something made by someone else cuz I sure as heck am not cooking tonight.
Making crescent rolls stuffed with chicken, onion and cream cheese with a side of grilled zuchini. Easy peasy
Just finished grilling up 10lbs of chicken breasts. What to do with them is another question. Kevin made tacos with about 2 lbs of them. LOL
With everyone having Chili lately, I had a craving for it. So Chili made in the crock pot with sour cream and cheese, Corn bread and tortilla chips.
same here couponcrazy! tonight I'm cooking up a big batch of vegetarian chili with classic chili seasonings and ingredients (tomatoes, onions, garlic, corn, kidney beans, etc) and yves ground round to take place of ground beef. chili flakes and some hot sauce for heat with a few drops of liquid smoke for, well, a smokey flavour... :tongue: sprinkled with some cheese and a dollop of sour cream, mmmm.
got pizza on the way home.
Do any of you gals add cocoa powder to your chili? Oh my....it makes it so....something something....richer, deepens the flavour....try a little in your bowl one day...!
To a big dutch oven type pot, we add about a 1/2C of cocoa.
Nuts, eh? But so good!!!
A dinner of side dishes: mashed potatoes, mushroom soup, garlic bread
You could just freeze batches of them, Patty, so that they're ready for dinner when you are!
I enjoy making "Agnes's Last Stand" (which is normally for left-over turkey) with chicken....
Sliced chicken in a casserole dish, topped with chopped broccoli (or asparagus, etc), then a sauce is made up with a couple of cans of cream of chicken and/or cream of celery soups, a couple of tsps of worcestershire sauce, poured over the chicken and veggies, then topped off with prepared packaged stuffing mix (made up as directed) plopped all over it , then topped up with a can of French's Onions, and baked until bubbly.
Mmmm...very niiice....!:P
Lynn that sounds so good. To bad The Hun will nnot eat anything like that.

The restaurant is described as being "... a destination for celebrities." Well... duh! trucks is going there! :-)

I have a headache from everything so I shall have to write up the whole report later but I had quite the dinner experience @ north 44º ! The main highlight : the chef is mark mcewan. He’s the owner of the new McEwan gourmet grocery store that I have been wanting to visit. I got to meet and chat and got a whole separate dinner made by him since they didn’t have vegetarian options on the menu.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

---double post at this hour?! --
:eek: Yeah.... 17 bucks for a salad?!! 53 bucks for the large steak?!! Does it come with a potatoe? The restaurant must be trying to impress the visitors from the other centre of the universe, New York.
