I'm ready for some cooler temps and a reason to start making soups again. Bring on the pumpkin!

Tonight was ...frozen pizza and salad for the fam while I had a BBQ dinner at my Bible Study Fellowship.

Re: October Dinners
 

We had gluten free pumpkin pancakes for lunch! :yum

Re: October Dinners
 

It’s crocknpot season in our house. Tonight we are having chicken chili and corn bread.

Last night was take out pizza and a salad for me because this is also the season of not having a clue just how many of us will be home for dinner and some meals don’t save left overs well.

Re: October Dinners
 

Me neither! What happened to 2018?? :jawdrop

On a lighter, more on-topic note, I'm planning chicken casserole for dinner tonight.

Re: October Dinners
 

Tonight everything is in a crockpot. So glad I have three crockpots!


BBQ Meatballs, Au Gratin Potatoes, Brown Sugar Carrots.

Re: October Dinners
 

I'm roasting a colorful pan of veggies with chick peas, and making a leftover hodgepodge of meat, rice, and gravy.

Re: October Dinners

Pulled chicken barbecue with green beans and mac and cheese

Re: October Dinners
 

I'll join in again! Last night was general tso's in the IP with rice and after cooking I tossed in some chopped broccoli.

Tonight is red beans & rice burritos.

I'm working on meals that can be easily adapted to be gluten free, for me.

I love soup season and just found a blog with freezer meal IP soups all planned. :tu

Re: October Dinners
 

Last night we had a roasted butternut squash linguine with a browned butter & sage sauce, roasted brussels sprouts/butternut squash, and garlic rolls.

Re: October Dinners
 

I think tonight I'm going to try a freezer meal - crock pot ranch pork chops over spaghetti, green beans, and salad.

Re: October Dinners
 

Did you enjoy the general tso's? I keep looking for a good IP recipie of that

Re: October Dinners
 

We did. It's not our favorite recipe. That one take a loooong time and is labor intensive. This is a decent replica. I think next time I'm going to add a tablespoon or two of peanut butter.

Re: October Dinners
 

Tonight was cabbage cassirol

Re: October Dinners
 

Last night was chipotle cheddar burgers on the grill and oven fries. I just can't let go of summer completely yet!

Tonight is Mediterranean pasta and Greek salad.

Re: October Dinners
 

Tonight we're having Korean Beef (but with ground turkey) over brown rice, and roasted broccoli.

Re: October Dinners
 

Cheeseburgers, tater tots, and peas and carrots.

The days are starting to get slightly warmer here in Australia so I'm gradually starting to bring some salads into our meals. But tonight is left overs as DS #2 has physiology and we won't get back till late ;)

Re: October Dinners
 

Tuesday we had gf spaghetti with slow cooker bolognese sauce, creamy slow cooker corn and salad.

Wednesday we had chicken breasts, apple gravy, cheddar rice, and sauteed apples based on this recipe.

Tonight we are having slow cooker bbq boston butt, slow cooker au gratin potatoes, slow cooker brown sugar carrots.

Tomorrow night I'm planning sheet pan sausage and peppers, cheddar polenta, asparagus, and a Greek salad.

I'm also planning a large pot of creamy potato soup with ham this weekend.

Re: October Dinners
 

Monday we had Reuben Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus and Pesto Parmesan Baked Tomatoes.
Tuesday we had Spring Rolls and a Peanut Hoisin Sauce.
Wednesday leftovers from Monday.
Thursday we had Orange Chicken (Costco) and an asian salad. My kids get SO happy when Costco has Orange Chicken on sale because they love it and it's the only time I'll buy it. DH and I had the chicken (no sauce) over an asian salad, but the kids had the sauced chicken over brown rice with the asian salad on the side.
Today is my mom's birthday so she requested a Thai Chicken Pasta I make. I think I'll do an asian salad, roasted broccoli, and potstickers with it. She's a total chocoholic so she always wanted this dessert for her birthday, so I'll make that too.

Re: October Dinners
 

Tonight we are having french dip style roast beef. I'll shred & serve over mashed potatoes. :yum

Re: October Dinners
 

Tonight we had Sheet Pan Lebanese Shish Tawook Chicken, Lebanese rice with vermicelli and pine nuts, flatbread, and a greek salad with this Lemon Garlic Dijon Vinaigrette.

Re: October Dinners
 

Mediterranean pasta, Greek salad

Re: October Dinners
 

This turned out so good! 1 cup coffee, 1/2 red wine, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2T homemade onion soup mix, 1T minced garlic. (I'll probably adjust the vinegar wine ratio a bit. It was tangier than I prefer, still amazing though.

Put all in IP with chuck roast. Set for 120 minutes. NPR. Just picking it up out of the liquid will shred it.


Thank you for sharing the Shish Tawook recipe. That is our favorite dish at our favorite restaurant. I've never tried making it. :tu It's going on the meal plan soon.

Re: October Dinners
 

My grandma's bbq meatballs, rice, zucchini, salad.

Re: October Dinners
 

Tonight is Garlic Lime chicken. Wow the spices are potent! Chased the kids out of the house. :jawdrop It's from way back when FlyLady and Saving Dinner teamed up.

Serving with roasted Brussels Sprouts.

Re: October Dinners
 

Last night we had this Autumn Crunch Salad and Avocado Egg Rolls. I probably won't make the salad again....it was good, but lacked something. The egg rolls are a Cheesecake Factory copycat recipe and they were really good....my very first go at deep frying!

Re: October Dinners
 

Roasted sausage and potatoes, asparagus

Re: October Dinners
 

One of my kids is taking a French Cooking class in co-op and we're making some of the recipes at home. Tonight we made gratin de macaroni with gruyere and it was soooooooooo good. With roasted cauliflower. So, an overly white meal :giggle but it was good on a chilly fall day.

Re: October Dinners
 

Chicken tacos, rice, cilantro lime black beans, homemade guacamole

Re: October Dinners
 

Made the white bean & sausage stew from the bootcamp tonight. My pickiest eater ate two bowls! I'm calling that a win.

Re: October Dinners
 

I made pork stew for tonight, I'm planning to make a rota and get the kids to take over a little more this week because we're all busy working on my eldest's wedding plans so time has to be managed a little more!

Re: October Dinners
 

Tonight was lentil dahhl with Slimming World friendly onion bahjis.
