I'm having good friends over for dinner tonight and told them to expect an International cuisine. I'm staring with a Thai cucumber salad, then going Italian with Pasta Alla Toscana and a crusty baguette drizzled with olive oil and toasted. I'm finishing with a Scandinavian almond cake. i have all the veggies and herbs chopped, the cake is cooling on my counter and my kitchen is clean and so is the rest of my house. I have to go to town and run a few errands, hopefully it won't take long and I'll have time to sit for awhile this afternoon before game on! What's happening at your house tonight? And what's on the menu?

Ugh. Who knows? Sure wish I didn't have to be the one to think it up all the time.

AKathy -- your meal sounds fabulous. As does Z*G's curry option.
monklady -- I agree that deciding what to have is the hardest part for me. I love to cook, but can make the "deciding what to cook" part way harder than it has to be.
What am I making tonight? Reservations! I'm meeting a girlfriend for dinner.

Well, I'm having a huge green smoothie right now at 3:00, so I'm not sure I'll be up for dinner. Will probably end up with a bowl of cereal unless dh gets home earlier than expected. Okay, well, honestly, I'll still probably have a bowl of cereal!

Chicken and sautéed veggies over quinoa. It has a Chinese flavor and so good. I need to get the veggies chopped.

I have NO idea. I was going to make chicken enchiladas, but then I remembered that I have to work tonight so I won't have time to do that. DH will likely grab something on his way to work (he works nights) and I'll toss some mac-n-cheese at the kids. I get the bad mom of the day award, don't I?

I don't know yet, but it will be something soft. Dh had 2 teeth pulled this morning. So far I have not been inspired.

Unfair! I don't have a dinner plan yet, but it sure as heck isn't half as drool worthy as Kathy's.

Since I've been up to my elbows in preparing peaches for freezing today, it's going to be something quick like taco soup from the freezer or carry-out pizza.

My butcher had some rump steak marinated in Jalapeno and lime sauce today so I got two. He recommended kind of roasting them - in the oven at 180 for 15-20 mins - which is not a way I've ever cooked steak before but it was fabulous, so tender!

Avocado and bacon burgers on brioche buns, salad, and fresh corn on the cob. Only 1 week of fresh corn left here, and while I'm sad about the end of the season, I'm making the most of it!

I'm not very good at cooking steak and have avoided rump in the past as it ended up not as tender as say, fillet, but this was really melt in the mouth. I know marinating is good for tenderising so I'll definitely be doing this more

Baked chicken. It is baking now, and I am trying to decide what to have with it. Rice maybe? But doesn't that just sound boring? But jeez, I stretched my brain to come up with the chicken and now it is expected to come up with a side too???

Steaks on the grill, curry roasted potato wedges, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, and corn on the cob. Can't wait! the potato wedges smell so good.

Costco pizza. It's quick, easy and what dd wanted. And since we are celebrating her b-day, she gets to pick. So it's Costco pizza and Costco Tuxedo cake. Yum!!!!

Okay, so I decided. A recipe from my new insulin resistance book. Quiche made with egg whites, and with a shredded potato crust. I added in one whole egg because I thought maybe it wouldn't set right without it. lol. I also put spinach, and the recipe has cheese also. Then I sauteed a huge pan of mushrooms, peppers, onions, and spinach. People can eat that as a side if they want, and I'll eat the rest tomorrow.
Also, raspberries and blueberries were on sale yesterday so they're in a bowl to go out on the table. I'm not doing anything with them so people can eat them plain, or with yogurt. Or not. lol
