So what's on the menu tonight?

[miagi's_mommy]

I just had a lunchable.

 

[Winchester]

Last night, I tried a new recipe with sliced chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and onions sauteed, then simmered in broth and white wine. Served over pasta. I made sauteed asparagus to go with. Good stuff.

Tonight I'm trying a new recipe for pork chops with basil and lemon. And I'm going to roast some fresh cauliflower. And we'll have a nice salad with it.

Last night, I baked asparagus and portabella mushrooms with a slight creole seasoning and put some wild caught Alaskan Sockeye salmon on the George Forman with a little Pike Street Market fish seasoning.

Tonight, I am going to cook up some artichokes and roast a bit of garlic. The artichoke leaves will be dipped in nacho cheese sauce and the cloves of roasted garlic will go on top of crackers.

All-righty then! Here you go. This recipe is from Light & Tasty 2006.

Chicken Breasts with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (I used 3/4 cup)
1 green onion, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup fat-free milk (I used half milk and half white wine)
Hot cooked pasta, optional

Bring 1/2 cup broth to a boil; remove from the heat. Stir in
sun-dried tomatoes; let stand for 10 minutes. In a large nonstick
skillet coated with cooking spray, saute the mushrooms, onion and 1
teaspoon garlic for 1 minute. Stir in the remaining broth; cook 2
minutes longer or until mushrooms are tender. Remove mushroom
mixture and set aside.

Rub chicken with remaining garlic. In the same skillet, brown chicken
in oil for 3 minutes on each side. Stir in tomato mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until
chicken juices run clear. Remove chicken; slice and keep warm.

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, basil, salt and pepper. Stir
in milk until smooth; add to tomato mixture. Bring to a boil; cook
and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in mushroom
mixture. Spoon over chicken. Serve with pasta if desired. Yield: 4
servings.

Mmm, Winchester that sounds good!

Tonight was re-runs of my birthday dinner from last night: roast chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce, baked potato, ceasar salad and fresh ciabatta.

 

[cococat]

Black bean burgers and homemade sweet potato fries.

 

[wellingtoncats]

I just had fillings so my mouth is too numb to eat but once the numbness subsides I'll be having a mince savoury and a corned beef and pickle sarnie for lunch.

Not sure about dinner yet - maybe some pasta salad.

 

[natalie_ca]

Baked Potato, grilled Talapia and some kind of veggie. I think I have brussel sprouts in the fridge.

 

[rapunzel47]

It's only 4 o'clock and I'm starving reading this thread. For us it'll be ham tonight -- ham patties, unless there's less ham left than I think. Yam fries and a salad to go with them, probably.

 

[trouts mom]

Tonight I made steak with gravy, onions and mushrooms with some basmati rice. It was so good.

 

[doctorspepper2]

I had tacos.

 

[blueyedgirl5946]

Fried shrimp and flounder. We had collards, boiled potato, and dumplings with the seafood. I know that sounds weird, but we like it.

 

[sharky]

butternut squash ravioli with asparagus

 

[kluchetta]

Homemade Macaroni & Cheese with whole wheat macaroni!

Thanks, pushylady. But actually, I'd take your dinner in a minute, especially the ceasar salad. I love ceasar salad. Mmmmmm

We're going to make sloppy joes with ground turkey tonight. Has to be quick and easy because DH bowls early. And a salad.

Has anybody tried the 100-calorie sandwich buns? There are a couple kinds around here; one is Pepperidge Farm, another is from Arnold's. They're quite good, they have extra fiber, and when I need a "bread fix," they work well.

 

[cococat]

Making sushi and miso soup, I can't wait until dinner.

 

[pushylady]

Tonight was leftover rice with veal scallopine and steamed brocoli.
Must make some more bread tomorrow. I have a hankering for something really soft and buttery.

Oooh! I just remembered I bought these little Italian ice cream thingies for dessert! Yay!

 

[c1atsite]

pesto tortellini

and - something else. don't know what yet
