, apple, nuts and coconut.
This all said - tonight's supper is sandwiches and soup!
^ sounds yummy!! Happy Anniversary!
whew! it's hot here today...I'm in a bit of a tangle just getting back to NFLD last night so a neighbour dropped off an already cooked lasagna and fresh dinner rolls..yum yum, will be able to reheat in the microwave..(I already had a little test taste and it's awesome :-))
Last night was Chicken in Mushroom Soup over Rice.
Tonight I am on my own, would really like to BBQ Sausages but it supposed to rain, if it does not rain sausages on the BBQ if it does rain left over pizza crisped up in the oven.
Indian roasted chicken (done on the BBQ), Parsi rice, super 7 salad and homemade spicy tomato chutney :P
Looks delicious. ^^
Leftover tonight. It was so humid in here yesterday that nobody really felt like eating.
I will make croutons to go with caesar salad, grilled salmon and blueberry pie (store bought).
