Planning a menu for the week was a complete fizzle. I'm unprepared for dinners this week. Well, time to get it together and come up w/tonight's dinner idea. I'll let you know just what that is when I decide. Perhaps gyoza and rice? hmmm... I am not in a creative mood today.
What's on your menu?
Have a great Monday and a fantastic week.

leannec - happy anniversary! Dinner here will be chicken and mushroom fettuccine. Everything is ready to go, I just need to cook. It will be soon, as I am suddenly really hungry (and it is nearly 6pm)

Happy anniversary, leannec! sueg, chicken and mushroom fettuccine sounds so good. Unfortunately, I have a 7yo here who thinks mushrooms are of the devil. Maybe he could just eat around them ... Anyway, I took some chicken drumsticks out and I'm going to make this recipe posted by @scrubologist a few weeks ago. I made it once already and everyone approved. Plus the usual kind of stuff to go with it. Maybe I'll either bake or roast potatoes alongside the chicken.

Happy Anniversary leannec! We're having either the soup I made yesterday or pork tenderloin ~ depends on when the guy finishes the oven install from 3 weeks ago! He had to make a platform to raise the ovens up and then add the decorative stainless steel grate. I've been using the oven and love it!

Happy Anniversary, leannec! We had a successful soup party on Saturday, and will be finishing up leftovers for lunch today. I have a whole lot of beef on the menu this week because I need to make room in the freezer. Our 1/2 cow has been butchered and processed, so it's got to go somewhere. So tonight is cheeseburger rice and broccoli on the side. Family loves it, it's easy, and it's beef.

Happy Anniversary to you and your husband, leannec! I'm happy your test results came back negative, hop2! I never got a menu plan together either, scrapmaven. I work better when I have a plan, but I just couldn't come up with meals for the week. Tonight we're having Mississippi Roast in gravy (freezer), rice, and roasted broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots.

Reading for ideas. I'm thinking maybe pineapple chicken (tofu for me) over rice tonight. Dh killed it with fry bread tacos last night. Fry bread was a Pinterest recipe, topped with black beans, vegan cheese, salsa, and grilled veggies. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Hooray for good news hop2! And happy anniversary to you leannec!!! Dh said he wanted to have a bonfire tonight to burn some of the stick pile we have collected. So we will roast hot dogs and have them with sweet potato fries and maybe coleslaw? With roasted marshmallows for dessert. The kids will be thrilled!

Crazy busy day - so hotdogs and fries and coleslaw with cucumber and peppers sticks to make me feel like I am not a totally bad parent on the food front.

I have a lot of root vegetables and a new CSA box coming on Fri, so roast vegetables are on the menu (carrots, beets, parsnips, onions). I came here looking for protein inspiration and found it thanks to lucyg and @scrubologist. I'm sure there are chicken drumsticks in the freezer and was half thinking of using a mustard glaze, but the cinnamon in this recipe really appeals to me. My Greek MIL uses cinnamon in a lot of savory dishes and has converted me to using it in spaghetti sauce. Happy anniversary leannec

I have no idea. Hoping for inspiration from the thread today!! Chicken sounds good, now need to figure out what to do with it... Happy Anniversary leannec! Good news hop2! lucyg, that chicken looks yummy. I must have missed the thread where it was posted before. I will have to find a time to make that when I have an hour to cook them!

Happy birthday, @pascoepea. great news, hop2 . Dinner today was pasta bolognese. And chocolate chip cookies for dessert (my excuse is that it's so cold here right now, that I need chocolate. Because chocolate is good for everything, including (imaginary ) frost bite).
