But everyone has convinced me to try roasting a chicken! I'll test it with DH before serving to guests :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-ideas-needed#post-702275 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:20:45 +0000 mrsmenow 702275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did you go with? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-ideas-needed#post-700994 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:57:31 +0000 sandy 700994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: this is super easy and quick - cold Thai noodle salad. Add some grilled flank steak or shrimp or tofu as your protein. </p> <p><a href="http://www.harpershappenings.com/2012/05/09/vegan-noms-cold-thai-noodle-salad/" rel="nofollow">http://www.harpershappenings.com/2012/05/09/vegan-noms-cold-thai-noodle-salad/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/grilled_marinated_flank_steak" rel="nofollow">http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/grilled_marinated_flank_steak</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-ideas-needed#post-700980 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:47:48 +0000 mrsmenow 700980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here are some ideas!</p> <p><a href="http://addapinch.com/cooking/2013/01/31/grilled-chicken-legs-recipe/" rel="nofollow">http://addapinch.com/cooking/2013/01/31/grilled-chicken-legs-recipe/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/grilled-chicken-breasts-with-lemon-and-thyme?crlt.pid=camp.y8JLQHHLeOtm" rel="nofollow">http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/grilled-chicken-breasts-with-lemon-and-thyme?crlt.pid=camp.y8JLQHHLeOtm</a></p> <p><a href="http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2007/06/summer-calabasitas.h" rel="nofollow">http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2007/06/summer-calabasitas.h</a></p> <p>ETA: The turkey is probably the easiest thing to cook at thanksgiving, no joke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-ideas-needed#post-700969 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:42:04 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 700969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>roast chicken is super easy!! i used to be intimidated too, but recently tried it for the first time 2 months ago, and it is one of the tastiest, easiest staples on our menu now.</p> <p>i follow this recipe - <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Juicy-Roasted-Chicken/Detail.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Juicy-Roasted-Chicken/Detail.aspx</a> - but the cooking time is about 30-min longer than listed. i put whole garlic cloves, butter, lemon slices, and celery in the cavity. delish!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-ideas-needed#post-700967 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:40:24 +0000 aprk 700967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: the ones I've bought have the innards inside in a bag. Just pull em out and toss em! Also we've done the chicken in a slow cooker before too. Even simpler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-ideas-needed#post-700961 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:37:13 +0000 Weagle 700961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: Are there innards that I would need to clean out? Honestly, that's pretty much why I've never volunteered to cook the Thanksgiving turkey :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-ideas-needed#post-700956 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:35:09 +0000 aprk 700956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: yes :) it sounds more complicated than it is! We just do salt and pepper on the thawed chicken, in the oven for ~2 hours. Low maintenance but impressive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-ideas-needed#post-700951 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:31:26 +0000 Weagle 700951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: As of yesterday, yes, it is warm enough to grill :). Maybe we'll do that since DH would be in garage if part if the meal. And it's fast! There's very little prep time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-ideas-needed#post-700948 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:28:53 +0000 mrsmenow 700948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: Maybe grilled chicken breasts,mixed grilled veggies and rice. Do you live somewhere warm enough to grill yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-ideas-needed#post-700945 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:27:05 +0000 Weagle 700945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: Like, a whole chicken? I have no clue how to do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-ideas-needed#post-700939 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:23:32 +0000 aprk 700939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Roast chicken with quinoa? Super easy and a crowd pleaser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-ideas-needed#post-700918 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:09:08 +0000 Weagle 700918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have company coming over for dinner tomorrow, and I have nothing planned! I just keep putting it off. It needs to be something quick because we have playgroup tomorrow and I need to run to the store for ingredients. Plus, the wife is a super healthy eater. Ideas? </p>
