WHAT'S FOR DINNER - MARCH 2013

[Kchurchill5]

I agree, I have some too and ground beef ... Count me in for next week.

Kim, yes I plan to try it next week too. My sloppy joes are simmering now. Now all the guys will have to do tonight is bake some tater tots or finish off the potato salad and coleslaw. They will probably opt for the latter. Why "cook" when all you have to do is nuke some meat sauce and you're eating!

I know that. When my son lived here I would leave instructions ... easy, like bake the fries; or cook the pasta. NO WAY. It was nuke and eat! I remember it well,lol

There are so many great chefs here!

Stop back often. We all make different things which can inspire your plans for dinner.

And don't forget, the tag games, and photo forum. Just looking at the food will make you drool. There are some amazing photographers and chefs. Just lots of fun to share and swap ideas and recipes.

We all love to cook ... that is what is most important. Welcome!
We do everything from pancakes and eggs to gourmet dinners.

It is a fantastic mix of people and recipes. Please stop by daily. There are always ideas and recipes here as well as the photo forum, tag games forum; and other areas that will offer fantastic ideas for your dinner that night.

I know, it is chilly HF, I have my sweats on; but if I work out in the yard today ... I'm sure I will be stripping a bit, lol.

Ice cream sounds delish. Love Grand Manier.

Question, what type of chicken do you get. I gave up on the roasters (the big ones); and usually just get the smaller fryer ones. Only 3 lbs usually, but they are actually sweeter to me; and they are almost always under $5. For me, I get leftovers; but for you, you probably wouldn't, but I have found them really good. I know the big roasters are expensive usually.

They are smallish, about the size the rotisserie birds come in. I can often get them for a good price at Whole Foods whenever they have a 2 fresh birds bundle for 11-12. Probably 3-4 pounds. I rarely buy a huge roaster unless it is on sale. I will buy it at any of the local grocery stores, whoever has the best price that week.

We ended up having essentially leftovers and a few odds and ends from the freezer tonight. Never made it to the store today.

Guys will be guys!
Sorry to the men here who love to cook. Some of your kind, don't.

Edited to add: Some of our kind, don't like it either, or don't know how...

[Dissie]

Since its Saturday, and I don't have to work...I still didn't take anything out of the freezer...Probably going to be the buffet at the casino. We are going tomorrow. Need some fun time. Plus I haven't seen dh since Sunday night! This working diff schedules really stinks! He is asleep when I get in and I am asleep when he leaves for work. Then he is still at work when I leave for work. Miss him!

Dis ...

True true on the cooking. My son is stopping over today and I have 3 dishes for him. One is a pot pie, stew, and mac and cheese. And I know he will be mad because they need to be baked, NOT nuked, lol. That means he needs to be patient

But my g/f, I gave some of my mac and cheese to her last week ... she put it in the microwave and tried to cook it. ALUMINUM TIN She is out microwave shopping this weekend
