It was yummy and both my kids liked it which was win, win for this recipe!

We've had house guests since last Thursday. I made this tonight: http://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/slow...ey-pork-roast/
With roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes, roasted balsamic zucchini, and Ginger/lemon coleslaw (used fancy ginger lemon balsamic vinegar in dressing). There are NO leftovers.

My kids still ask for that dish so I've been casually thinking about an alternative.

Seems that it should be easy enough.

I think Connie makes chicken rice and gravy into one dish so hopefully she'll come along and share her recipe.

Mine are all separate: pan sauteed seasoned (salt, pepper, granulated onion in olive oil) chicken breasts; a pan of basmati rice made with butter, chicken broth and salt; and chicken broth, flour, butter, salt & pepper gravy made in the chicken pan scraping up the browned bits. I have one child who can't stand gravy and another who really likes it so I make most of my meals deconstructed so they can add what they like and leave off what they don't.

Tonight is pork chops, some kind of veg (gotta go to the store!) and roasted potatoes for hubby and ds. Cherries, grapes, and watermelon for dessert.

Chicken sausage with sauerkraut, caramelized onion and apples. Something green. Maybe sugar snap peas.

i know i don't post much in here, but i HAD to come share this recipe with you guys!! it is so so sooooooo yummy!!

http://communitytable.parade.com/249...chicken-salad/

i shred the cabbage and carrots, but dice everything else. i also use more veggies (like half the head of cabbage).

seriously delicious. my hubby asked if we can eat it at least once a week lol

2sunshines · 07-08-2015, 10:44 AM

that salad looks super good! I bookmarked it. Thanks!

LilacPhoenix · 07-08-2015, 11:06 AM

The Cajun version of chicken, rice, and gravy doesn't use chicken broth. Of course, it uses a proper roux also but I don't

I take a carton of Kitchen Basics beef broth, season it with Essence, pepper, onion powder, parsley flakes, and a little Tony Chachere's, then let it reduce while I saute 1 lb of chopped chicken. When the chicken is cooked through, I usually add it to the broth and cook it down. Then I finish it with butter to help thicken and serve with brown rice. Sometimes I mix in cooked green beans.

GF rouxs are tricky. My friend bought a premade one and said it was good but I haven't tried it yet. We're happy with my version of "gravy" so...

We are having grilled bruschetta chicken tonight with the first tomatoes of the season. I can't wait--it's a favorite around here, and so simple: grilled chicken, and at the end DH puts it on foil and dumps a huge mess of tomatoes + basil (plus a splash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, salt, some garlic) on the chicken. Top it with mozzarella and heat until the cheese melts. YUM.

LilacPhoenix · 07-08-2015, 02:08 PM

Chicken, rice, green beans, and Craisins

That sounds fantastic!

Chicken with wine sauce, hot buttered carrots and English peas. I would like to add a desert, but I'm wiped out and James is doing the cooking for me and he is a bit intimidated by that much.

charla · 07-08-2015, 03:41 PM

Tacos, spanish rice

2sunshines · 07-08-2015, 03:54 PM

Tonight I made tacos and chips and guacamole for the kids.

Dh and I had sauteed veggies with eggs scrambled in and a raw zucchini salad on the side.

rainydaybaby · 07-09-2015, 11:41 AM

We're having meatloaf with asparagus tonight. I might make some potatoes for dh and ds.
