I always enjoy this question - to get ideas!
Tonight we had leftover Thai food. SO good!
-
Hubs is making fajitas! mmm I can't wait!
-
Pulled pork, ribs, and wings!
-
Stir fry - which for me means throw all the leftover veggies from the week with whatever sauces/spices are around. Sometimes it's delicious, sometimes it's OK, surprisingly it isn't usually a disaster
-
Tilapia, kale mixed with cannellini beans and bacon, and brown rice.
-
My husband brought me home soup and a smoothie from Panera which I am ecstatic about because I'm feeling too tired to cook tonight.
-
@andrea: Mmmm.. I love tilapia. How do you cook yours?
-
@banana: today i did it in the slow cooker, so yummy. how about you?

@twodoghouse: I can't get enough Panera lately. I really like the broccoli cheddar soup.
-
We're going out for Mexican! YAY! I cannot stomach the idea of cooking and the only thing that sounds good right now are tacos. I can't wait!
Regarding tilapia, this is my all time favorite tilapia recipe!

@andrea: I just do a really simple lemon garlic sauce. I got my original recipe from here and then modified it a little (added more lemon and more garlic):

I've never owned a slow cooker. Is it a must have kitchen item?
-
@running elley: Oh yum on the tilapia recipe. Do you make that berry salsa too?
-
@banana: I do! At first DH was a little iffy about it (not too adventurous when it comes to new foods) but we both LOVE it. It really pulls together the whole thing.
-
@Running Elley: I can never have enough Mexican food. That sounds really yummy. I think it's a staple in CA. lol
-
@mrskc: That one's my favorite too!
-
@twodoghouse: You make me want some now. lol I think I've had it once a week for the last few weeks.
-
@Andrea: oooh your meal is so healthy!!
@Running Elley: I love going out for Mexican. Are you going to a local place?
@mrskc @twodoghouse: oooh Panera! Yes, their broccoli cheese soup is the best! I also love their ceaser salad! -
@mrskc: Seriouslyyy. I could eat it every night. Luckily DH doesn't have a problem with that! We had tacos last night too....but at least I made them at home and I don't think they count as mexican (buffalo chicken!).
-
@mediagirl: Yepp! Our very favorite! They *just* opened up a new one closer to our house so I'm really excited to check it out! @mrskc: @mrskc: Their black bean soup is amazing too!!! Love Panera.
-
@banana: i love that way, too! simple and classic. I LOVE MY SLOW COOKER!! it has been life changing. please get one!
@Running Elley: wow, sounds so delicious. i must try that!
@mediagirl: well, last night it was a tater tot casserole so i had to do something healthy tonight. haha.
-
@Running Elley: I don't know if you're familiar w/ Kern County, but I work in Wasco and Mexican is pretty much the only option here. I love it though. Have a good time tonight!
-
@mrskc: I totally know where Wasco is! It's a pretty good option to have
I'd definitely miss Chinese though!
-
@andrea: Ok. I'm totally gonna look into slow cookers. Never knew what they were for before (like what the benefits were). My family never used one when I was growing up so I was never around them much. Gonna do some research now!
-
@banana: i had no clue either until about a year ago and now i think they are genius!
-
Today was MIL and FIL's anniversary and they invited us to go eat Mexican with them! yummy!
-
We had cajun creamy pasta with chicken. Since being pregnant cant get enough spice!!!
-
We had ham and scalloped potatoes!
-
I have some Korean ribs in the crockpot for hubby, but I'm going out to dinner with a friend a little later. I'm super excited to stuff my face and have some me time!
-
Leftovers! Chicken parm that I made for lunch.
-
We are making spaghetti and garlic bread.
-
We had meatloaf with a brown sugar/ketchup glaze (is this a normal thing? It's the only recipe I've ever even bothered to look at...), red potatoes mashed with buttermilk and freshly grated parmesan cheese, and a spinach salad (spinach, dried cranberries, diced apples, toasted walnuts and feta cheese with a balsamic honey vinaigrette).
I'm so happy the First Trimester Coma has ended and my appetite has returned.
-
I got my dinner from pinterest- super easy. I made crescent rolls with turkey and cheese in them and tator tots. Dinner was ready from prep to eating in 15 minutes.
-
Same thing as everyday: quinoa with carrots and broccoli with a side of pineapple and blueberries.
This week is exciting because I got to add kidney beans into the mix! Yumm. I've just been mixing everything together because I mine as well when it's only a few things.
-
ordered ramen from the neighborhood japanese restaurant!
-
I'm getting ideas for dinner number two here : )
BIL made steak, broccolini, and fries....then I had an ice cream sandwich. Now I'm hungry again though!
-
I had an evening presentation at work tonight, so I put beef stroganoff in the crockpot. Sooooooo good!
-
Leftover night. Beef stroganoff!
-
Homemade chili with some avocado on top.
-
Before work I put two frozen pork steaks in the crock pot and covered them with cream of chicken soup. When we got home, Hubs made some rice and I whisked flour into the soup bits (after removing the meat) to make a gravy. We had rice topped with pork steak and gravy. I'll admit that I was lazy and didn't add a veggie, but it's easy to toss broccoli into this right before it's done.
-
The day before last, I cooked a Filipino dish called "Paksiw" for the first time. I was supposed to use banana blossoms but used lily blossoms instead. It turned out really well! I sauteed pork with garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, then added brown sugar, vinegar and the lily blossoms in the end.
Last night, I experimented some more and used a forgotten leek in the fridge and what was leftover of bamboo shoots I had stored. It was a coconut milk soup with fish, ginger, garlic, leeks, tomato, and shrimp paste. It wasn't great, but edible. I know where I went wrong (I needed a bolder flavor fish), use onion instead of leeks, and use a salty shrimp paste instead of the sweet one I had. DH will have a few frozen lunchboxes. Hehe.
