What did you have for dinner last night?

We had chicken and noodles. Like I boiled the chicken and added carrots, onions, garlic, pepper and salt. Then took the chicken out and boiled the egg noodles. It was almost a disaster because there wasnt enough water for the noodles and I had to add more water. But it ended up tasting ok. Oh we had welch's grape juice to drink.
 
We had stir fry with tofu, rice, and spring rolls. My DH also made 2 sauces to go with everything. Very filling and good :)
 
We had chili dogs. We bought them for lunch, but the shopping trip lasted longer than usual. We were there for 4 hours, instead of our usual 2. Hubby and daughter wanted to look at Wal-Mart's Halloween stuff. Did you know they are already putting out some Christmas things??? By the time we were done, me & the baby were both cranky. She was hungry & sleepy, my feet & hip were hurting. We didn't get home till 3:30, putting away the groceries and everything took till at least 4, probably more like 4:15. Which is only about 20 min earlier than we usually eat dinner, so I went ahead & made the chili dogs for dinner. They were good, I probably shouldn't have ate the chili though. I had the worst heartburn last night, but I always have heartburn anymore.
 
Trader Joe's Sweet Potato Bisque, and spaghetti with olive pasta sauce and chicken pan-fried in olive oil. (Yes, i was very very hungry).
 
Well... Paul had some medical stuff done yesterday and he's been on a liquid diet for a few days. It was extended through last night....

so, we had a weird evening of food.
first a little beef broth
then some tomato soup made with water (ICK)
then some strained mushroom soup ( he got the juice and I took all the mushrooms)
then he had a fudge icecream bar
and then we had some chocolate pudding
around midnight he cheated and had a scambled egg.

Tonight it's back to REAL food. He wants pizza or burgers with bacon and cheese. It sounds good to me though I think he should have something a little easier to swallow.
 
Hi everyone.. this is my second post. I just thought I'd add to this thread.

Today I did my second test for a tequilla citrus marinaded sirloin. I've been playing with ingredients and I'm liking it so far. I think I'll add some honey next time and use it for chicken.

Anyways,
>Grilled Sirloin with a tequilla citrus marinade...then topped with sauteed mushrooms and gorganzolla
>Saute' Zuchinni, summer squash mix
>Mashed potatoes

and as usual .. something else for my 3 1/2 year old son. Tonight it was chicken nuggets, apple, and he managed a bite of mashed potatoes... sigh
 
I made the Turkey Tamale Pie from the latest cooking light issue. It was really good! Next time I'll double the amount of filling though, b/c i ended up doubling the amount of cornbread topping.
 
a salad with couscous, smoked turkey chunks, and nectarines. There was a sort of honey mustard vinaigrette on it. not bad!
 
I had chicken biryani last night.( a mughlai dish), together with potato mutton curry.
 
We didn't have anything for dinner last night... lunch wasn't until 2 & everybody got stuffed from that. We went to What-a-Burger. Not the greatest when hubby's supposed to be on a diet, but he usually doesn't eat that so I figured one day wouldn't hurt him.
 
We had breakfast for dinner - eggs and toast.

Thanks a lot Twinmama, now I am craving cornbread - and I'm traveling for work in the New England area so I doubt I will find any! ;)
 
On the drive home from Oregon we stopped at Red Lobster and had a late late lunch. Skipped dinner.
 
We had Tri-Tip sandwiches and salad.

Sliced the meat very thin and mixed with some grilled onions and bell peppers. It was like fajitas on a roll.

I really wanted to add a chipotle mayonaise but my chipotle dipping sauce I made last week was making me a bit nervouse so I dumped it.
 
last night was
home grown acorn squash
chicken roasted with salt pepper paprika mushrooms and parm cheese
and Greek Salad.

Wow Philsfault, that sounds like an interesting recipe. Care to share the details?
 
We had sloppy joes tonight, made with lean ground beef and Manwich. I always start with cooking fresh chopped onion, and add a can of sliced mushrooms near the end of cooking. We had them on toasted whole wheat burger buns, topped with sliced Provolone cheese. As a side dish we had buttered steamed brocolli. This is a great easy meal for the weeknight, and works well with lean ground chicken or turkey too.
