What's for Dinner??
 

Okay everyone, the last what's for dinner thread has been buried in all the activity on the boards. I for one love hearing what others have for dinner because it gives me ideas when I get bored.

Tonight I'm having Big Mac in a Bowl and I have some chicken marinating in the fridge for Chicken Shawarma with peppers, zucchini & onion tomorrow night!

What are you having?

HEY, I am having Big Mac n a bowl as well!!....my son loves it, its quick and easy!

I'm trying Big Mac in a Bowl for the first time tonight :) Tomorrow night will be leftovers and then back to white fish. I have discovered McCormick spice blends and I love them. Use them on everything to give it a different flavor. Some have sugar though, so you have to read the labels.

I think I read every label that goes into my shopping cart. My "creole" seasoning that i used to use all the time had sugar so I had to find a different one with no sugars. When I saw it had sugars I was thinking to myself why on earth would you put sugar in with peppers and such, no wonder it taste so good. My son says I take too long when we go shopping now....lol

great minds think alike!

Big Mac in a bowl here! got all the ingredients today. making with 3/4 ground chicken and 1/4 ground lean beef. so excited!

That's how I am, it's ridiculous. My FAVORITE pickles have HFCS in them. I'm sloooooooooowly finishing the jar (no more than 1 a day and they're mini pickles) because I hate wasting food, but really? (BTW I got the Vlassic bread and butter w/Splenda ones you've mentioned, YUM!)

And the spice was one I have used FOREVER, it's a lemon pepper and herb one, I was devastated when I saw the last ingredient is sugar. Makes no sense, and you would think they would be required to carry a nutrition label on them since they are no longer just dried herbs. Grrrrrrrrrr.

I had ground turkey meatloaf and mashed rutabags....yum!

Salmon and spinach MMmmm :D

Tilapia with Garilc Broccoli.

I am new to this thread and would love you know what is Big Mac in a bowl is? I am on maintenence Phase 4 of the Ideal Protein Diet. I am always looking for new and different recipes.

Last night I had pan-seared talapia and okra. I smothered the okra down in about 1 tsp olive oil, adding bits of water when it looked like it was going to stick. I love okra, so made enough to take for lunch today. I have no clue what I'm cooking tonight.

if you do a search it will come up and the recipe is in the recipes link.


I had grilled tuna steak, asparagus and grilled eggplant... walked away from the BBQ and my asparagus was just barely there anymore... oh well

Tonight of supper whatever I can make in 20 minutes before class, probably tuna salad.

I figured I would bump this up... for all the newbies that are around... this was a great thread if you were getting stuck in a rut...

not too sure... it will be chicken though as that is what I have out for the family


perhaps a chicken salad??

This is a good thread to keep going. We are having Ahi Tuna steaks for dinner tonight. Yum!

Chicken cauliflour soup

Steamed veggies and tuna for me :)

We have hunters here for the week, so I've been making lots of wild game for them. Tonight is grilled venison tenderloins YUM! On the side they will have baked potatoes, salads and garlic rubbed french bread...I will have my huge salad and my veggies with mine. :) My new fave is rhubarb stewed with splenda, cinnamon and a spoonful of WF Strawberry Spread. Oh Em Gee it is heaven!

Oh dear....what are HFCS? I just bought my regular pickles and didn't check for anything.:?:

High fructose corn syrup! Some dill pickles also have sugar in them. It may not be reflected in the nutrition info but it will be in the ingredients. Just keep an eye out for those two things.

Thanks, am going to my fridge right now to check. This forum is a lifesaver.

I kept it pretty simple last night... I just had some baked chicken breast with some garlic and herb mrs. Dash!! with some green beans. While the BF had some noodles and sauce, with carrots...

Last night I ate alone so I baked some pork fingers with a huge salad and cucumbers while my son went with his friends to eat Krystal's....YUK!! But I truly enjoyed my dinner, I had not had pork in a while :)

I am having pork tenderloins on the grill with turnip fries and a salad.

Just put a whole chicken in the oven, potatoes for fam. Going to try and make turnip chips for me.

Gonna try lettuce taco's possibly tomorrow.

I did make a taco salad the other night. but instead of lettuce, I used baby spinach!! it was DELISH!

I cook my whole chicken in the crockpot, put it in early in the morning or when I get up and let it cook all day....meat comes right off the bone, no pulling needed it just falls off :)

Yum yum, our family LOVES taco's it's a weekly meal so I figured this week I'd make it for me too.

That's a great idea. I have to pull out my crockpot, it's around somewhere. Gonna make a roast on the weekend.

:?: so what do I search for if I want to find this thread? :?:

Tonight we had baked tilapia with garlic Mrs. Dash, steamed broccoli and cauliflower and a small lettuce salad. delicious.

Tomorrow will be pork stir fry and Friday is Big Mac in a bowl with turnip fries.

broiled salmon and asparagus. Need to come with some recipe for endive. Bought one the other day, but can't get any ideas what to do with it.. Any ideas appreciated.

Shaved smoked roast beef~steamed brocoli,turnip fries. Tomorrow~Lean Hamburger and Miracle noodles cooked w WF peanut spread, veggie stir fry :)

I am going to Red Robin with my mom! I plan on getting the mushroom burger

I love endive, core and all, raw. It's a great finger food when you want something with crunch and it's equally good chopped, as a salad, with a light cider vinegar dressing, ground salt and pepper. Or if you're roasting a pan of vegetables, cut an endive in half, spray it with olive oil, and roast; or just spray the surface and roast. Again, go light on the oil because endive tends to absorb oil easily.

(N.b., my endive is actually the real thing in that it comes from Belgium. A big change from eating it in Hawai'i after it travelled 2,500 miles from CA.)

Tonight we had BBQ steak, mashed cauliflower (first time I made this, yummy) and ceasar salad, well just the lettuce and dressing.

Chili - ground beef 97%, peppers, zucc, and WF katcup and spices - very good

FinnSteve's chili verde made with pork loin rather than chicken. Cooked all day in the crock pot.

Had a large chop chop salad and chili made with veggie burger and lots of hot pepper.

White fish (Basa) topped with lime juice, grated lime rind and chopped cilantro. It's delicious!
