What's for dinner?

[Thirteen]

DH on call tonight = no cooking!
Annnnnnnnnnd it's time to order a gluten-free pizza...

[Vishenka69]

Lobsters, they were on sale. I love that they're so easy to make and don't require defrosting. I'm tempted to go back tomorrow and get more.

Taco Bell

homemade mac n cheese with peas and ham mixed in. Delish!

Taco Bell

Me too! My husband abandoned me last night to go to a fancy schmancy pre-interview dinner for the department and I was stuck at home sick as a dog with nothing in the fridge. Embarrassingly enough I did drive thru in my pjs. At least I removed the tissue that was stuck up my nose....

[MrsK]

Stoped cooking when BabyK was born. Seriously, dinner has been random for a year and will probably remain so until Baby2 goes to college.

We had ditilini with white beans,broccoli, garlic & parm cheese. We have a similar combo often. I'm kind of sick of it but it's fast, easy and covers all bases.

I bought some salmon for tomorrow. Any suggestions for cooking/serving? I usually bake it in the oven in a tinfoil packet with basil and a little olive oil. It's good but I really want something different.

[Michele]

I usually put salmon on the George Foreman with lemon and dill.

[Meenah]

I like salmon with old bay, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. I marinate for about an hour then pan grill. Servve with couscous and steamed asparagus or broccoli.

MrsK, I'm so glad to hear that! I feel like it's a huge accomplishment some days to make a Buitoni skillet dinner and open a bag of salad. DH is a good sport...

[HouseofWool]

Last night was steamed veggies, quinoa, and chicken breast in a brandy leek sauce. One of my favorite dishes.

I found a marinade on epicurious for the salmon that was made of 1/3 cup maple syrup & 1/4 cup soysauce with some garlic. I marinated it for an hour then baked it in the oven for about 20min at 425. The rest of the marinade was to be reduced on the stove & then poured over the cooked fish. I accidently over boiled the marinade so couldnt use it. The fish was really nice & would have been more delish if I didn't ruin the sauce. I made mashed potatoes & sautéd some yellow squash & zucchini with garlic as sides.

We had trader joes gift cards. We bought a garlic pizza crust dough, trader joes pizza sauce and some cheese. We doctored it with garlic and other spices. Its currently in the oven. Hopefully its yummmmy.

[MissCrabette]

Culver's single deluxe butter burger and fries. Yum!

Cooking has taken a backseat during this interview season. I don't think I've cooked anything other than pasta and eggs since Thanksgiving.

[Auspicious]

Into the slow cooker goes:

Bag of lentils
Some chicken breasts
Bottle/jar of curry sauce
Curry spices
Garlic
Chopped onion
Salt
Box of butternut squash soup

Cook until the chicken becomes shreddable, serve over rice.


Mostly I just wanted to say that now every time I use the spice jar just labeled "curry" I think of Jenn P's MIL saying "that's not right." (I may be paraphrasing.) I always think "Sorry, Mrs. P" as I'm duuummmmping it in.
