peach muffins - that's a new one on me. What's your recipe? Sounds super good!

LilacPhoenix · 07-25-2015, 11:47 AM

Chicken and sour cream potatoes with baby carrots on the side

2sunshines · 07-25-2015, 06:20 PM

I was supposed to be at my brother's party tonight, and my kids were supposed to be at their grandma's so no meal plans.... Yes, I'm a little annoyed, but we will ignore that sentiment...

So... Without any dinner plan, I still amazingly fed my family.

Sauteed veggies (zucchini, garlic, onion, beets, carrots) for dh and I, hot dogs and raw veggies cut up for the kiddos.

These are the peach muffins. I sort of followed her notes about making them as muffins (incidentally, we tried them as cake for DS1's birthday last year and while the brown sugar cream cheese frosting is delicious, we much prefer the muffins and not the cake). So, I use all white whole wheat flour and reduce the white sugar to 1/3 cup. You might be able to go as low as 1/4 cup. I still use the full amount of brown sugar (well, I used sucanat). I use more than a pinch of nutmeg, and have had good success with both yogurt and sour cream (or a combination). LOVE these!

We had our first tomato pie of the year last night. YUMMO. For the curious:

Dinner tonight was just snacky stuff/leftovers, but for potluck today I made a yummy salsa/dip I love but had forgotten about up to this point this summer: black beans, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, onions, and a splash of lime juice. So delicious with tortilla chips.

My oldest's birthday party was today, so we had a very simple meal. Ground beef + olive oil + rice + seasonings. (We ate raw veggies during the party

)

schmamy · 07-27-2015, 08:57 AM

leftover tomato pie tonight, plus roasted broccoli.

rjy9343 · 07-27-2015, 11:43 AM

We are having cheese burger soup and something else. I just haven't figured out what the something else is yet.

charla · 07-27-2015, 06:23 PM

We had Pioneer Woman's Chicken Spaghetti and green beans. I haven't been to the store so had to make some changes to the recipe. I didn't have green pepper so used canned green chiles instead. I also added mushrooms and a small diced tomato. I don't usually have on hand any cream of soups but make the homemade version of cream of chicken soup. I used boneless chicken breasts so added some chicken broth to the water when cooking the chicken and spaghetti. It was soooo good.

2sunshines · 07-27-2015, 06:26 PM

We had shredded chicken in the crock pot, with steamed carrots, roasted potatoes, and a cast iron pan full of a variety of roasted veggies (anything I had in the fridge).

LilacPhoenix · 07-28-2015, 09:54 AM

Yesterday was homemade macaroni and cheese with chicken.

2sunshines · 07-28-2015, 12:11 PM

Our 12 year old niece has been staying with us for a month. Tonight is her last dinner with us as she flies home tomorrow. So per her request I have homemade spaghetti sauce simmering in the crock pot, and will serve over noodles for the kids and over zucchini "zoodles" for dh and I. Sides of steamed green beans, spinach salad, watermelon and grapes.

charla · 07-28-2015, 06:12 PM

Chicken and cheese enchiladas with green chili sour cream sauce, mexican rice, refried black beans, homemade pico and tortilla chips

schmamy · 07-29-2015, 06:58 AM

We basically ate blueberries for supper last night...we went and picked four gallons and ate our fill right off the bushes

We had eaten a big lunch (went and had lunch with Daddy during his work break, at a restaurant) so all we needed was lots of berries plus a little snack on the way home/when we got home.

Think I will do chicken enchiladas tonight, with black beans + cilantro lime slaw.

LilacPhoenix · 07-30-2015, 01:03 PM

Ground beef and rice with honey BBQ sauce, raw veggies with dill mayo dip on the side

2sunshines · 07-30-2015, 02:41 PM

Tonight we had grilled chicken breast, grilled zucchini, steamed green beans and mashed potatoes and gravy.
