Last night leftovers take your pick, chili or pasta. I love a no cook night especially on Tuesday because my son's swimming lesson are from 5:30 to 7 it's an awkward time. But it is my power shopping hour. LOL
I'm feeling like breakfast for dinner tonight too. We'll see how the day goes.
Last night we had BBQ'd steak & mushrooms with white rice and broccoli. And a side of Pepsi for DH.
MINI BRAG: I just have to share my new countertop with you (ie background) The best part was the shop cut a piece of the countertop the wrong size 64" instead of 72". We received a replacement so when I went to take the shorter piece back to the store, I asked the lady what they would be doing with the piece and if they would be selling it. I told her I would be interested in getting it to use as a cutting board. She told me to keep it for the inconvenience of having to reorder another piece.
Soo, DH just has to trim one angled side and I will have a cutting board about 39" long. Can't wait to make shortbread this Christmas!

Hey very nice but what about a wider shot for the whole reno thing? LOL Are we nosy, or what? Maybe I should start another thread about home reno projects and people can post those too. Seems like everyone I know is always up to their eyeballs in renos.
Wow if you guys keep posting pics like these I think the Food Network is going to come knockin'
Mmmm that broccolli looks awesome!
Last night I made some sort of...quiche...thing. I don't know. Chicken and bacon and frozen veggie mix in a casserole bowl, added shredded cheese, topped with an egg/milk thing I put in the blender. baked at 350 for about 40mins.
Turned out pretty good considering I didn't know what I was doing!
(no photo because everyone ATE it :( how rude. )
I had to attend a birth last night so dinner for me was what about 10 sample sized luna bars eaten quickly in the corner.
wow about the counter top/cutting board that's great!
Gonna make an idiot-proof dish tonight, cause I`m a...nevermind. :lolsign: I just cook for the brats & me, so my culinary skills leave something to be desired. Here`s the recipe if you want something quick, cheap & tasty.
Paprikas Potatoes
1 med onion, chopped
4 potatoes, peeled & cubed
3 sausages, sliced thinly
1 tsp paprika (mild or hot)
1 pepper, cored, in large pieces (mild or hot)
2 tbsp oil
Saute onion in oil in a large pot.
When onions are translucent, add paprika & stir.
Turn down heat to medium.
Add potatoes, sausage & pepper.
Add 1 cup water.
Stir.
Cover pot & let simmer for roughly 45 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
Serves 4.
Check after 20 minutes, you may need to add a bit more water. You should have a bit of sauce left in the end. It`s a good excuse to have some nice fresh bread in the house to sop up the sauce. :) It also freezes well - I make a big batch, then have food for when I don`t have time or energy to cook.
Add a salad for a complete meal, or you can use it as a side dish. You can use any kind of sausage, I`ve even made it with hot dogs. :P Of course, I have to add an extra hot dog or 2 when I cook, since I have to share with the ravenous beasties. :lolsign:
Tonight is just sausages on a bun with potato salad and garden salad. Minimal cooking for the pregnant lady who feels like her baby is about to drop out today :(
sounds good andit!!
OOOO just found this thread! i LOVE to cook. Will have to start taking pics of notable dishes for you all! ;)
Not sure what I'll be having tonight as it's my late night getting home (have to go ride my horse after work, so won't be home until 7:30). Last night's meal was pretty good though :) Grilled some chicken breasts on the bbq, also made a foil pack of cubed up potatoes w/ a bit of olive oil, garlic, thyme, and oregano.. cut tomatoes in half and topped with extra old cheese and grilled them on the bbq too. Also had a nice salad with a simple dressing of herb dijon mustard, red wine vinegar and olive oil. mmmmmmmm it was tasty ;)
mmmmmm
