AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 06/04

We had hamburgers (homemade - DH has a secret recipe) on the grill, with a cous cous salad for lunch.
I'm heading off for my SnB meetup soon, where I will eat something small - probably cake.

We're going to open houses today because a friend of ours from the bay area is contemplating a move up here so DH wants to preview before next Monday. Not sure what is on tap for dinner ~ last night we had flank steak.

I was at the store yesterday and they were sampling some sausage. I got this yummy Cajun sausage and I just have to figure out how I want to eat it.

Dh and I grocery shopped this morning so we have choices...I have 5 lbs of chicken tenders marinating with olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic and lots of seasoning (care to guess who won't be eating these??). I'll grill them later and freeze most of them for easy dinners. I cooked 18 eggs in the Instant Pot for lunches and cooked a pound of bacon (LOVE the meme!). And finally, I mixed a pound of ground beef with minced onion, mustard and Worcestershire sauce to make some low carb meatball mushrooms I saw on Facebook last night. Those will be my dinner along with some raw veggies. 

Last night dh and I went for fried seafood. I only ate a few fries and onion rings and mostly haddock, clams and a couple scallops and a shrimp. I was shocked by how quickly I was full. Dh and I share a meal at this place and we didn't come close to finishing it. We enjoyed a nice walk around the grounds of the place we went to...it was a really nice evening!

I'm not sure which way I'm leaning.   Sil will be here for dinner and she flies back home tonight.  So, dinner will be either Giada's meatballs and orchiette or chicken teriyaki bowl.  She has acreage and a wonderful garden and I know she would love the teriyaki bowl w/all of her fresh veggies.  I'll decide when I get to the store.  We bought veggies at the farmer's market for the bowl, but she would also love the meatball recipe.  Maybe I'll just sit here and look pretty.

I'm toast from the big week, but my graduate is toastier.  (I invented a new word.)  He's still asleep.  He gets to be a couch potato for a few days.  He's going to work a lot this summer and play a lot.  That's how summer before freshman year is meant to go.    Most importantly, he had better take his favorite mommy to a couple baseball games.

We had chilli with brown rice

Please do lucyg

I set myself up for that, didn't I? LOL
I just find it suspicious that my brother invited along some random guy. I didn't ask for details, so maybe I'll get there and discover he's my son's age, or my mom's age, or married or something.

Or rich and handsome, lucyg

Just when you think it's a familiar 'ole Sunday dinner thread lucyg drops a little bomb on us. We insist on an update later.

I wasn't sure what to do for dinner and then DH says he wants a hamburger. Fine by me because he likes to make his own. I'll be on KP duty, but that's ok when I don't have to make dinner. Since I don't eat much red meat, I'm free to pick from the leftovers in the fridge.

I spent time online this morning looking at new dinner ideas for the IP and printed several. Off to the store in the morning with a new and slightly different shopping list. Perhaps my dinner thread will have some more variety in the evenings to come.

Haha, just went to Raley's and picked up some salmon for dinner. When I got home there was an email from Raley's telling me a recipe to use the salmon.

Philly cheese steak sliders. They're like the funeral sandwich on Hawaiian rolls just Philly steak fixings instead. Broccoli coleslaw and grilled corn on the cob for sides.

Or some smoldering, sexy hunk of burning love.

We had bbq pork chops that started out on the grill but it ran out of gas so into the oven they went. Homemade pasta salad/veggie and that's it. I am still so tired from this cough that started almost 5 weeks ago with pneumonia. I am so over it.
