My mother in law made pork and veggie skewers, baked potatoes and buns (store bought buns though). I didn't eat a bun and had a very small slice of cake for dessert.

I'm going to make sausage and pepper pasta.
Nice.
It's a busy night tonight.
I had a coupon for a Bon Appetit frozen pizza and they were on sale last night for less than $4, so Rick said to buy one. That will probably be our dinner tonight as I won't have a lot of time to cook. We don't know what they're like or how filling they are.

I add chicken to it.
Pork chops, either mashed potatoes or another side dish and spinach.
Chicken but I'm not sure how yet.

Also chicken, sweet carrots and french fries !
I took my chicken breasts, ground them up and made chicken burgers. I had mine on just half a bun so it was "open face" and some cucumber with it.

I think tonight will be chicken fajita salads.
Golden vegetable soup and baked potatoes.
Burgers. We have two left from Sunday and couldn't refreeze them since the ground beef had already been frozen once. So we stuck the burgers in the fridge and Rick will grill them tonight. I'm making salads to go with the burgers.
tomato soup, and cheese and crackers.
Haven't decided yet between white turkey chili or turkey meatloaf.
ETA: I just went to allrecipes.com and found this. We have taco shells in the pantry. I'm thinking of making this, chopping up some lettuce and tomatoes for salad, putting this overtop the salad, then sprinkling a bit of Monterey Jack cheese and crunching up some taco shells to top it all off.
Southwestern-Flavored Ground Beef or Turkey for Tacos & Salad (from allrecipes.com)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 large onion, chopped
1-1/2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey
1/2 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons cornmeal
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet until shimmering. Add onion; sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, oregano and cumin; sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beef or turkey and cook, stirring often, until it loses its raw color. Stir in tomatoes; simmer to blend flavors, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in cornmeal; cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens, almost instantly. Serve warm for dinner as tacos or taco salad. Serves 5.
NOTE: Since I haven't made it yet, I think I will add more spices to the mix. More cumin, more chili powder, more garlic. And I'm thinking of throwing a bit Spanish paprika in, too, just for a hint of smokiness.
So that's dinner tonight, I believe. I love it when I find a recipe and have everything in the pantry to try it out.
