June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

I tried a several new recipes that have become favorites.

Healthy chicken schwarama bowls (not very authentic but still delicious) from Recipe Runner. https://reciperunner.com/healthy-chi...hawarma-bowls/

Thai grilled chicken (gai yang) from Recipe Tin Eats. I also made her coconut rice and Asian salad dressing. I love her site and will be making lots of her recipes.
https://www.recipetineats.com/thai-g...cken-gai-yang/. This recipe is definitely worth the extra ingredients if you love Thai food. :yum As far as Asian recipes go, I didn't have to buy too many extra things.

I made a crockpot Creole kielbasa and chicken dish over rice for dinner. It was just okay...not bad but not amazing either. At least it was healthy.:shrug3

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

I made pasta salad last night. Tonight it was just dd and me, so we had frozen pizza and green salad.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

This was amazing. Creamy Tuscon Chicken.

I served it with quinoa and green beans. It would be good with pasta too.

We had a sheet pan dinner with sausage, sauerkraut, roasted baby potatoes, beets, and a kale caesar salad.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

I made black bean and brown rice enchiladas on whole wheat tortillas and it was awesome! I dumped a jar of corn and black bean salsa in the filling and it was the best shortcut ever. Stick em in the oven for 20 min on 350,top with Mexican cheddar and some more salsa. Yum.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Nothing. I am cooking nothing, and I am okay with that :giggle I'm always nauseated.
But DH made grilled cheese for me last night, so :tu

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Rainy day so my joints are done in and lots of the kids have summer colds, so I am making chili... Lamb and lentil for the fam and Quorn and lentil for the veggie kid. :shrug3 lazy I suppose but the spices should get the sick ones' sinuses opened up.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Chicken tacos, homemade guacamole, rice, refried beans and a salad of some sort - either ranch or strawberry spinach.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Carne Guisada(Mexican beef stew). I use this recipe. It is so easy and everyone in my family likes it.

You can also add other veggies to it to make a one pan meal. I have used okra, peas, and carrots (one at a time not all together). My mother in law also puts potatoes in hers. Today I'm adding mushrooms because I have some n hand that need to be eaten.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Surf and turf. Someone at work gave me a filet mignon but it's small so I'm making shrimp, and small piece of salmon, and asparagus all on the grill. Or I should say DH is making it on the grill :lol.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

We had picadillo tacos.

grilled burgers last night. finally enjoying the beautiful weather arriving in Michigan!

i just put steak bones in the IP to make some bone broth. dd16 started coughing last night so i need some immune boosting power!

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Did I miss an announcement?

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

I made barbacoa beef with a tri-tip in the crockpot and we used it to make tacos and also had a mexican salad. It was yummy and everyone was happy so I'm going to try and remember to make it more this summer since it won't heat up the house. It was 98 degrees here today!

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

I pulled a few recipes together and made a sort of casserole. I mixed mayonnaise with rice and put into a baking dish with some leftover cooked vegetables and some white wine and water. I put a couple of chicken breasts on top of it with some salt and parsley and then dumped a bunch of parmesan cheese on top of it. I baked it until it looked done and it turned out reasonably well. Jacob and James liked it, Ivy choked it down with minimal complaining and I thought it was decent.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

My gluten free version of buffalo chicken salad -seasoned almond flour and gf panko coated chicken tenders dipped in homemade buffalo sauce (equal parts of butter and hot sauce heated); romaine and iceberg lettuce; homemade pico de gallo (tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, red wine vinegar); cheddar cheese; bacon; blue cheese crumbles; crunchy tortilla chips; homemade ranch (mayo, milk, lemon juice, granulated garlic, granulated onion, salt, pepper, parsley, and paprika).

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

I've been on an Instant Pot kick lately. I'm having a hard time calling it cooking when all I do is dump things in the IP, set it and walk away.

Yesterday the oldest asked for Buffalo Cheesy Chicken (chicken breasts, cream cheese, Frank's hot sauce, onions, garlic, parsley, butter, oregano). I shred the chicken and mix everything together after it's cooked and let it sit Keep Warm until we're ready to eat. Steamed broccoli, cucumber salad, and oven-fried corn tortillas on the side rounded things out last night.

