Tonight I'm making chicken green bean casserole, a'la Rachel Ray.
What's on your menu?
Happy Friday everyone. Hope you all have at least one fun thing planned for your weekend. If not, it's never too late.

Chicken curry, rice and mini poppadums followed by apricots and cream for dessert. No plans at the moment for weekend, thank goodness!  |

Happy Friday! DH was supposed to get home from Las Vegas (he was there for CES) late tonight and DD, because it's Friday, will no doubt not be home for dinner, so I made plans with a friend to go out for Thai food. Yum! Of course, now DH should be home by 5pm, but that's too bad. I'm still doing Thai food with my friend!  |

Dinner last night at Sprouts was a success. I had a ginormous grilled pannini (SP? Sorry) for $4.99 since I wanted something hot.
Tonight, it's just the younger boy and I. I think he wants Subway. I will probably grab Thai curry as I have not had it in a while.

I think I will go to Costco this afternoon. So we all know what that means. Chicken for dinner.  |

I forgot to take chicken out of the freezer last night so I think I am going to make a cheesy bean and rice skillet and then add it to a flour tortilla with tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream and guacamole. So it will be like a 7 layer burrito.

Your enchiladas sound yummy!

DH is bringing Korean food home from a little restaurant near his work. It is so good, but I definitely need to remember to take my Nexium beforehand . |

Meat pies and a tossed salad. Meat pies are made of angel roll dough and filled with seasoned, browned beef. I made the rolls last night to entice DH to eat ham, and have enough dough left over for the "pies". I use a hamburger press to cut the pie halves from the dough; fill with the meat; add a top half; and bake. Simply, but good!

The enchiladas are a family favorite! The recipe came from the old board. Creamy Chicken EnchiladasThe dessert thing? Well, dh has certain criteria, shall we say, regarding dinners. Dinners must include meat (but a dinner salad containing meat does not qualify. Nor does soup.), and dinners must have a dessert. He's not a picky eater and does not care about what I serve, as long as it includes meat and a dessert. Works for me!  Oh, and cookies are a dessert for lunch, not dinner. But, sometimes I serve them after dinner anyway |

Friday night means pizza night!
After eating so much junk over the holidays, the family requested that I make it instead of ordering takeout. I can deal with that.

I don't know. My dad has a bad head cold and I think DH is coming down with one so I think chicken soup might be the best thing for both of them. I intend to disappear while they eat, I don't need or want a cold.

Friday night free for all, but the leftovers from last night's chicken paprikash will be prominent. We cook for 8, it seems, the pair of us.

You would think that after spending about $300 today between Costco and Trader Joes that I would have something to make for dinner. But I don't. Plus, dd is still not feeling well and DH is still out of town. So, it looks like it will be pizza for the boys and salad for me. I will get my act together and cook a real dinner this weekend |

NO plans for the weekend, just relaxing.

It is a great once-in-a-while dinner when I don't feel like Totally delish! But it's so big. I only get one if I have a lot of people to feed. I didn't get to Costco today so I ended up making rice and beans which I never got around to yesterday. Now I probably won't even touch the tamales because the rice and beans was plenty. |

I had left over Cheesecake Factory (chicken tostado salad.) And, because I was full at lunch, that silly piece of chocolate deliciousness otherwise known as a some kind of Hershey chocolate cake with a layer of chocolate cheese cake and chocolate ganache icing and extra whip cream came home with me. So really, the left over salad was social convention to make it seem like there was an actual dinner involved, when it fact it is really the chocolate orgasm that is the real meal. |

Sometimes not.  |
