:love:I have a DATE tonight with my wonderful husband! We are going out for dinner, and then going to see the Rockettes Christmas Show! Whooo Hooo!

I think we are either going to Red Lobster, or Texas Roadhouse. (hee hee - we have GC for both of those....)


I just :love: LOVE :love: my guy!
 
I've cooked a frozen roast in my crockpot on high for about 6 hours and it comes out perfect! I just add 2-3 cups of liquid to cover it! plus my carrots and onions get dumped in on top.

I do this on my lunch hour when I come home, and dinner is ready by 6. For the potatoes, I just dice some up, put them in the rice cooker add some water, zap them for 10 min in the micro, then add my butter and milk to it.

you might still have time!
 
I figured it out! Chicken and dumplings in the crock pot. It's already put together and cooking. As Racheal Ray would say...yummo! :D
 
Left over popcorn shrimp from last night. Not sure what else. Probably will bake a potato in the microwave or something simple.
 
Taco Soup. Cold day today, so will be yummy.
 
Homemade pizza & pasta house salad. Made the salad dressing last night & it was yummy. Have to make another batch tonight! :D

We haven't been - one opened up here a few months back. BIL & SIL gave DH a GC for his birthday - and included a menu with the GC. I was impressed with the menu. There were quite a few "healthy eating" choices, and it looks like all of their baked goods are from scratch!

Have fun on your Date Night, Becky!!I have a show, so I'll grab something from the fridge before I leave (probably a yogurt or bagel). DH is on his own, but he hasn't been home for lunch today, so I'll probably set him up with leftover tuna noodle casserole from last night.

I had to leave for a PTO Fundraiser yesterday at 3:30. So, I didn't get the Turkey done that I'd planned on. DH was in charge of dinner for himself and DS. DH ate leftover spaghetti casserole, and DS had leftover mac n cheese from his lunch - and between the 2 of them, they ate 7 King's Hawaiian Rolls, and finished about a quart of chocolate milk.

Not one veggie or fruit at all.:rolleyes: Oh well, at least it makes me feel needed.

In the continuing campaign to expand DS's food repetoire, scored big-time....quesadillas! I make mine with leftover taco meat, a little salsa, and shredded cheese baked on a stone between soft tortilla shells.

So, that's what's for dinner with some baby carrots :)

Oh! Quesadillas are a favorite here!

I make them all sorts of ways! Our favorite are fajita quesadillas - with fajita seasoned chicken, peppers and onions, and I also usually throw in some black beans and corn. Then, add some shredded cheese. YUM! I serve them with salsa and sour cream on the side.

DS likes his with just chicken, cheese, and corn. :rolleyes:

Well, DH showed up for lunch between his appointments (doctor and dentist), so I can't give him tuna casserole for dinner. Now I have no clue what to give him. Maybe I'll hand him a can of chicken soup.

Tonight it's any thing goes:

I have leftover PC White Chicken Chili - dang hot, so I'll have to temper it down with more chicken stock, beans, and sour cream

I also have leftover regular chili - yesterday we had a Chili Cook-off at work and I won the Golden Spoon. Yippppeeeee!

I also have some leftover PC One Pot Pasta. I added some cubed up chicken chunks to it for added protein, and it turned out delicious. Yummmmmmy.

It's a curse that I love to cook so much, but have a small family to cook for. We always have a ton of leftovers. Thankfully, my sisters live nearby so they often get my "come on over and pick up some dinner from me" calls.

In our family that is called "Musgoes". It's short for "Everything in the fridge "must go".
