MENU MONDAY

[JoyRenee]

What is going to be on the plate for dinner tonight? Or the rest of the week?! Please share your menus, recipes, grocery list... whatever!

Tonight I was going to make chicken stir fry with noodles and rice but........ I forgot to buy the stuff! So now we may have to just eat some sort of pasta. Still trying to figure it out.

What is a corn dog   ????

[martikadragoon]

and if anyone has cooking questions I'm not being prideful but I'm %99 sure I'll have answers for you.

I've cooked for a family of 3-7 since I was 13... and watch literally like 3-4hrs of food network a day when I can.

Last thanksgiving I cooked for 10ppl and made about 11 different dishes including ham w/pineapple, and turkey. The turkey was so good even my stepsis liked it and she doesn't eat turkey!!

[martikadragoon]

I make roasted chicken too...First line a baking sheet (1in deep at least) with foil turning up the edges to catch grease.  Basically get your favorite veggies like :


Corn, Green beans, peas, carots and potatoes, onion, and garlic. Chop to small pieces (bite size) and mix with a little veggie or olive oil and salt, pepper.

Then get chicken breast (healthier) and leave the skin on. Add your favorite seasonings, fresh or dried and drizzle a little bit of oil on it and rub into the skin and underside (rib side). You can use deboned chicken breast, or bone in. Then roast in the oven at *375 for 45-60min. until the skin is dark brown and crunchy and the chicken juice comes out clear. let cool 5-10 min. and serve the chicken with the veggies as a side.

DH LOVES this dish!

I have plenty more. I do a "pudding cake" for birthdays. You get your favorite duncan hines mix and mix and cook it, then use a serrated bread knife to split the cake in half making 2 layers. Mix up a package of pudding whatever flavor that compliments the cake, but leave out 1/4th the liquid so it's a bit thicker than normal. Spoon onto the cake leaving a 1/2-1in area of outside edges on the cake so the pudding has somewhere to spread. Add the top layer, and ice with your favorite frosting.  ENJOY with MILK!! mmmm.

LMAO!! about the cupcake and pepsi! That sounds like my snacks and sometimes dinner around here!! 1/2 time DH works LATE til like 11pm-12am and eats dinner here at 8-9pm... but by that time i"m famished, so I eat a snack expecting to eat dinner and wind up too full to eat dinner.

DH got upset w/me.. I forgot his milk duds when I went shopping earlier... MEN

[shasy03]

We went to the mall tonight so we had pizza.

Tomorrow- Maybe we'll have cheeseburgers.  (BIL is coming to stay with us from tomorrow till Saturday or Sunday.)

For the rest of the week...we'll have chicken one day...tacos maybe....maybe I'll cook lasagna one day.   For us it's really a guessing game....we look in the freezer and decide that morning.
