aKathy's What's for Dinner? 5/12

We are having chicken Caesar salads using Tyson Black Pepper Herb Seasoned chicken breast.
And iceberg lettuce. We are still wary of Romaine, although there is some in the produce boxes that are being delivered Friday. yikes

We are having chicken chow mein, sweet and sour chicken balls and egg rolls all from scratch. No idea why I decided to do this on a Tuesday. It may be a midnight snack instead of dinner by the time I get it all ready after work.

We're having garden salads and frozen pizza tonight. DH is doing a group event in his video game he plays, so we're having something easy and quick.

This morning we had our video conference appointments with our rheumatologist. It's time for my Methotrexate dose to increase, since I'm tolerating the injections just fine. But I'll have to have lab work done at the end of the month to make sure everything is fine internally. I have an endocrinologist appointment in early June, and may be able to do that over the phone. But the blood has to be drawn first. I will do it all at one lab visit to limit exposure. Quest labs seem to be really on top of safety measures. Still, not happy about going in for such close contact though.

Good morning ladies! I think I'm starting to find a routine for this life I'm living, it only took me how many weeks??

Dinner this evening is going to be a potato and ground meat casserole. I'm using up things that I'm afraid will go to waste.

I've walked 3 miles the last 2 mornings and feel so much better for it.

Wishing everyone an awesome day!!

For dinner here tonight I am making Swedish meatballs with gravy, mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam. Meatball mix is made, will cook them once I know how late DH is working.

We could have ribs for dinner. I am ready for some. There might be leftovers but I am not sure. We have so many condiments I need to do an overhaul and get rid of some. How many Dijon mustards do you need? I have 3. At least I don’t buy Costco sized any longer lol.

I was going to have something with chicken, but didn't know what.  I like the recipe you posted, peabrain, I just may give that a go with rice.

I found some boneless pork chops in my freezer but don't remember what recipe I intended to make with them, so I'll season them with with taco seasoning and serve them with mexican rice. 

Hmmm...The arrows have been at their family cabin in the huge mountains to the north and have just now completed reading all of the threads they missed when they did not have any kind of modern wiring/technology services. They adore being up there. To all who are involved in any medical, family, neighborhood, 2RPeas drama and judgos Mcjudgos, or any other crisis, the arrows are on their way. It's the only thing that will help so they are all now comforting, soft, squishy, fragrant, and loving. Well, all but one. Sigh.

So much delicious food, several rock-star recipes, and many stories were posted and I am here to tell you that our dinners last week were simple and eerily similar to some of the other dinner thread folks who posted. My feelings were also so similar to some of yours that I know that aKathy is smiling and hugging from above. Carry on, friends!

That said, we are out of supplies here so we must go out to the store or else we will have TJ's marinated, grilled artichokes with frozen blueberries and wheat berries casserole with a sauce of  really ancient wrinkledy-wrinkled acorn squash and chipotle mayonnaise. At this point, I am hoping for chili and cornbread muffins tonight.

Thanks for the thread. May you find your thoughts in a beautiful place even as you must endure more tests. You are our Queen Poobah!

I’m making cauliflower Mac and cheese with a side salad and leftover skillet apple crisp for dessert. Nothing exciting happening here today- just telework.

And I am doooooooooone with my work day.  Yay!  I got word today that we should expect to go back in shifts when we actually return to work.  And my boss said he wants my coworker in the office 5 days a week.  Apparently, she's having trouble parenting 3 little kids full time and needs a daycare break.  So I've been advised that I will most likely be continuing to work from home most days a week.  I can't say I'm upset about that news.  I kind of like working from home.  So no complaints here. That was the best news of my day. 

I'm just getting ready to shut it down and go out and run.  I'm on the countdown to my 5K.  It is the first time we've seen sunshine in about a week so my dog is also eager to go.  So I'll have to slow it down for her.  But she would be very bummed if she got left home.  So I will take her.

Dinner tonight will be chicken salads.  Nothing fancy tonight.  

scrapmaven I am so sorry for what I wrote in my post. I became distracted and didn’t reread what I wrote. I am sorry that I offended you.

Hope it wasn't too exhausting. 

Don't be. We eat 3-6 heads a week. And if your produce boxes are from local farms you are even less likely to have a problem. 


This sounds delicious (well, except no mushrooms for me  ). I love simple sautees with pasta. 

I hope it went well. Just remember, you aren't trying to give a correct/right response to anything. You need to share as honestly as possible so your doctor can help. 

Dinner is going to be pasta around here. Cheese tortellini for the kids, a roast vegetable ravioli for DH and sautteed spaghetti squash & vegetables for me and anyone else that wants them.
