What are you having for your main meal? Please share it here. Recipes, links, and pics are welcome, too.







Tonight I'm planning on making a new recipe that I think was posted in the May thread: Honey Citrus Grilled Chicken with Basil Butter, a huge pile of zucchini noodles, kale Caesar salad, and cantaloupe and honeydew melon.

Re: June Dinners
 

Subbing. I started slimming world a couple of weeks ago so trying lots of new recipes.

Yesterday I made minestrone soup with cauliflower garlic flat breads. The flat breads were really nice but made a big mess in my kitchen (grating a whole her of cauliflower) :giggle

Tonight is supposed to be mexican lentil bake with crispy potatoes

My 19 yr old asked me to teach him to cook a few of his favorite meals, starting with stir fry. :sillygrin So tonight we pan fried tofu (he's my vegetarian) to add to broccoli, purple and orange carrots, yellow bell peppers, mushrooms, and fresh ginger and garlic. We made a good sauce to put over it and served it with rice. That was a lot of components, but he was undaunted. We talked about good short cuts like pre-cut veggies that make cooking faster and still so much healthier and cost effective than eating out.

I felt like my boys grew up and out of the kitchen so fast, before I had reached my goals of teaching them to cook. But as young adults they know what they like to eat and want help with those specific dishes. Like so many other things, when they're motivated to learn they learn quickly.

That was long-winded. :shifty I guess I was thinking a lot about cooking with kids today. :)

Re: June Dinners
 

That's great, Kelly! It's wonderful he wanted to learn. :jump Favorite meals is a good place to start.

It was Taco Tuesday here. I had to leave early for a co-op meeting and just put everything out as a bar; I suspect Littlest ate only chips and sour cream, but I have hope that the rest of them at least had a few bites of veggies. :giggle

Re: June Dinners
 

Tonight we had meatza (pizza with a base made from homemade sausage meat), homemade oven fries and salad.

Re: June Dinners
 

Crock pot night - cilantro and lime chicken legs plus cauliflower and onion-garlic green beans.

Re: June Dinners
 

Individual pizzas, salad, and strawberries.

Re: June Dinners
 

Having had a big few weeks with work (and no end in sight yet!) its whatever I can find and have the energy to cook. Tonight its stir fry chicken and vegetables with rice.

I really need to do some bulk cooking and freezing...do we have a thread about that?

Re: June Dinners
 

I'm not readily seeing one and with the search function not working, I can't search for one. I'd love to see a new thread on bulk cooking/freezer meals.

Re: June Dinners
 

I have tried freezer meals and I’m not good at them... so I would also benefit from such a thread!

Last night DH made steak and mashed sweet potatoes. Today I’m home with a sick baby, so he’s picking up something on the way home from work :)

Re: June Dinners
 

DD1 made mac and cheese. Only help she required was using the broiler. :tu

We had snow peas (raw) and broccoli (steamed) to go with it.

Birthday cake for dessert. (Root Beer Float - a root beer cake layered with vanilla ice cream and smothered in frosting.)

Re: June Dinners
 

Awhile back in a Costco thread Aerynne mentioned unbaked tortillas from Costo. I re-joined Costco after years away and bought those. WOW!!! Normally when we have burritos I don't have any tortillas. I just put my burrito ingredients on top of a big plate of greens and eat it as a salad. Tonight I had 3 of those tortillas. So fresh and delicious. And without all the unnecessary ingredients. DH cooked the tortillas on the grill. Super easy.

Last night was homemade pizza.

Night before was lemon oregano chicken. chicken breasts marinated in lots of lemon juice, some olive oil, salt, fresh garlic, and lots of fresh oregano from the garden. :yum Served with quinoa and salad.

Re: June Dinners
 

I'm trying a friend's recipe for Squash and Lentil Stew tonight because I asked her in a desperate rush for vegan recipes. She's one of the few vegans I know and my son's fiancée is coming to dinner tonight and she's a vegan.

Hopefully it comes out okay and everyone likes it!

Re: June Dinners
 

We did sloppy joes last night with steamed cauliflower.

Re: June Dinners
 

Last night was sturfried cabbage and ground pork.

Recent meals have been:

• mustard pork chops, rosemary and feta roasted potatoes, and roasted cabbage
• sheet pan sausage and peppers, cheddar grits, oven roasted zucchini

Tonight I think I will make gluten free spaghetti and rustle up some kind of salad. I truly need to get to the grocery store. :doh

Re: June Dinners
 

Asian lettuce wraps tonight!

Re: June Dinners
 

Simple meal plan tonight. It's hot here and I have the a/c running so I hate to turn on the oven! But roasted veggies are so delicious! So I borrowed my mil's toaster oven, put in on the back deck and bam -- delicious roasted broccoli with no added heat. :heart I don't know why it took so long for me to figure that out. :shifty

Then I grilled some chicken breast, topped with honey mustard and basil tomato feta cheese. :heart A filling side of pasta with alfredo sauce for the kids.

Re: June Dinners
 

tonight tunafish, it was hot and humid and I was not going to heat anything up at all.

Re: June Dinners

Tonight is a chicken curry in the slow cooker with pasta. Easy prep time and tastes great!

Re: June Dinners
 

Last night was chicken fettuccine alfredo. Tonight is quesadillas, probably bbq chicken and cheese.

Re: June Dinners
 

Per DH’s request, we had shepherd’s pie last night (the American version). DD LOVED it!

Ground beef and mushroom stroganoff over rice. With roasted honey carrots on the side. Also sliced watermelon.

Re: June Dinners
 

Is the American version with mashed potatoes? The British version with crust?

Stroganoff might be my favorite meal ever.

Re: June Dinners
 

British version uses mash so I'm intrigued at an American version :popcorn

Re: June Dinners
 

I used beef instead of lamb. One of my coworkers who is from Britain said he hadn’t seen it made with beef until he came here lol. Was he just pulling my leg?
