Whats for dinner? (Again)

[houseelf]

I've decided that I'm tired of hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner so I pulled out the ol' recipe box. Here is what we've had the last few nights.

Chicken breasts in aluminum foil boats:

Chicken breasts
sliced onions
sliced carrots
sliced asparagus
sliced red peppers
soy sauce
garlic
dab of butter

Wrap in aluminum foil tents and bake at 350 for 45 minutes until juices run clear.

Chicken salad portobellos

Par boil portobello mushroom caps. Fill with deli bought chicken salad. Top with baby swiss cheese. Put under broiler for 5 minutes.

Cheeseburger meatloaf

1 pound ground beef
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup minced onion
1 egg beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1/3 c ketchup.

Mix the above. Place 1/2 mixture in loaf pan. Place slices of Velveeta down the middle. Place remaining mixture on top. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes.

Last night we had poached salmon and steamed asparagus. Yum-my. Tonight I'm going to take the leftovers of both and make a frittata with some parmesan included.

Tomorrow- pork chops with something....

PS-I'm cleaning out my freezer to determine what I need to buy in the next few weeks. Last time we moved from DC to TX we had tons of extras that we ended up giving away. Not this time!

Yeah! It is group soup tonight -- chicken tortilla.

Have I posted this?

Fish Tacos

Frozen Crunchy fish fillets (haven't tried the unbreaded but those would be good too)
Corn tortillas
bag of shredded cabbage (undressed coleslaw mix)
Ranch dressing or sour cream
Salsa

Bake fish according to box directions. For the last five minutes, put tortillas wrapped in foil in the oven to warm. Put a piece of fish or two on the tortilla, add some cabbage, dressing and salsa.


Bean and Corn soup

One can Fiesta Corn (Kuner brand)
One can seasoned black beans

Combine and heat. Serve with quesadillas. (Go make yourself a dang quesadilla!)


White Bean Soup

Add a little olive oil to a sauce pan, heat, add some crushed garlic. Before the garlic browns, add a can or two of cannellini beans and maybe some water. Season w/ salt, pepper, and rosemary. Yummy with parmesan on top and a salad. Or parmesan on baguette run under the broiler.

Arby's!

(sorry, couldn't resist!)

But I am going to have to try some of these recipes, if I am ever home to fix them! (Organized sports.......grrrrr)

I've also been trying to declutter the freezer and be creative as we haven't done grocery shopping in almost a month. On Sunday I found some chicken breast and marinara sauce and we had chicken parm. Today we'll still be finishing the leftovers and tomorrow I think I'll make rice and beans with shrimp (it's become my default I'm-too-lazy-to-cook dinner).

For once I actually have a menu made for the week.
Last night--leftovers.
Tonight--Barbecued chicken, corn on cob, biscuits.
Rest of week--chicken waldorf salad, hamburgers and baked beans, ladle it on lasagna, and salmon croquettes.
