We enjoyed a delicious brunch and I'm stuffed. So it's probably going to be popcorn for dinner.

Nothing exciting at our house. I'm not feeling the cooking urge so DH said he'd fix breakfast for dinner... the usual scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, fried potatoes, and English muffins. Works for me!

It's a holiday long weekend for the UK so we went to our favourite restaurant by the sea for a late lunch/early dinner. We had roast beef, roast potatoes, Yorkshire Pudding, carrots, peas, red cabbage and gravy with Victoria sponge cream cake for dessert.

Our make up baseball games were cancelled due to rain- these would have been games six and seven in five days, so we weren't too upset about it! I am making a chicken and pasta dish that has bacon, diced tomatoes and spinach in it. I made it a few weeks ago and have been wanting it again. Best of all, there should be enough leftovers for us to have tomorrow after-you guessed it- baseball!

It's warm and the sun is shining here on the coast!! Love it! Myself and two other parents are making lunch for the staff at our school tomorrow. We are making taco salad with all the fixings with chips/tortillas, fresh fruit, chocolate cake and cookies. Feeding 14 I'm making the ground beef so I have tacos planned for us tonight. Will cook all 6 pounds and leave some out for us. I also need to make cookies for tomorrow. I was going to make chocolate peanut butter, but I don't feel like turning the oven on so I might make some no bake ones. Not sure yet.

We ate out! I'm not a particularly inspired cook even on a good day, and luckily DH suggested eating out. No cooking, no clean up, and no complaints from anyone that they don't like whatever is on the menu that evening. So when DH suggested it, I was almost in the car before he had finished the sentence.

Easy dinner tonight. We're having grilled flank steak, baked potatoes, corn on the cob and salad.
I'm hoping to get my chores done in the next hour or so, then I can sit and have a G&T before I need to start cooking.

We were out of town for 3 days at a family wedding. All three dinners were horrible, especially the old, reheated pizza at the wedding. They did have some delicious appetizers that were crisp tater tots with Parmesan cheese, garlic, and rosemary on them.
I vowed to cook tonight while we were driving back, so I am marinating chicken in State Fair sauce and frying little potatoes in olive oil. We are also having asparagus from a neighbor's garden.
I do wish I had some wedding cake, though.
Thanks for the thread.

I'm so, so glad we grilled burgers last night along with our steaks. Now I have to add some chips, pickles and maybe a tomato-cucumber salad, and we're good to go!

We ate at Chili's after church. Everyone is full now, but of course, my boys will be *starving* later - as if they never ate. They can eat grilled cheese or PB&J. I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Yippee! Lisa

I'm trying a new pasta dish-- Skinnytaste's Chicken Sausage & Peppers Macaroni Casserole. I'm using turkey sausage instead of chicken, though. It's in the oven as we speak. I'll probably throw together a very simple side salad with it, as I don't think my dd is going to be crazy about the peppers. It was a bit of work to prep it, but I think it's going to taste delicious and will provide us with a lot of leftovers this week.

desertgirl it sounds like there is a good story behind reheated pizza for a wedding dinner . We have a huge conflict today - it is Greek Easter and DD's birthday. Usually we would be making the Greek feast for a crowd, but we weren't sure how DH would be feeling after his surgery last week, so DD gets to pick and we are going out for sushi.

On Sundays I prepare and take dinner to my parents. They are in their 80s and don't eat as much as they used to. So I always make a nice dinner for them and make enough for them to have a second meal.
Today I made a vegetable lasagna with a white Alfredo sauce. Didn't have mushrooms, but filled it with squash, zucchini, onions, peppers and chicken. And cheese. Lots of cheese.
I also sent over a spinach salad with dried cranberries, blue cheese crumbles, and segments from a Halo.

Roast pork loin, broccoli & cauliflower, and one if those new Birdseye proton/carb frozen mixes. The 'New England' one. I like those mixes it really gives a scent balance of complex carbs with nearly zero work.
Though I've avoided looking at the salt content because I don want to burst my bubble.
