Re: August Dinners
 

I'm planning this for tonight (without the chilli, or dd1 won't eat it) - https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/...cken-rice-peas I've made it once before and remember it being an easy but tasty recipe, so hopefully it will be!

Re: August Dinners
 

I've been meal planning 3-4 days at atime. It's less overwhelming.

Tonight is Greek burgers and salad with cookies & ice cream for dessert. My firstborn is 18 today. :jawdrop :happytears Her young man is taking her on their first official date and then joining us for dinner. :heart

Re: August Dinners
 

Last night we had a tomato cream pasta with zucchini, capers and kalamata olives and a Greek salad.


Tonight I'm planning fish florentine with rice and asparagus.

Re: August Dinners

Re: August Dinners
 

Taco salad and kiwis tonight.

Pasta salad with cantaloupe tomorrow.

Re: August Dinners
 

Tonight I'm trying summer coconut chickpea curry with rice and fried halloumi. I'm pretty sure not everyone in my family will love this, but I just have to try it because it's been calling my name :giggle.

Re: August Dinners
 

Crockpot meal tonight - Grandma's bbq meatballs, crockpot mashed potatoes, green beans, and kale caesar salad

Re: August Dinners
 

I'm having halloumi tonight as well - but I'm going extra unhealthy with burger buns and fries. And salad :lol

Re: August Dinners
 

I think we may do chicken pot pie with green beans tonight.
Or leftovers— we have tons of those, and it’s just me and DD tonight.

Re: August Dinners
 

Last night I did a chicken and broccoli stir fry.

Tonight we had grilled rib-eye steaks, mashed potatoes, and glazed carrots.

I'm toying with making polenta tomorrow night. It's cooling off, so having the stove on won't be horrible, but I really don't want to stir for 30 minutes. :bag. I know I don't really have to, but I can't help myself. I might try making it in the crock pot and doing a quick sausage and veggie sauce to go with it.

Re: August Dinners
 

First time I've heard of fried halloumi, and two of you are doing it!

I made soft chicken tacos tonight. Chicken, sautéed red onions and yellow peppers, lettuce, cilantro, and dressing made of ranch, siracha, and lime juice.

Re: August Dinners
 

Homemade pizza tonight.

Re: August Dinners
 

Tahini marinated chicken thighs, rice, marinated Greek salad

Re: August Dinners
 

Tonight its slow cooked butter chicken (and I've just arrived home and my house smells divine!) with brown rice. Its a receipe from my naturopath and everyone loves it

Its been very cold here with high winds the last few days so a yummy, slow cooked meal is just perfect :)

Re: August Dinners
 

White fish, bacon wrapped asparagus and then a cobbler with blackberries I picked in the back yard.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...82421fc919.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c89f5d984e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a38211ade5.jpg

Re: August Dinners
 

Last night we had Grilled Chicken Pesto Couscous Bowls (quinoa for my GF girl).

Tonight we're having Shrimp Stacks (tastes just like sushi), shrimp gyoza, and an asian salad.

Re: August Dinners
 

I'm going to roast some sausage and broccoli on a sheet pan, and also make Parmesan risotto and an orange lettuce salad.

Re: August Dinners
 

Hibachi style chicken with veggies, rice, and dumplings.

Re: August Dinners
 

I was stumped, so I'm making pasta. :bag

At least it's mostly homemade - zucchini noodles (from our garden) and homemade marinara, boxed rotini for the Littles.

Perhaps a Caprese salad as well.

I really want to eat dessert at Knitlove's house!

Re: August Dinners
 

I made air fryer chicken wings that were promptly inhaled - it was not close to enough food. (I am exhausted from school starting and didn't think about sides) Dh just left to use a Papa Murphy's credit we have. :O :giggle

Re: August Dinners
 

IP beef & broccoli w/rice.

Re: August Dinners
 

Pasta, meat balls, and green beans

Re: August Dinners
 

I'm trying the chickpea and halloumi curry that Laurlor mentioned up thread.

Re: August Dinners
 

It was my first try with that recipe too but DH and I loved it! I thought DD2 would love it and she didn't. I thought DD1 wouldn't like it and she did.:shrug3 After I fried the halloumi, I cut my chunk up into pieces so I could get some in each bite :giggle. Let me know how it goes in your house....

Tonight I'm trying this grilled peach and watermelon burrata salad with a balsamic glaze. It sounds a little weird to me but one of my friends was raving about it so I want to try it now. I'm sure my kids are going to be asking where the main dish is :giggle. Hoping to be pleasantly surprised!

Re: August Dinners
 

Cajun chicken pasta tonight. I bet 4/7 will like it :giggle

Re: August Dinners
 

I have no idea for tonight! I just realized it will be our first Wednesday with violin, 2 soccer practices and youth group. :jawdrop I'm not even sure how to approach it. :think

Re: August Dinners
 

Slow cooker spaghetti bolognese over gf spaghetti noodles, creamy corn, mixed green salad

Re: August Dinners
 

It was fairly popular - especially the halloumi! I ate mine separately and tbh I wasn't 100% convinced about the combination of flavours, but the others enjoyed it, so :shrug3 I skipped the cayenne pepper because dd1 doesn't like spice, but she still found it 'too spicy' :scratch I think I'll put some in next time, because the rest of us would have enjoyed it.

Re: August Dinners
 

Moussaka made with tiny meatballs instead of ground beef in the sauce, for DD1 and topped with Kalamata olives, for me. :)

Re: August Dinners
 

Oh that is hard will you even be at home at the same time

Re: August Dinners
 

We have several evenings a week like this. My plan is to cook at 1-2pm and have leftovers for dinner. OR get some nice sub bread and have sandwiches. OR do meatballs in the crockpot for meatball subs.

Re: August Dinners
 

We will all be out.

Tonight I decided everyone had to pack a sandwich.

I will get ahead of it for next week. :yes

Re: August Dinners
 

Tonight was BLTs with peaches.

Night before was burgers, fries, and salad. I actually came up with a good gf bun recipe!

Re: August Dinners
 

We just had chicken tenders, leftover green beans, and fresh fruit.

My nausea is coming back and I don’t feel like cooking :cry

Bean soup and corn bread.
Everyone was wearing jackets and long sleeves at ballet. I was still in a tank top with the windows open all day.

Re: August Dinners
 

I think we're having black bean burritos today - another recipe from a GCMer, from one of these threads a few months ago. I need to plan some kind of side to have with it, though, which may involve going shopping as I don't think we have much in :scratch Maybe salad and wedges?

Re: August Dinners
 

Last night was a beef and cauli rice dish from the THM book plus roasted green beans.

Tonight is scrambled eggs and fruit because I'm out of mental energy for dinner, plus Dh takes one kid to a late afternoon appointment.

School started this week but next week activities start and it's overwhelming. I have no problem with sandwiches!

Re: August Dinners
 

Taco stuffed peppers tonight with fruit.
