Default March Dinners

It's still decidedly winter where I am, but I do hold out hope for spring and all the yummy food it brings. What are you making for your main meal during this transition between seasons? Please share a recipe link or pic if you'd like.



Tonight we are having crockpot ranch pork chops, gf spaghetti, cauliflower, mixed greens with a simple oil and vinegar vinaigrette.

I've been slacking lately. Tonight I might make chili since it's cold. I need groceries, but I think I have everything for chili.

Charla, the tater tot taco casserole from last month's thread looks really fun.

Last night was burgers, fries, and roasted veggies. Tonight was veggie and sausage stir fry with gluten free spaghetti tossed in.

I have to say I absolutely loved the tater tot taco pizza from last month's thread so very much. I get so very hungry for taco pizza but can't find a good gluten free version. This definitely helped my craving immensely.

We had chicken quesadillas made out of leftovers. I included some chopped up spinach and no one said a word.

I really love Penzey's Adobo season lately for tex-mex type dishes.

Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a small saucepan. Stir in 2 Tbsp flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp mustard. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Add 1 cup milk. Heat to boiling over medium heat, whisking constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Stir until smooth.

Meanwhile, steam a head of broccoli. Chop into small pieces and stir into cheese sauce. Serve over baked potatoes.

Over the weekend, we had chicken and rice soup and tonight was Mediterranean Pasta and Greek salad which we seem to have quite often. Tomorrow night I'm planning tacos, rice, refried beans, and salad with homemade ranch.

We had chicken and rice soup over the weekend as well, with rosemary olive oil bread.

Last night was stromboli. This was surprisingly easy, quick, and fun to make. Delicious as well.

Tonight was chili with taco chips.

Tomorrow is chicken fajitas. I'm excited because my avocados should be perfect tomorrow and how often does that line up?? I like avocados with my chicken fajitas.

My sweet girl was home alone yesterday and made tortilla soup for us to come home to. It was such a blessing after a very cold, outdoor soccer game.

Tonight was chicken strips.

I really need to make a meal plan for this season. Baseball & soccer on top of normal stuff.

This week dh is traveling so I am keeping it VERY simple.

Last night we did a mexican pizza with chicken for ds and I and veg for dd and steamed spinach on the side. Ds is becoming quite the cook and made them.
I don't have a meal plan but have lots of easy to make foods - tortillas, beans, rice, cooked chicken left, a variety of vegetables and fruit and those bags of salad (usually don't use those due to expense, but again no dh and the whole dog thing for those of you that have seen that thread so doing anythign easy), I have pasta and sauces. I have bread and cheese and let ds pick out a packet of lunch meat. So plenty of healthy options I or they can make even if I am not officially cooking anything and will get back on it next week (did great last week but didn't post about it because I dont always see this thread).
