I think I'll make dinner tonight...???

Question

Something I rarely do! Any good suggestions???

Answer 1

I hate trying to figure out what to cook! On nights when I want a quick meal, I'll cook some bow tie pasta, add some onions, green peas, chopped ham, broccoli, tomatoes, and toss it with some fat free Ranch dressing...yummy.

I also like to put a tiny bit of EVOO in a pan, sautee some garlic & mushrooms, add some shrimp for 3-5 minutes, add some fresh tomatoes (ok, canned if you must), and let simmer on low while you cook some angel hair pasta or rigotoni (my fav).

We like pasta, can you tell?

I make a kick booty meatloaf, too, if anyone wants the recipe. It has a sweet and sour sauce on top that is yummy!

We have a Food Lion, too! I never go there, though. Here's a real Southern one for ya..Piggly Wiggly. I haven't seen one of those since I moved from Alabama.

Answer 2

Jacket taters, sausage rolls and black pudding, enjoy.  lol

Answer 3

Mmmmmm...spaghetti sounds delicious. And Red Bird got me craving couscous. Yum!

I vote spaghetti, corn, and some kind of rolls. Simple, but very elegant. Light a candle for some added effect. :)

Answer 4

italian chicken and veggies

Answer 5

Mix together one packet alfredo sauce and one packet pesto. Then serve with linguine.  

Answer 6

Milly you food thief!!! :P  I heart taters and sausage rollies. Aw man, craving now.

Pork chops and seasoned veggies? That's what I'm having!! (And some lovely couscous too)

Oh wow just been informed refrigerator cake for pudding. Yippee!

>> Jen, you are once again correct! :) Dessert, I'm sorry. It's basically crushed rich tea biccies, butter, golden syrup, melted choc all mixed together, and shoved in the fridge for 4 hours... it's so amazing! (But not for the diet-conscious hehe).

Jen, I will send it by e-mail... it's a secret recipe!! :D

(Well.. I like to think so. Someone in my family made it up, so it's an Ashman cake really!)

Answer 7

spaghetti and meat sauce with garlic bread and red wine

Answer 8

have you ever gotten food from Red hot and Blue? well i would go with a dinner like that maybe some potato salad, bbQ chicken, and maybe some baked beans. yumm

Answer 9

Chicken salad with some sort of pasta dish, i.e. parma rosa, pesto, etc. on thin spaghetti or a curly pasta. Mix sprite and a juice to drink.

Or you could substitute the pasta for some sort of mexican dish, like chicken mole or just a simple burrito with parsley and pureed salsa.

Answer 10

I like to get spicy Italian Sausages, grill 'em up until they have a nice crispy outside, and put that with the fresh tortellini you find in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. Toss with pesto, and voila! Dinner!

Now that you've got me thinking about dinner... Fajitas sound very yummy... with home made guacamole, grilled onions and peppers, and fresh tortillas!!!(with top secret marinade, of course!) (We actually just did fajitas for my oldest daughter's birthday a few days ago! I can't get enough of them!)

ADD: I don't think we have a Trader Joe's here! I've heard of them, but never been to one. (Heard nothing but good things from family that lives in VA.) When we do fajitas, we always get skirt steak (best cut of beef to do fajitas with) and we do beef, because we eat chicken and ground turkey and fish all the time. Beef is always a special treat! Best way to marinate it that we have found is: 2 parts soy sauce, 1 part pineapple juice, and a bit of water. Add season all or we use tony chachere's (don't know if other places have it) just before grilling. Makes for excellent taste!

And that refrigerator cake does sound quite yummy! I have a weakness for sweets.

Answer 11

Polish sausage, sauerkraut & fried potatoes!  :)  (that is what I am having)

Answer 12

Grilled salmon and veggies, that's what we are having

Answer 13

spaghetti...simple

salad

and garlic bread!!

ADD: I wish I knew what we are doing for lunch, Mason called and told me to get dressed up kinda and be ready at 2...Im Ready!!

OR, you could order out, put all the stuff in pots, pretend to cook it, then make him clean up, they will never suspect it!

make sure to hide the evidence!!

Oh, ok then..grilled chicken with a garlic cream sauce

roasted rosemary potato chunks

and greens

I love this site...
