aKathy's What's for Dinner? 1/11

Since I did noodles and potatoes already this week, today needed to be a 'rice' day. I dug in my freezer and found a package labeled: "beef-brown rice-zucchini--top with tomato slices and cheese". I don't remember making it, but since it's in my freezer, I must have.

It is another wet, cold day here in my area of southern Ca. So tonight is baked honey mustard chicken, carrots, cranberry orange muffins, and cranberry sauce!

Salmon, couscous and veggies. Not a fan (come to think of it, I prefer cake to dinner), but it's healthy "they" say. And it's cold, wet and miserable outside, so I think I need some chocolate. Or cake maybe......

It is freaking freezing here!!!!  We have had multiple days in the minus 20 degree Celsius range ... I'll let you work that out into Fahrenheit but let's just say that it is stinking COLD   

So what does dh want for dinner?

Salad   

So I'm making the same one I made the other day that was a hit with dh and me:   Latin Chipotle Quinoa Salad with Avocado

I'm also going to add some chicken to it this time to up the protein ...

The Birdhouse Lady, it sounds like both of our dh's are on the same diet plan which is to make the family as miserable as possible   

I'm just glad it had a label. So many things, once frozen, look alike.

Don't you mean cavewomen?  All of the males in my household seem to be suffering from mageircophobia.

Tacos, with refried beans and rice. Cold, snowy, nasty weather. Looking for a warm up soon!

I'm cooking my first pot roast in my IP

It's raining, it's pouring and I wish *I* were snoring. Once I pick up ods we are home for the evening to veg. Maybe make cookies and watch a movie.

We ended up getting Mexican food take out last night. So we have cooked chicken that is diced up and I have teriyaki pork in the crock pot.

I have no idea what is dinner, but at least there are some options.

I'm thinking the pork with roasted carrots and rice. Although, I think chicken fried rice sounds good. Ugh!

I'm not sure there would be an audience for our type of humor even on late, late night TV, but scrapmaven and I seem to crack each other up.


Oh, scrapmaven, I think you nailed it with laziness on the part of menfolk (and womenfolk not named 'mom') in my house. They should all keep in mind how many potential weapons we have at our disposal.

What a day. DH is over at DS's townhouse painting so I went to Costco to buy the sofa DS picked out last week. Get there and there is only the display sofa and it has some dings. They look on the computer and there are 2 at the other Costco about 10 miles away. Drive over there and the guy who was going to help me get it on the flatbed can't find it. Goes and looks on the computer and it is on *hold* for someone. I said *I didn't think you held stuff for people* and he replied *we usually don't*. I had already called the company that was supposed to deliver it to DS TH so I had to call them and cancel. The guy at Costco said they will be getting more in. He BETTER be right!!

So that took up almost my entire morning and all I have to show for it is a box of Mini Wheats I picked up at Costco. UGH.

Dinner is the thighs I was going to fix last night but fixed vegetable beef soup instead because we wanted to take DS over to see the TH. He has only seen it twice ~ when he bought it in 2014 and when they did the home inspection. Now that it is clean it looks much better. The gal he bought it from put quality fixtures and appliances in. Front loading W/D, Jenn-Air fridge and a Miele dishwasher. The tenants were slobs so DS is replacing the upstairs carpets and putting laminate downstairs.
