September's What's For Supper - Page 4

schmamy · 09-21-2014, 02:27 PM

I was super excited about bruschetta pizza last night with the last tomatoes of the season...but the tomatoes were not good at all. Just totally flavorless even though they *looked* red and wonderful

So not sure what I'm going to do tonight because it was supposed to be BLT wraps, and given these crappy tomatoes that would be sort of pointless. Alas.

I set out some ribeye steaks and they weren't thawed.

Went to the local diner.

Is anyone on Plan to Eat? Wanna be friends? I'm Kittybart

Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes and green beans. And everyone liked it!

Last night was roasted chicken with mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli and carrots, and cheese sauce.

Tonight is various leftovers.

I'm on plan to eat. I haven't utilized it nearly the way I should & hubby's wanting to stop it but I'm planning on getting better with it this fall. Planning next weeks meals out already.

I'm going to try my hand at making some sort of chicken lettuce wraps with Asian flavored chicken and water chestnuts and mushrooms served in lettuce with julienned carrot, cucumber, red pepper, bean sprouts, cilantro hopefully with some sort of peanut soy dipping sauce. I'll have rice and asparagus on the side because I don't think the kids will eat the chicken in the lettuce wrap, but we'll see.

This is all a huge experiment because I'm taking several different recipes and putting them together into one that I think will be most palatable for my picky eaters.

schmamy · 09-22-2014, 01:58 PM

sounds yummy! we have a PF Chang's knockoff lettuce wraps recipe that we LOVE--but it's a big pain so I don't make it very often.

we're doing chili and cornbread tonight - both out of the freezer. I love my six-months-ago self

These turned out really good and surprise, surprise, my kids loved them!

They do, however, take an inordinate amount of time to prep and cook. I'm glad to finally be out of the kitchen.

ETA: Connie, I know you do a lot of chicken that has been diced up for your meals. Do you have any good tips or tricks to making dicing chicken easier? I hate cutting up raw chicken breasts. They are slippery and very difficult for me to cut. It took me over 10 minutes to dice up four chicken breast tonight. Maybe that's normal?

LilacPhoenix · 09-23-2014, 08:14 AM

I use kitchen shears. It still takes me forever it seems!

I use disposable vinyl gloves to hold the chicken while I cut it. The kind that you can find in the first aid section of stores. It's easiest to cut when very cold or partiality frozen also.

Peach ginger chicken and broccoli

Tonight I made burrito bowls. They were good but not very filling IMO. Next time I'll add more to the recipe & a larger volume. Hubs had no complaints & thought they were filling but he's just getting his appetite back after illness.

Tomorrow it's going to be a one pot pasta meal with baby bellas & spinach

schmamy · 09-24-2014, 08:21 AM

carnitas, tomatillo salsa, black bean ragout and cilantro-lime slaw. friends coming over for dinner. thankfully the salsa and ragout were already made and frozen, and the pork is cooking in the crockpot all day.

charla · 09-24-2014, 10:11 AM

Grilled cheeseburgers probably with sautéed mushrooms and gouda and fries on the side. I would love to try green chili cheese fries. I'm not really seeing a recipe for it but I'm going to figure something out. I had them in a restaurant several years back and am craving them.

titosmommy · 09-24-2014, 11:09 AM

We're having grilled pork chops and veggies in the grill basket.
