LOL that's what we usually do eat out.

We're grilling "burgers" which means a burger for hubby, a portobello for me and a Boca burger for my daughter. We don't agree on what defines an acceptable burger,lol. Not sure what we'll have with it, maybe grilled zucchini.

Haha! I wish we had a Chipolte, so good!!!

Yorkiedaze, can I come over for dinner? hehe

I think I'm going to make some enchiladas tonight since we were sent home from a BBQ with a huge bowl of homemade salsa last night.

once it is cooked and falling apart i take the lid off and let most of the liquid cook off. then i take 2 forks and shred the chicken/onion/tom mix.
gives you plenty of time to Yorkie talk while it is cooking
i take a tortilla spread on some fat free refried beans out of the can.
spinkle on a tablespoon or so of raw chopped onion and then top with the chicken mix. i roll it up and put in a rectagle baking dish.

i continue until they are all lined up in the pan and then i top with enchilada sauce and cheese.
since everything is cooked and somewhat warm, i just put it in a 350 oven until bubbly. 20-30 min.

i serve with shredded lettuce, chopped tomato and sourcream and if i have time homemade guacamole. i let everyone do their own toppings.
i eat like a half of a churrito but make like a big salad on top
I have never met anyone who did not love this when i made it!!

Yum! That sounds really good

Last night I made the Chicken Parmesan that's on this month's Bon Appetit cover~ It was DELICIOUS! I would have been happy with a whole lot less cheese on it, but the tomato sauce alone was fabulous! And I made caramelized brussels sprouts (first time making and also yummy), and buttered noodles. Cuban Espresso Creme Brulee for dessert.

Tonite I'm doing the carnitas recipe with a pork shoulder. And will serve it with sliced heirloom tomatos and basil and a cabbage salad. Homemade fresh peach and cinnamon ice cream for dessert.

Tomorrow dh goes back to work for the week, so I'll be back to leftovers and sandwiches probably, LOL.

Not to mention I cut over $150.00 a month off my grocery bill by doing this. It's also for my own peace of mind. I hate always trying to figure out "what" to fix. Tonight is Chicken apple sausage with fat free vegetarian Biryani curried rice dish. I always add broccoli, more bell peppers and capers to this dish.

Wow, thats amazing!! You are GOOD!

Hey is that rice from Trader Joes?? I buy that frozen in a bag at Trader Joes all the time. I like to add a fistful of chopped walnuts in while its cooking. Sometimes I'll just have that for dinner, I LOVE IT!!!

I just found a recipe Im going to try tonight. Chicken & fruit pockets. You make tin foil packets and use boneless skinless chicken breasts, add slices of peeled and cored pears and granny smith apples, drizzle with honey mustard dressing, minced garlic and thyme. Close packets and cook for 30 mins on the grill. Sounds yummy to me! I'll let you know!

We are having chicken and dumplings. mashed potatoes and fried apples.

My version of CHILI'S Quesadilla Explosion Salad
This is really good, super easy and will feed my entire family.....

2 cups cooked pasta
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 tomato cut up
1/2 Red onion thin sliced
1 cucumber cut
1/2 cup frozen corn
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
*I usually just toss them in a colander together and rinse in cold water
Plus
2-3 boneless chicken breast grilled and cut into strips
**I have been using the George Foreman grill a lot lately for this type of quick grilling

Toss all ingredient together in a large bowl.

Top with
Hidden Valley SPICY Ranch dressing
instead of croutons toss on a few fritos!

It the time it takes for the pasta to cook, you can have all your veggies ready so it's super easy to make and will know their socks off!

Thanks!

I get so tired of trying to find something that everyone will agree on.....there is always at least one person in my herd will always be a problem......

Sometimes I wish I could just toss them a corndog on a stick and a twinkie for dessert and call it a meal!

LOL I agree with you. My Son is pretty much a vegetarian, My daughter is a picky eater, My Husbands on a diet. Dinner time is a true challenge