Tonight we're having IP Beef and Bean Chili and cornbread. (I put chipotle powder and corn kernels in the cornbread for dh and bake it in mini tube pans so it gets lots of crusty edges that the kids like.)

Tomorrow night is Muffaletta night. It isn't really authentic Central Grocery, but what my kids will eat - my faux olive tapenade and their favorite cold cuts.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Sheet pan sausage and peppers, cheesy grits, asparagus.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Went easy for dinner tonight. Roasted veggies (carrots, broccoli and onion) with sauteed chopped chicken breat in a coconut curry sauce.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Last night we had cheddar stuffed turkey burgers and a fruit salad.

Tonight is Thai Basil Chicken with jasmine rice and asparagus.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

what's your thai basil chicken recipe? I've been wanting to try this!

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

I'm in a rut. Last night was chili & cornbread (IP chili).

Tonight dd is making burrito stuff - red beans & rice from a box and refried beans.

I have no oompf to make a meal plan, so I'm picking something "easy" at 5pm. Ah well, everyone is fed, right?

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Pork tenderloin, baby potatoes, peas and carrots. My dh requested eggs, bacon, and pancakes for dinner tomorrow night. :lol I'll add strawberries.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

We just got back in town after being away 12 days. I need to meal plan to ight and hit the stores tomorrow.

This is the one I used:

I love it and it's super easy. DH is on Weight Watchers so I use this website almost exclusively for our dinners.

But I also have this one pinned:
https://thewoksoflife.com/thai-basil...en-pad-krapow/
I haven't made it but it has a lot of excellent reviews, which is how I generally choose recipes.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Meatballs, mashed potatoes, beef gravy, zucchini (probably make the quick saute with almonds), and strawberry spinach salad.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

After a week of being stuffed with really good Mexican food in Texas I want to eat all the vegetables.

I often feel that way after a trip. :yes

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

DH made basil lemon pork chops on the grill. I don't like pork, normally, but this recipe is fantastic and could be done with chicken, too. It's similar to pesto but without the expensive pine nuts, no dairy, and lemon added. This is the recipe he used. I buy the hydroponic basil, much cheaper than the clamshell basil. I use LOTS of basil.

Tonight I'm making a frittata as we're over run with eggs. Cheese, onions, chives, and eggs.

Tomorrow I'm making Vietnamese caramel chicken. We're having a cold snap this weekend!

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

We had Angel Hair Pasta with Zucchini and Tomatoes, salad, and bread.

Tonight DD is bringing her boyfriend over so we're having salmon bowls with an asian salad and wontons on the side.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Lemon pepper tilapia, rice, roasted broccoli, and a salad I'm making up (romaine, pickled beets, cucumbers, black olives, red onion, feta, sunflower seeds with a red wine vinegar vinaigrette). I ordered a make your own salad last weekend at the hospital where my fil was and that is the combo I came up with and it was really yummy.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

The plan for dinner is pasta with salid and garlic bread

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

It's soggy and cool outside (we had rain all day), so comfort food was in order.

Meatballs, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Coconut Curry Chicken over cauliflower rice last night.

And beef and cabbage soup tonight.

Last night we barely had any leftover. Tonight I'm sure we'll have a ton. [emoji38] Not many cabbage fans here...

marinated chicken breast in italien dressing and sauteed it. Roasted veggies. Homemade cheesy rice. Easy peasy and healthy. :heart

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

I was recently introduced to onion paratha and we are all crazy about it. We wrap it around some thin sliced beef but the paratha is the star. If I have any energy left that’s what I will make.

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Pineapple soy ginger marinated grilled skirt steak, oven roasted potatoes, grilled veggie kebabs (red onion, yellow pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, and tomato from the garden), grilled corn on the cob, grilled pineapple. :yum

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Would you share your recipe? I'm intrigued....

Re: June Dinners. What are you cooking?
 

Me too!
