I always forget to say how I change a recipe.

Yes, I did boneless, skinless chicken breasts because that is what I have on hand. I marinated frozen chicken breasts all day in the marinade in the fridge. They weren't quite thawed when I was going to make the dish so I set them out on the stove while the oven was preheating and while I chopped the veggies. In order to get those veggies cooked through I ended up having to bake that pan, including the chicken, for almost an hour. For me the chicken was moist from being partially frozen and marinating in red wine vinegar, but I like my chicken well-done.

Beautiful weather here yesterday. A last gasp in Michigan... So I took full advantage of it and grilled.

BBQ chicken, grilled sweet peppers and onions. Roasted carrots. Served over zucchini noodles.

An additional side of mac and cheese for the kids.

Ended up working about 12 hrs today, missed dinner with the family. Made a chef salad for dinner that it the spot (I wasn't really hungry but knew I needed to eat). It was almost 10 pm by the time I got home (ran a couple errands on my way into town).

RealLifeMama · 10-08-2016, 08:33 PM

Cilantro lime shrimp w coconut rice, spring mix w/balsamic vinaigrette.
This was a true 20 minute dinner.

Last night was spaghetti and meatballs for the kids, and leftovers from Thursday for me.

Thursday was Thai red curried butternut squash and cauliflower over quinoa. Sounds odd, but it is yummy.

Not sure how good or. Ad this looks to you but it tasted ok. It was what I could make from what we had.

So I roasted sweet potato and cauliflower florets in the oven, cooked pork sausages, tossed them with spaghetti and baby spinach leaves, and threw in a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Surprisingly it was a pretty ok dinner.

That looks delicious! I love getting creative and throwing together dinners from what I have on hand.

SalH · 10-09-2016, 04:45 AM

Thanks! I'm getting better at it but dh is better than me at that. Tonight he made an amazing chicken curry from scratch. Welcome back old friend. A curry we haven't seen in a while.

We're having Chicken Bacon Avocado Salad with Roasted Asparagus and breadsticks.

I keep forgetting to take pictures!

It's a habit thing. I obsessively take pictures of my food then one day forget and it's all downhill from there....

Tonight's dinner was a sort of mexican baked casserole. Did ground beef, seasonings, added mixed veggies and rice. Topped with cheese and baked.

Served with salad.

Chocolate chip zucchini cake for dessert.

Oh YUM! This is definitely going on my list.

We're celebrating my mom's birthday tonight and she requested a Chicken Thai Pasta I make. I'm serving it with chicken cilantro wontons and asian cabbage salad. I made a flourless chocolate cake my mom requested.

schmamy · 10-11-2016, 09:53 AM

Tomato pie leftovers tonight

Last one of the season. I made it Saturday--DH rolled out the crust for me :melt
