Hey everyone! We are going to a potluck tonight to meet up with some people that we see every summer when we go on vacation ... I know how the Refupeas feel about potlucks but I feel pretty safe I'm bringing my famous chocolate trifle ... I've been told that I'm not allowed to attend unless I bring the trifle What's on your menu tonight? ETA: Batman vs Superman last night was sooo bad ... I should have taken the advice of the Pea who warned me ... it's 2.5 hours that I'll never get back

It's a gorgeous sunny day here so we are grilling. I made an orzo salad and am going to roast some veggies and salmon.

I had a 24 pack of chicken drumsticks in the freezer that I was tired of moving around every time I went to get something out, so we are having those barbecued on the grill. Not my favorite but my husband will take the leftovers for lunch. We will have some grilled vegetables too.

DD and I had fried mackerell for dinner. DS is competing in the national championships this weekend, so I guess they had a celebratory pizza tonight (DS won the gold medal. I'm so proud for all the hard work and determination he has shown).

I'm bored with my kitchen at the moment. Which might mean dinner = M&M's. But there's still enough pot roast/mash/veggies/gravy for one more meal. (The rest of the leftover pot roast and gravy went into the freezer. It's like having money in the bank.) And I bought a pound of ground beef yesterday. Or there's nachos or a turkey sandwich (it's just lunch meat turkey) or whatever. No one is going to starve around here.

I'm going to Target later and will bring home Chipotle. Then it's DVD night, featuring The Peanuts Movie. DH and I want to see it, but the kids don't care. Who wants to hold down leannec while I steal the Trifle?

We picked up our 1/2 cow from the butcher today, so it's grilled steak for us. I might make hamburger patties to throw on there too. That would save me from worrying about dinner tomorrow.

It's looking like chicken tenders and fries with salad. I put my chicken in my salad ETA: So that's what it looked like, but that's not what it's going to be. I was told to get broccoli which means it's mac n cheese

We've got some single serving casseroles in the freezer so I'm using some up tonight. DH is having a beef noodle-y thing and I'm having an enchilada pasta one. And probably small salads to go with. We have fresh strawberries and fruit dip for dessert. yum! ETA: congratulations to your son, miominmio !

I feel like such a slacker! Everyone else is cooking something and having a great dinner. Dinner here is just take-out. Congratulations to your son, miominmio! A gold medal is quite an accomplishment! (If you mentioned which sport in the past, I must have been skimming that day, or more likely, I just don't remember. Since your ds was concerned about making weight, I'm guessing wrestling?)

My son's tooth is soooo loose now. All he wants to do is show me and all I want to do is GAG!! Ugh, and it's only the start of this lol. He doesn't want to bite into anything so I plan on making banana oatmeal with blueberries for dinner. Plans may change as dinner time gets closer, but that is my plan as of now

Most likely a turkey leg from a cart in the Magic Kingdom!! It's the last of our 8 nights at WDW with our DD, SIL and adorable DGD, 2, and DGS, 8 mos. We've had a great time and hate for it to end, they fly home to OR tomorrow and we drive the 3 hours SW to home. There may be sniffles. Or huge tears.

miominmio , congrats to your ds! I decided to send the kids to Sprouts to grab sandwiches. I will likely eat a salad. But they will be hungry later and want more food. I am not sure what else I will make. I just decided. I love it when the peas help me like this. I will make a "dip" that's kind of like a bruschetta with layered olive oil, green onions, feta cheese and Greek seasoning sprinkled about. I just serve it with a nice, crusty French bread. Easy, healthy, minimal work and will help fill the hole that is permanently vacant in their stomachs. Lisa ETA: I want chocolate trifle, too! Recipe, please, Leanne!

One devils food cake baked ... I end up using about half of it and having half leftover for us Chocolate mousse mix ... about four packages ... it comes to about 6 cups ... you can make it from scratch or use chocolate pudding! Cool Whip ... I use Light because dh is trying to lose weight 2 Frozen Skor bars crushed in the packages In a trifle bowl, layer the cooled cake, mousse or pudding, Cool Whip, and Skor until you reach the top ... easy peasy

Spaghetti with meat sauce for DH and DS. I'm still doing my month of vegetarian so I'll either have a different sauce with my spaghetti or else something else. I have bread for garlic toast, too.

It's cold and rainy out, and the hamburger for the lasagna isn't thawed, so... chicken enchilada soup with tortilla chips and pico de gallo.
