Valerie, the lemon grass vermicelli sounds amazing!

Tonight is the first night I've cooked in almost 2 weeks. Last week we were using up lots of leftovers, and I've had a bad cold this week so Paul was cooking. He fed us egg noodles with canned vegetarian chili one night, and steamed rice with an Indian curry packet from Trader Joe's another night. The other nights we had things like apple sauce, cottage cheese and brussels sprouts for dinne- weird, I know.

Anyway, tonight I finally cooked dinner again. Nothing fancy. I cooked 5 slices of maple honey bacon in the skillet, removed the bacon, and cooked about 10 ounces of frozen shredded potatoes in the grease. Sprinkled with seasoned salt and cracked in 4 eggs. Stirred it up, let it set, sprinkled with the crumbled bacon and some white cheddar, then covered until the cheese melted. We put it in tortillas to make breakfast burritos and also had steamed broccoli. Half of the potato stuff is leftover for dinner tomorrow or Friday night.
 
Ackkkk!
Nobunny's been eating for a month?????:shock:

Tonight we had pasta with chicken and alfredo sauce.

We breaded and baked chicken cutlets, cut them up, added it to pasta (gemelli), and poured on the alfredo sauce.

Yum!

:biggrin2:
 
Jim, you're my hero for bringing the thread back! I've been wanting to post in it but I haven't cooked anything noteworthy. Your dinner sounds amazing. Paul is geeking out at a friend's house tonight (playing computer games) so I'm having leftover pasta in pesto sauce. In fact, the microwave just beeped. I'm probably going to have tomatoes with pomegranate vinegar too.
 
Just had a simple tea tonight.....southern chicken tenders with salad and french dressing....i will take some of that to work tomorrow as well for lunch.
 
Yesterday I made healthy tuna noodle casserole. My mom is trying to loose weight so I'm in charge of cooking healthier meals. She has been craving tuna casserole but we aren't eating "white carbs" so regular pasta is a no no.

I went out and bought whole wheat pasta(7g fiber per serving!), and mixed in lots of veggies(red peppers,celery,mushrooms,broccoli), a can of tuna and a can of mushroom soup. I left off the cheese topping and instead sprinkled a tiny bit of bread crumbs to give it a crispy topping. It was really good. I kind of missed the cheese topping but its worth reducing calories where I can. My mom loved it!

I also made sutffed mushrooms to go along with it. We had these big muchrooms in the fridge, so I chopped up the stems, mixed in some onion,celery,bread crumbs, and a bit of parmesan cheese. Moistened with a bit of chicken stock and stuffed it into the mushroom caps.
 
With the weather getting colder, and the time change, I haven't much felt like cooking. I've been eating whatever is easy and quick.

Last night was a can of Amy's Organic Vegetarian Chili.
Tonight was a noodle dinner-thing from Target. The Creamy Parmesan Porcini flavor, and I added some sliced button mushrooms that I sauteed. Served along with a bag of Garlic Caesar salad.

Nothing spectacular.

I did have Tim Tams for dessert, though. :)
 
I made roasted turkey legs, roasted carrots, and roasted potatoes. I've always wanted to buy turkey legs and finally did. A pack of 6 legs was only $4.50. I rubbed them with olive oil, kosher salt, pepper blend, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, and baked them along with potatoes and carrots that were also tossed in oil and herbs for about an hour and 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Everything turned out delicious! When I was growing up, my mom would make a dish with the same herbs except she used chicken breasts and red potatoes, no carrots. It was called Simon and Garfunkel Chicken and Potatoes:D

I realize it was kind of redundant to buy a bunch of turkey legs a week before Thanksgiving, but oh well. Paul likes dark meat much better than white meat and it's cheaper than buying chicken breasts. Even I think the turkey legs turned out better than the boneless, skinless chicken breasts my mom uses!
 
Last night I made the best cheeseburger quiche. Of course, I didn't eat the final product with the burger in it, but I tasted the sauce and cheese mixture before adding the meat and it was soooo good. It got rave reviews!

It was so quick and simple too.

1 lb. hamburger, browned and drained (I used elk burger)
1 pkg. Cheddar cheese, grated (I used 1/2 cheddar and 1/2 swiss)
1 c. mayonnaise
2 eggs
1 onion or bell pepper
Salt, pepper and garlic
1/2 c. milk
1 c. mushrooms
1 pie shell

Mix cheese, mayonnaise, eggs and onion together with mixer. Put in spices and mushrooms. Blend in hamburger and stir all together. Pour into pie shell and bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
 
Patti - I just made your cheesburger quiche, except I added two more eggs. Otherwise did everything you said, I used more hamburger though that's why I added more eggs.

I just had surgery this week and haven't had a decent meal in days because I'm not up to cooking. This recipe seemed quick and easy enough for me to try accomplishing tonight and it turned out so delish! Hubby liked it and cleaned his plate. Thanks so much for sharing, it was perfect timing for me!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hubby had me make it again tonight! Tonights version added chopped black olives. It added color, taste and texture!
 
Me and my older son Anthony hadindian currie last night...currie chicken...and chicken tikki currie....not sure what i'm gonna have tonight though....Jeremymy youngest sonhad KFC...he's fussy..he don't like spicey food.
 
Husband and I went to an Italian chain sort of restaurant called Buca di Beppo. Totally cheesy decor, but delicious food. (We had a coupon for $10 off a $30 purchase, which never hurts!) We took my MIL, too.

They serve "family style," where you get one thing but it comes on a big serving dish to share.

Started with bruschetta. Then we had a spinach salad with warm balsamic viniagrette dressing, pecans, tomato wedges, and goat cheese. For our entree, we had oven-roasted salmon with pesto-cream sauce, sundried tomatoes, and toasted pine nuts.

(They really didn't have a lot of pasta choices without meat. Other than basic fettucini alfredo or spaghetti with red sauce, and those are easy to make from scratch at home.)

On our way home, we stopped at a local custard place. I had a small "Sassmaster" concrete: vanilla frozen custard mixed with peaches, strawberries, and raspberries. It wasn't as sassy as I would have liked, but was good, nonetheless.
 
Beth, all that sounds so good! I've only been to Buca di Beppo once but I liked it. The ice cream sounds good too!

Last night we got pizza from Papa Murphy's. You bake the pizza at home in your own oven. We got a pizza with olives, mushrooms, pepperoni and beef, as well as cheesy bread (which we honestly love more than the pizza, it's so good!) and a cinnamon wheel (which is incredible). Had leftovers for lunch today and we have enough for dinner tomorrow too.
 
I haven't cooked in like a week straight... I've either been sick or we've been up here at my sister's house.

Tonight we ate at Applebee's... Good stuff!!!
 
Cooked last night. Made meatballs, chips, my special baked mushrooms, some spring rolls and samosas. My idea of an easy dinner :p

Not sure what we're having tonight.

Anyone have a nice, easy, simple, yummy, fast (wow sounds impossible huh!) recipe for indian?
 
Prisca, that's quite the variety!

MyLoki, I want what you had for dinner. It sounds great. We're probably going to have leftover turkey legs and roasted veggies, plus broccoli or tomato salad. I'm considering making some biscuits too. Oh and I'm going to make fudge tonight using the best fudge recipe ever :D
 
Tonight I am going to do a roast chicken... with sage and onion dressing if I can manage it. It's one of my favorites for Sunday. My other half can't eat chicken but thankfully there is lots of cheeseburger quiche leftover! :) (thanks again Patti and too funny about your hubby wanting it again!)

Everyone's meals sound really interesting. I'm looking forward to eating Thanksgiving dinner, just not cleaning up after the cooking!
