Hellobee Boards

Last night we had cheese quesadillas (H), black bean/cheese quesadillas (me), and cheese/jalapeno quesadillas (T). Super easy, quick, and didn't heat up my kitchen too badly. We had spaghetti the night before (H did not eat any of it). Tonight we are going to a birthday party and we are having grilled food and cupcakes.

Pulled pork sandwiches and tomato and avocado salad tonight. Frittata tomorrow.

Get a big box of tilapia or cod from Costco. It's always flavorful and we love it. We eat it as fish tacos or just on its own. Toss it in the oven for 20 minutes or so, throw together a steamed veggie and pre-cook a starch for the week (rice, noodles, etc).

We are having salmon cakes, rice and arugula salad. Quick, easy and tasty!

I'm working out a salad with kasha, shredded chicken, and arugula. Maybe walnuts, craisins and/or mandarin oranges, and goat cheese? And a light honey balsamic dressing.

@Foodnerd81: I get the breaded ones so I don't have to defrost and do any real prep work. This tilapia is really good, as is the beer-battered cod.

Kung Pao Chicken with sugar snap peas and green beans from the garden:

Easy stuff because I'm pregnant, in class 15 hours per week, DH just started a new shift at work, we are house hunting like crazy, and it's a million degrees.

Tonight is steak, sweet potato fries (frozen), and roasted zucchini.
Weds: BBQ chicken, rice, broccoli.
Thurs: Pan-fried pork chops, oven fries, roasted carrots and onions.
Fri: Balsalmic glazed salmon, mushroom/onion/spinach sauté, rice.
Sat: DH is out of town so I'm eating frozen pizza
Sun: Pasta with ground venison and veggies

For lunch today we had the Pioneer Woman's cheeseburger salad (but I did not make my own croutons!). Tonight we are having mini cheese ravioli (from Kroger frozen section) with sautéed zucchini and grape tomatoes.

@Foodnerd81: no that is absolutely not too much to ask for and it sounds like a fabulous service that we should have!

We had BBQ lemon chicken, rice, French bread and apple pecan salad

I made this and it is really easy to prep and doesn't take too long to cook. http://www.budgetbytes.com/2014/05/southwest-chicken-skillet/
It's so yummy and it makes a lot so we always have leftovers. The only thing is that whenever I make it, I only let it simmer for about 15-18 minutes....otherwise the rice gets really dry!

Last night: Chicken spaghetti with steamed broccoli (used rotisserie chicken)
Tonight: Fajita burgers with roasted sweet potatoes and corn (pre made frozen burgers seasoned with taco seasoning, a few bell peppers and red onion sauteed, and corn in the husk and sweet potatoes roasted at 425 for 20 minutes. Top the burger with pre-made gauc salsa and the sautéed veggies. Yum.)

@YogiRunner: I don’t follow any recipe and use what I have on hand mostly to make them (which makes them really versitile), but the basic gist is to take leftover salmon (or you can use canned cooked salmon), chunk/”shred” it with a fork and add herbs, something to bind it (bit of mayo if desired or lemon juice, an egg) and then a couple of the following: onion family (any type of onion, scallions, chives, shallots), garlic, minced peppers, capers, etc.

Combine, shape into patties and dredge in panko (or flour and cornmeal), and then either fry until brown on each side or bake until browned on each side (takes about 7 minutes per side to fry up).

Last night’s were the leftover sockeye, shallots, red/yellow pepper, dill, garlic, lemon juice and an egg and dredged in flour and cornmeal because I was out of panko.

I also made a “cheaters” garlic/dill aioli – just sour cream with lemon juice, dill and garlic mixed in.

We had a healthy chopped salad with pistachios, sunflower seeds, tomatoes and cucumbers! DH didn't have time to grill meat!

Taco night!

@yoursilverlining: those look delicious and I love how versatile and easy they are. Thanks!
