Tonight we're having curry chicken and rice

Macky · 03-22-2012, 01:08 PM

We're doing steak and carrots and... I dunno... rice or something. I've got a quarter of a head of cabbage to use up. Can you throw cabbage in rice for a side dish? Hmmm... meh. Never mind. Maybe I'll save it and make a soup tomorrow that I can toss it in.

I haven't done a coffee rub on steak for a loooong time... dh doesn't like it. I might put it on the smallest one just for me.

Creamy Cauliflower Potato Soup, sourdough, and turkey roll up sandwiches.

KLin · 03-22-2012, 01:16 PM

I have a huge salad with strawberries, almonds, mushrooms, crumbled goat cheese and berry vinegrette for me with GF veggie burger and steamed asparagus.

My DH and boys have been snowboarding/skiing for a few days and will be home tonight. Have roast in crockpot with carrots, zucchini, potatoes and mushrooms for when they get home.

mamaKristin · 03-22-2012, 02:27 PM

I'm going to turn the leftover beans and rice from the other night's taco filling into a casserole with tortilla shells, some chicken, cheese and salsa. Easy-peasy.

MomtoJGJ · 03-22-2012, 02:58 PM

I gave the kids leftover pizza and pb&j on flatbread with chocolate milk, dh had a salad that I have no idea what he put in it, and I'm having a Blizzard from DQ

Heather!

This Louisiana girl DESPERATELY NEEDS to know how to make a GF roux!!! I've done a cornstarch slurry to thicken gravies but NEED to know how you accomplish this feat! (insert begging emoticon here)

We had spaghetti and salad. I made my own sauce tonight and reminded myself that I really need to stop buying jarred sauce - I've been buying the Muir Glen organic kind and it's like $4/jar, whereas if I buy Muir Glen organic diced tomatoes at BJ's (which I do anyway) it's just over $1/can, and we only need 1 can to make enough spaghetti sauce for us!

The savings is ridiculous and it takes like 5 minutes to make a delicious sauce.

TuneMyHeart · 03-22-2012, 05:46 PM

we had grilled teriyaki chicken, rice, and broccoli.

cmljll · 03-22-2012, 05:56 PM

Lunch and supper were both thrown together. Lunch was chicken, chile peppers, cheese, and seasonings. Boys had theirs with leftover pasta, DH and I with tortillas. Supper was tuna, rice, cheese, and peas. Can ya tell I need to go grocery shopping?

jujubnme · 03-22-2012, 06:03 PM

I had to work late tonight, so dh picked up some Peruvian chicken.

ncsweetpea · 03-22-2012, 06:58 PM

Oh...oh...we have a Peruvian chicken place in town...and it is soooo good! But they run out of chickens quickly. You have to get your order in early.

Garland · 03-23-2012, 08:17 AM

We have Pizza every Friday. It is nice to have a break from cooking once a week.

Crispy crunchy catfish and cabbage

It is super easy, do it like you would a regular roux but increase the flour to oil ratio. I used probably 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of flour to 1 tablespoon of oil. Then cook the you know what out of it. I am thinking it doesn't burn as easily as wheat flour roux does. I would let it sit a moment or two and it did just fine.
