akathy's what's for dinner? 2/20

Are you on limited foods or npo? Hope you feel better soon!!!

Tonight I am fixing a roast. The leftovers will be used tomorrow for tacos!

In a bit we will be going to the bowling alley!

scrapmaven I hope the soup decides that it likes you and vice versa!

Our steaks last night smelled off to me once they were cooked. I didn't touch them, but dh ate most of one. I had planned the second one for leftovers for tonight, but dh decided to go with my nose and we trashed it. That sucked because they were not on sale, but we really wanted to grill in the warm weather.
Anyway (I feel like I say that a lot in these threads!), I had bought some prepared smoked brisket at Sam's on Saturday, so we will have brisket sliders tonight. I'm not sure what will be on the side.

scrapmaven - I hope the soup agrees with you.
scrappert - all the best for your ultrasound. I hope they find out what is going on and can fix it quickly.

Dinner tonight here is an old family recipe from my nanna, ricotta cheese and spinach pie. DH asked specifically for this - it is one of the foods I introduced him to that he has really taken a liking to. There will be leftovers for lunch tomorrow, of course!

This coming week is going to be interesting dinner-wise for us. We have visitors arriving on Wednesday for a week, and I have no idea what I am going to cook for them, mainly because I can't remember if either of them have any particular likes/dislikes. I've cooked for them both before, but never at the same time. He is my older DS's best mate from High School and used to eat with us at least once a week back then; we knew her from Church youth group before they were a couple, and she has stayed with us in that time.

sueg - please share that recipe with us. Several of us make pies/quiches often. It sounds yummy!

I'm sitting here peaing because I can't get into my kitchen because painters are in there. It's about the last thing I need to do is take care of everything in my kitchen. I'm thinking I might go over to DS's townhouse and start getting organized over there because there are boxes piled high. Maybe lasagna for dinner. scrapmaven how awesome about the soup.

I'm not feeling 100%- nothing in particular wrong just feeling a bit off colour. So hubby had cereal and I had crackers

Everyone here has the day off, except me, of course, because mom's don't get a day off.  I've spent the day in the kitchen and they've watched me cook 4 different things. I can't wait to see their faces when none of the things I cooked today are served tonight. Tonight we're having Italian vegetable soup (freezer), salads, and rolls. I love messing with them like that.

@pascoepea I hope you are back up to 100% soon.

scrapmaven are you eating food by mouth again? How wonderful and scary for you all at the same time.

scrappert I hope you get good news and don't starve before your test.....

We had visitors this weekend who brought Influenza A with them. Off to urgent care on Saturday and we all got scripts for tamiflue........expensive stuff, I sure hope it works...so two families had/have influenza A and the other family has strep throat and mono.......Then one of the families that were on Tamiflu got the pukey flu yesterday....it seems never ending. That turned out confusing....three families, two with influenza A/one of those now also has pukey flu, the other family had strep throat and mono. The other part of we in our house and I don't want to catch any of it.

So anyway for supper tonight we will be having fish, yams, peas, and fruit. Sounds like every other night at our house for food........

CarefreeSadie, what horrible guests they were! I'll bet you're not in a hurry to invite them over again anytime soon. 

I hope everyone is feeling better soon!

Good grief! I want to send well wishes to all who are sick but I'm afraid if I list names, I'll leave someone out. To ALL of you who are under the weather, get better soon.

I'm off all week for my mid-winter break, so I can't fall back on my "too busy and tired" excuse this week. Tonight it will be stuffed portobella mushrooms for DH and a salad for me. I put summer sausage, rice, cream cheese, and seasonings in the suffed mushrooms.

I've spent a good part of the day working in the yard. It feels more like spring break than winter break.

Oh my gosh, there are quite a bit of us who aren't feeling up to par... Group Hope you all start feeling better very soon!


My youngest still isn't feeling very good so we're skipping family dinner tonight. I took chicken breast and ground beef out of the freezer last night. Dh wants ground beef soft tacos and *I* want baked sweet and sour chicken, rice and roasted broccoli.


I'll update later once I figure out what we are for sure having. I'm leaning towards chicken since I have more time today to be in the kitchen. We shall see

scrapmaven, hope the soup agrees with you.

Hope all who are under the weather feel better soon.

I woke up knowing the meal plan tonight was prosciutto wrapped chicken breast with sage polenta and broccoli. DH left for work and will be gone most of the week. Fast forward to late afternoon. I then told the kids they are to get there own dinner. They could make sandwiches or have leftovers or make something. DS decided on frozen pizza, so I have him making me one too. DD still has not decided.
