I'm making mine with Smartfoods fake Chicken Strips. :)

Cyndi and Cottage need to be separated now please! They are morphing into one!!!

Cyndi, how do you plan on making the crack slaw?

I think I am going to make some tofu stir fry. I don't think I've ever made tofu myself before. Any tips?

CyndiM 03-23-2010 03:28 PM

Cottage - I'm doing mine the same way tomorrow. Today I'm home early because I'm feeling punky so it's mock cornbread casserole for me.

Jenn - I like to cut the tofu into chunks and roast it in the oven before using. Crisps it up without all the oil.

We're having lean ground sirloin and red beans over brown rice. We'll probably have big salads on the side and I have some leftover brussel sprouts as well. I'll be making up the beef and beans as I go, so let's hope it tastes good. I'm thinking I'll make it with a bit of a cajun flair. My goal was to have enough leftovers for DH to eat tomorrow and Thursday night while I'm gone.

I never thought to roast it!!! It really crisps it Cyn?

Not quite like the corn starch dredged fried chunks at Chinese restaurants but pretty good.

Ahhhh Corn Starch. Hmmm. I wound up making a beef stir fry with broccoli and mushroom caps as all were about to go bad.

I must put more thought into the tofu.

I had to report back that the Crackslaw was a big hit here tonight. But my family thinks it should be called by a different name. Even I have to admit that I flinch when I say it. ;)

Cyndi, what are we making for supper tomorrow? :lol:

Lexxiss 03-23-2010 09:38 PM

Tabouli, jicama, cucumber, fruit and bean brownie for dessert. DH will finish the roasted chicken (and his Doritos)

I think you could call it Mu Shu Beef, pork or chicken. It's close enough to the Chinese recipe. I call it crackslaw just because I don't have kids and I think it's funny, but I vary the recipe a bit and in my heart it's really Mu Shu.

CyndiM 03-25-2010 06:23 AM

Okay, I haven't actually made the crackslaw yet. Tuesday I needed comfort food and yesterday our local Shaws had almost no veggies (strike at teh warehouse apparently). Tonight is the night! It's perfect because I need quick and easy so I can watch the game!

Last night I made a super easy chickpea & spinach dinner with Greek seasonings. It would also be good with curry. We served it over quinoa. The whole meal took less than half an hour and that was cooking not prep. DW loved it. I love quick and easy dinners :)

cottagebythesea 03-25-2010 06:35 AM

Cyndi, I'd love that recipe, please?

I'm going to do something with spaghetti squash for tonight's supper, probably the deep dish pie.

jenne1017 03-25-2010 10:03 AM

I had brown rice pasta last night and I plan to be out of here no later than 5:30p tonight. I still haven't made that yam and it's the last night of DW-free dinners so I am thinking of baked chicken (breasts - I don't eat chicken on a bone) and roasted sweet potatoes with smashed cauliflower.

I hope I can get to the store!

Unfortunately for me, DS has his first track meet tomorrow and needs to carb load. So he is having spaghetti with meat sauce tonight. I will have the sauce and a plate of veggies. I have tried it on spaghetti squash before for myself but didn't love it. His sports seasons make my dinners more complicated:)
