What's for tea at your house tonight?

Meatballs from Ikea with mash and veg.

Yum.  I am making meatballs this week (well, Finnish meatballs anyway).

We're having home made beef stew tonight.

Pork chops, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole.

Breakfast tacos...taco pies....Somebody likes tacos! 

Please enlighten me as to what a taco pie is now. LOL

Hubby is making a lasagna tonight

I do love Tex Mex <nodnod> Its like a casserole
Its like a taco but easier...I took a pie crust and baked it for 5-8 min (pierce the bottom with a fork a couple times), brown ground beef with onion (or my case onion granules) until cooked...Add taco seasoning, 1/2 can of spicy refried beans and small can of corn...cook a bit - Pour half into the pie crust - bust up some nacho chips and do a layer and some Monterrey jack cheese, add more meat and crushed chips and cheese - cook! I dont have times I just wait till everything is done.
Add some black olives the last few minutes.
When done top with salsa/gauc and sour cream - heck add lettuce or tomato is you want...Simples!

Homemade Chicken Goujons, Oven Chips and salad.

We're having some American-style shrimp scampi (prawns baked with garlic-parmesan butter and Ritz cracker crumb topping) with mashed potatoes and broccoli.

Zoya, that sounds great! I will have to try it sometime in the near future. Mmmm.

The curry I'm making keeps expanding--there's enough to feed six people now!  It was super hot so I added more squash thinking the sweetness from the squash would temper it.  It got too thick from the squash which had totally broken down so I added more water.  I added too much water so I put more cauliflower and squash in, but it's still really hot and now there's loads of it!  I'm now making some red lentils to add to it hoping that will temper the heat a bit.   

Anyone wanna come over for cauliflower, squash, and red lentil curry with basmati rice?

Totally service with rice. Plain yoghurt and some bread will help temper the heat! 

Sounds yummy!

Sounds great- if only I were closer 


I made Nigella's Coca-Cola Ham, Garlic mash, Minted Cabbage, and Carrots

Nothing we had a big late lunch an neither of us were hungry when dinner time rolled around. I know you shouldnt skip dinner but we dont do it hardly at all so once in a while is ok I think.   

Going to make an attempt at Baked Potato Soup, a la Panera Bread.  Been having a serious craving!

Coconut milk? That will help the heat

I ate like royalty this past weekend so really ought to practice a bit of restraint for a few days. Nothing is springing to mind, though.

Coconut milk? That will help the heat

Yes, or yogurt!  Hubby put yogurt in his (though he can withstand more heat than me) and I just kept adding more red lentils til I could handle it.  I had so much left over to freeze!

Tonight it's minestrone that I made a while back and froze.  Yay for freezers!
