I made a delicious Pesto Pasta Salad with White Beans yesterday... It will double as lunch and dinner today!
Saute some cherry tomato, garlic, and artichoke bottoms in some olive oil. Toss with some fresh basil, heaping spoon of jarred pesto sauce, bow-tie pasta, great northern beans, and some S&P... top with some grated parm... even better day #2.

Turns out a friend is coming over for dinner, and I didn't take any animal protein out of the freezer this am! So thinking about what I can do to make a delicious dinner w/o quick-thawing anything, I've decided on Pasta Puttanesca. I have all the ingredients on hand. We can round that out with a big mixed green salad with my "famous" mustard vinaigrette, and pears and Blue Cheese for dessert.

[Andy M.]

SO's current favorite is Chinese pepper steak over white rice so we have been having that with some regularity, including tonight.

I had Dum Aloo( Potato) for vegetable tonight. It is an Indian vegetable with curry and Potato in it and very tasty if prepared correctly. Will enjoy that with my family.

[babetoo]

[bethzaring]

[Clienta]

Indian food...yum!!

 

[Garband]

Chicken cacciatore and green beans.

mmmm :]

 

[Alix]

We're having an odd combo. Spaghetti and meat sauce (smells pretty good right now) and Killer Coleslaw. Sounds weird but its what I was craving.

 

[Vanilla Bean]

I'm doing a "box" thing for Mark tonight..like Hamburger Helper, but something else.

Me, I have no idea. I might end up eating late again tonight, because I am clueless when I get home from work.. I don't want the hamburger stuff...doesn't agree with my stomach these days.

I was thinking a grilled cheese and baked french fries. I don't know, I want something with more piz-zazz. A panini sounds good, but I don't have the right bread. I'll let ya know ... it probably will be a grilled cheese and fries.

 

[Chicks]

Swai Picatta and Black beans with garlic and spinach

My meatloaf experiment turned out great. I mixed a bunch of ground beef with egg, chopped onion, garlic, lots of salsa, shredded cheese, taco seasoning, little dry oatmeal. Topped with salsa and baked. Yum. If I'd had taco chips, I would've used them instead of oatmeal.
