<p>Hmmm…Anybody got any good ideas?</p>
<p>Like my husband always responds…</p>
<p>“Reservations!”</p>
<p>We’re having spaghetti tonight at our house. :)</p>
<p>Meatloooooaf (because the word meatloaf is too short to post)</p>
<p>It’s always fun to have the kids back after they have been living on their own. They come up with the greatest meals. I always insist the kids cook a dinnner or two while they are home. Son #1 spent quite a bit of time in South America and Mexico and comes up with all kinds of spicy ban and tofu dishes.And he makes SO MUCH. We have tofu in the refridgerator for days. Now child #2 is anti- meat. She came up with some interesting veggie burgers when home last.</p>
<p>We had fish tonight.</p>
<p>Fritatas. Very simple tonight.</p>
<p>I have a skinny 14 y/o d who wakes up every morning asking this question.</p>
<p>And I hate, hate, hate to cook. I’ll do it 3 or 4 times a week, but no one likes to be around me when I do. Dinner tonight: pasta e fagiole.</p>
<p>I dunno.</p>
<p>(shouts to husband in next room) Honey? What’s for dinner?!</p>
<p>Whatever it is, I am grateful I married a cook. :)</p>
<p>One daughter wants sheppards pie, one fish, Dad wants chicken- so we all get burritos!!</p>
<p>I was on my own tonight, so I did a simple Boca Burger made with Teriyaki sauce, pineapples, jalapeno-jack cheese, and tomatoes. ummmmm…</p>
<p>So are we the only family crass enough to have eaten frozen dinners tonight?</p>
<p>I love to cook. It relaxes me. I also don’t mind cleaning the dishes and pots and pans afterwards either! LOL </p>
<p>My specialty is steaks, but I also prepare Tuna rather well, and my dad’s graduate school Sicilian roomtate’s grandmother’s spaghetti recipe is rather good…but it takes 6 hours to prepare! hehe My asparagus salad (with a Balsimic vinegar sauce and freshly grated Parmesean Reggiano molten on top) is to die for, as are my extra crunchy pommes frites! And for desert? What other than crepe suzettes (flambee in Cointreau of course).</p>
<p>Wow, Alexandre!! No wonder Mom101 was trying to hook you up with her daughter!
:)</p>
<p>I am impressed. And you’re the moderator of this forum as well!</p>
<p>Last night, whipped up some boneless chicken thighs with cream of chicken soup, made mashed potatoes from scratch, and nuked some frozen broccoli spears and peas–had to eat quickly to get to a PTO meeting by 7. Tonight, probably sausage, diced tomatoes, mushrooms, and carrots (cooked together) over pasta.</p>
<p>hmm … when I cook … Bertucci’s (pizza), Vinny Testa’s (Italian), Anna’s Tacoria (Mexican) … well you get the idea. Momofthe3togo is a great cook so I provide the dining out experience.</p>
<p>Try allrecipes.com… all the recipes are reviewed/rated and a lot of them are quick and delicious.</p>
<p>For quick dinner:
quesadillas - pan saute any combo of garlic, onion, red/green peppers, shrooms, cooked chicken or steak or ham…whatever you have. remove vegies. in same pan, put in tortilla, add the vegie/meat mix, plus some grated cheese and fry on low heat for a few minutes… there you go.</p>
<p>i don’t know how to spell it, but last night we had cornish hens? with potatoes and rice. my one roommate cooked for us. deliciouso!</p>
