Something that incorporates chicken -- which we haven't had for a couple of weeks -- and pesto -- of which I made a whole bunch yesterday -- and maybe green beans -- since they are coming on again -- and not pasta -- which we had last night.
Just simple and easy tonight. FH didn't think he'd be home until late (which he still isn't home) so we decided on hot dogs, french fries, and a salad.
was on the road at supper time, so just now I grabbed supper:
Yogurt and a banana

The chicken got sauteed. The beans -- not too many yet -- got steamed. A few new potatoes got boiled. They all got tossed with pesto and piled on the house lightly dressed greens and cherry tomatoes. It was quite successful. I was instructed "You can do THAT again!" We finished the meal off with a few squares of Lindt Orange Intense and another couple of mouthfuls of wine.
Sounds good Wendy. I don't even mind the cat hair.Originally Posted by pushylady
Panfried mahi mahi with sweet potato oven fries, zuccini and tomatoes, and steamed carrots. And cat hair, the obligatory accessory here.
Fran, I really, really, NEED to visit you for gastronomic pleasure as well as good company.

I've had popcorn -on the couch with my book- for supper the last two nights. I'm on vacation so don't need to worry about eating right and having energy the next day....is my excuse
Say the word. It'd be a blast!
I'm coming too!
I always feel somewhat abashed after reading about the efforts people put into dinner when I only do that once or twice a week. Tonight was Indian from a box and rice. Washed down with St Ambroise apricot ale which DH's work buddy bought back from Quebec. The beer was definitely the highlight of the meal.
Whole wheat pasta with homemade tomato sauce made with garlic, fresh basil, white wine and tuna. Spring mix salad with cherry tomatoes on the side.
I got hubby to pick up some tortilla shells on his way home, meanwhile I fried up some onions and mushrooms, chopped some of our tomatoes from the garden and cut the leftover BBQ'd chicken from Sunday into strips and with a three cheese mix of grated cheese over the top, rolled up and mmmmm, mmmmmm good. Hubby made an extra to take to work with him tomorrow.
Oooh, I always like the sound of the things you put together Wendy. They sound good to me.Originally Posted by pushylady

Restaurant dinner:
DH: bbq chicken sandwich
DD: kids meal of grilled cheese and fries
ME: fettucine with chicken and mushrooms (couldn't finish it)
everything was oh so yummy.

But, Wendy, "Indian from a box" can be very tasty, and I'm the last person to poo-poo a box if it's decent. Yeah, I want to be able to pronounce everything on the ingredients list and have most of it on hand most of the time, but beyond that, convenience does matter. The beer sounds pretty nice, too.Originally Posted by pushylady

Those are some serious yums, too.
I made some ham and cheese rolls on Sunday. We had them for lunch yesterday, and will again tomorrow. Tonight we'll have them with a good dose of salad -- greens, avocado, cherry toms. Easy, easy dinner tonight.
We got some little yellow "cherry" tomatoes at the market a couple weeks ago and I didn't get the name. They were absolutely wonderful tasting little beggers. They only had them the one week - pity! I'm more partial to the grape tomatoes than the cherry tomatoes.Originally Posted by rapunzel47
