AKathy's What's for dinner? 4/30

scrapmaven - Thinking of you today, and hoping all goes well.

Dinner here tonight will be BBQ ribs with potato salad and possibly a green salad. I wanted coleslaw, but there wasn't any at my supermarket - I hope they get it back this summer German 'krautsalat' is not the same thing!

My older son called us yesterday, and DDiL is going in tomorrow morning for a second IVF transfer. Please send all the baby dust you can towards Australia, to help this little one stick and grow.

Sending good wishes and big hugs, scrapmaven.

Our hike yesterday was disappointing. We drove nearly an hour to get to this wonderful place only to find out you need reservations to park on weekend. Next time we'll go during the week. We ended up doing some exploring and had a nice drive.

Not sure what's for dinner ~ maybe sausage.

Best wishes for success and an easy recovery, scrapmaven. Baby dust most certainly headed Down Under, sueg.

I don't know about tonight. Probably one of those Costco curry sauces with some already-cooked chicken from my freezer. But I keep cooking chicken, planning to make chicken spaghetti for my sister, and then we end up eating the chicken.

Otherwise, maybe tamales (also from Costco) + Mexican rice.

We're having beef stroganoff, rice, and roasted vegetables.


I read the dinner thread on the weekends, but don't bother posting because Saturday is always take-out and Sunday's dinner is lame. For example, dinner last night was funeral sandwiches, roasted red potatoes, and coleslaw.

scrapmaven, I hope your surgery and recovery go well.

jeremysgirl, your kitchen looks so bright and cheery! You did a fantastic job! Your magnetic poetry brought back memories of when we used to have a ton of tiles on the freezer door too. They're so much fun.   hmm, maybe I need to put them back up.

sueg, prayers and positive thoughts for your son and his wife.

Yummy wishes for success in everyone's meal today.

As well, GIGANTIC, MONSTROUS, HUMONGUS, FANTABULOUS GOLDEN ARROWS TO OUR MIGHTY AND BRAVE LEADER.

Please keep us informed, scrapmaven , as you are able to do so. In other words, send us an arrow back for our quivers.

sueg - so much support going to the land of kangaroos with mama pouches. May your DDIL feel peace and calm as she goes through the procedure. Our closest young adult friends have gone through this. Much support flying on baby arrows down under.

We ate jambalaya, ribs off the Green Egg, jalapeno poppers, and my blueberry crumble pie last night at our friends' lake home. They have been gone for 6 months, and like our own lucyg , ate chicken 5 times a week while gone. So, they fixed a meal for the ages - she went to LSU, cadoodlebug , and is a true Cajun gal in the kitchen. So tasty that culture's food!

And thus, we have leftovers to chew on. Mighty spices on every single item.

I am salivating just thinking and writing about it. Time to sharpen my pencils!

Thank you for thinking of us and starting the thread. Aren't we all just somethin'??

Sending good wishes and sticky baby thoughts.

We’re having pork chops, green beans and corn for dinner in my house.

Hoping it is an easy procedure today, scrapmaven, with a quick recovery.

Sending all sorts of positive fertility thoughts to your DS & DDIL, sueg.

jeremysgirl, your kitchen looks fabulously happy, light & fresh! Love your Fiestaware on display.

I had a no cooking weekend and have no idea what is in the fridge beyond carrots and there is bacon in the freezer. With cool temperatures and possible rain  , how does roast carrots and bacon sound? Does that sound like a dish I can sell to my family? 

Praying for you scrapmaven

I have spaghetti and meatballs planned for dinner with a side of roasted veggies.

I'm fixing smoked sausage and we're going to have leftover mac & cheese and steamed squash from last night.

My stupid cold is hanging on so I didn't go to group today ... I've just been watching TV and playing on the computer ... I'll go back to bed soon and read for awhile and maybe take a nap   

I hope things went well for you scrapmaven   

Positive thoughts going down under sueg   

We ended up doing a fend for yourself night last night so I'll make the beef tacos tonight instead   

Well dd texted from school saying she wanted something “yummy” for dinner. Then proceeded to suggest pasta for her and eggplant parm for me. She’s out with bff getting a college T-shirt for him. Tomorrow is decision day and all seniors wear their school of choice T-shirt and there’s a picture. We found hers yesterday at Marshall’s. I did not have time for a 2 hour drive to her school. Not that I would have.
Anyway I have the stuff to make Philly cheesesteak just in case. And salad too.

Healing thoughts and good wishes sent your way scrapmaven .

We just got back from grocery shopping so we'll be feasting on some of what we bought. Crabcakes, tater tots, and roasted asparagus. May a cinnamon donut or two for dessert.

Ooh, jeremysgirl -- I love the gray and orange color scheme. That ceiling fixture is great! I bet your kitchen makes you happy every time you go in it now!

Well that sounds like my dream dinner! I went to Maryland once for four days. I ate crabcakes three times!!! And since I'm putting my order in I like my tater tots extra crispy!
