Thread: What's For Dinner May '08

Gonna make a Blasted Chicken with LC slaw, baked beans for DH, and I'll devil some eggs.
Working on a shortcake recipe, so maybe dessert will be LC strawberry shortcake. Still tinkering and tweaking...

happy Saturday everybody!

Last night was pork chops, pan seared with a mix of veggies from the farm near my sisters house. So fresh! And full of dirt! LOL! I forgot that veggies don't come in nice neat bags from the supermarket!

Tonight I have a meeting, so I brought eggs to work to heat and eat before I go! Lots of hot sauce to make them taste good!

Yesterday's dinner was chinese restaurant seafood combo. Jumbo shrimp and scallops with chinese vegetables. also had 2 huge lobster claws and some lobster tail meat. My BIL and Neice's dh went out and bought about 10 pounds of lobsters and said sorry at $15 a pound if you want one buy one and we'll cook it. LOL I had to agree that would be too much to spend on me. Hence the compromise of chinese takeout food. But in the end all those 2 pound plus lobsters yielded much leftovers so I got some anyway. Delicious!

Tonight I'm going to try using coleslaw mix...frying it in garlic and oil and adding cooked shrimp. I find regular cabbage takes too long to fry so maybe this will work...wish me luck.

Donna,
that's what I use when I make *eggroll in a bowl*. The trick is putting the mix in a thin layer, I think. Then when it's stir fried almost done, I push it off to the side of the skillet and add my shrimp and sautee for a few minutes.
Totally YUM-O!!!


tonight is taco salad with homemade LC FauxCatalina, salsa, sour cream, ground sirloin and sharp cheddar sprinkled on top. YUM-O again!

Last night we picked up burgers from BK because I wasn't up to cooking after surgery. I tossed the bun and was ok eating the burger, lettuce and tomatoes.

DS asked if I would make cauliflower crust pizza with alfredo sauce and chicken toppings for dinner so that's what we'll be having.

TOnight is cottage cheese. I have a drs appt. at 7 so that is what I could think of for an on the go item!

Tonight marks the official opening of Taco Salad Season. That is when I add taco salad, usually once a week, to my weekly menu planning. My taco salad consists of lettuce, taco seasoned ground beef, tomato, green onion, jalepenos, ripe olives, and a little cheese, topped with a little picante sauce and my l/c sweet french dressing.

Mmmm. Sounds delish. Here perishing at work and it makes me drool!

I'm thinking RIBS tonight!
