What's for dinner in February? - Page 2

2sunshines · 02-02-2015, 06:09 AM

We got a big dump of snow last night so snow day here for the kids!

I put a beef roast in the crock pot for dinner. Sliced onion on the bottom, then the roast, and covered with a combination of chopped ginger, chopped garlic, olive oil, liquid amino acids and some herbs and spices. We LOVE garlic around here, and yes, we use a LOT!

Here is it pre-cooked:

And this is from another night's dinner, but I just got around to uploading the picture. This is the chopped salad I made. Chopped broccoli, carrot, red onion, tomato, sunflower seeds, almonds, feta cheese. Super delicious.

It would fun to play this month. DH is an eclectic cook and does most of the cooking.

I think the plan is for crockpot lasagna tonight.

I'm going out with a friend so just need to figure out something for the kids and Dh. Maybe chicken soft tacos.

I'm cooking for the Bible study tonight (our church's outreach). Vegetable beef soup, artisan bread. DS2 and I are going to try SK's brownie cutout cookies, since I don't have the ingredients for the regular brownies I was hoping to make.

Leftovers tonight.

Need to make a new meal plan & grocery shopping list for the next 2 weeks.

We were going to have crock-pot lasagna, but I couldn't find the noodles and now it is too late to start it (I found the noodles). So I just put a frozen pork-loin in the oven. Not sure what else we are going to have with it yet.

my roast smells heavenly!

I am making baked sweet potato fries for the first time tonight. Following this recipe: http://www.instructables.com/id/Perf...ries/?ALLSTEPS I want to get my kids to eat less white potatoes and more sweet, so I'm trying a few different methods.

I am also doing sauteed julienned zucchini and carrots. Then a spinach salad.

I want to know how your 🍟 turn out. My sweet potato fries are always mushy instead of crispy

I will let you know. I'm wondering what the key is.

I want to optimize the chances of success as my kids are already very wary, so the better they are the first time, the better my odds are of converting them willingly.

What recipe do you use? What oil? What oven temp?

I am making Chicken Palpatine. It is a family favorite, quick and easy!

We will have last night's leftovers.
