It's cold and rainy here today and since we've had Chinese and Italian the last couple of nights I decided we needed good old American comfort food. My brother and I both prefer the dark meat of a turkey so I'm roasting turkey thighs over a bed of stuffing. We'll have sautéed broccoli and a green salad with it. What's for dinner at your house tonight?

That sounds good.
We are having BBQ steak and grilled vegetables. My husband will have a baked potatoe with all the fixins.
I don't eat potatoes, love them, they're my comfort food but they don't help me lose any weight.

We're having grilled italian chicken sausages and some grilled veggies. The kids will probably have a few chips with their dinner but dh and I will stick to the veggies.

Lasagna, salad and rolls. Not looking forward to heating up the kitchen, though so if i can think up a cooler alternative I might do that.

We have company coming in tonight and a softball game. And I work all day. So, I came home for lunch and put a crockpot lasagne in to cook for the afternoon. I've never made it before and hope it turns out. We have garlic bread, broccoli, and a caesar salad to go with it.

I can't decide between tacos or grilled chicken kabobs. Tacos will likely win because I'm lazy and don't want to chop all of the veggies for kabobs.

Ugh, we have to have dinner again??!
I fed like half the kids in the neighborhood last night, they were all over here playing and we had plenty of food, so they all ate here. They've all been hanging around here again today, I hope they don't expect dinner again tonight, LOL.
DH never bought a grill over the weekend, so grilling is out. And he didn't take me out for Mexican after DD's game on Fri night, so maybe I can talk him into that tonight. I really don't feel like cooking!

I'm in this difficult place right now where I'm taking DGS to swim class every weekday at 5:00, then he stays and plays in the pool for half an hour or longer ... then we get home at like 6:30 and all of a sudden I start wondering what's for dinner. Today the temp will hit 100 degrees and I'm not prepared to cook, but I have a fridge full of veggies, so I think it will be a giant salad with a little leftover chicken on top. If it's still hot tomorrow, it may be fast food on the way home from the pool. And then I really need to start thinking about this in advance.

Tofu, napa cabbage and sugar snap peas in a stir fry ginger sauce over sticky rice. I have odd kids - both of them LOVE it when we have this for dinner.

We just had chicken, leek and mushroom casserole, served with white rice - yum! . Would you be willing to share your leek & mushroom casserole recipe? It sounds good! Happy to, but I pretty much ignored the recipe lol! I'm in the UK so if any of the ingredients are unclear, let me know and I will try to translate This is what I did: 8 rashers of back bacon 1 onion 250g chestnut mushrooms 2 cloves of garlic 3 leeks 2lb of chicken (I used a mix of breast and thighs) 400g tinned tomatoes 500g passata 500ml cider or chicken stock Heat the oven to 180C/350F. Fry the bacon and mushrooms, add the garlic and onion and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the cider or chicken stock, letting it bubble and reduce for a minute. Then add the tinned tomatoes and passata. Add 1 heaped teaspoon of cornflour mixed with a little cold water, and stir well. Transfer this mixture to a large casserole dish, and add the chicken pieces. Season with salt, pepper (I also added a teaspoon of dried sage). Cover and cook in the oven for 1 - 1.5 hrs. When the chicken is cooked, check the sauce. If it is too thin, transfer to a saucepan and boil rapidly to reduce. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, and pour the sauce over the chicken. Serves 8. We have lots for leftovers tomorrow, and I will switch up the rice for mashed potato Hope you like it!
