I'm thinking making homemade country fried steak (my own recipe- less fat and grease), biscuits, and a spinach salad to go with it. What are you fixing? I might just be lazy and heat up some ravaoli and pasta sauce. What are you fixing for dinner?

I have to work till midnight so I wil be having a frozen burrito. As for what my DH eats its up to him. Sometimes he just waits till I get home. I think he is pretty lost without me and it is just easyer to wait for me.

We will be having beef stir fried in teriyaki sauce with steamed vegetables on steamed rice. (I love my steamer!!!
)

Nikki - do you make biscuits from scratch? My hubby really misses his biscuits, hes a southern boy
If I can get a recipe for that and for that white gravy, he will be happy.

I hate lent sometimes. Fish makes me sick, so I am basically confined to eating toast. Or else just some noodles.

I'm not fixing dinner because it isn't broken.
Joking about that, but I'll probably make two mini pizzas (pita bread, herbs and spices, mozza cheese, Italian dressing).

This recipe is really similar to mine for the biscuits- only i also add 2 teaspoons of sugar to mine and i also just a tiny pinch of garlic too (sounds weird but they taste AMAZING!
).

(also- if you or your hubby are lactose intolerant- you can substitute regular/buttermilk for Lactaid milk
Tastes just as good! I've yet to find a lactose free buttermilk though- so i usually just use regular buttermilk and suffer


As far as gravy goes- i personally do not like it- but when i cook for others- this is the recipe that i use. I have it saved on my pc

)

No problem
(I use the Lactaid Fat Free in the purple carton for my milk -i use it in just about everything i cook with and it tastes just the same as milk so you can't taste a difference- the food turns out great and doesn't kill my stomach!
)If you're not going to be eating them though and are just making them for your hubby- use buttermilk- it is SOOOOOOOO good when put into homemade biscuits/pancakes/cornbread
lol yup, i'm a southern belle!

You're always welcome to show up at dinner time

I always make way, way too much.
Not entirely unhealthy, I always use boneless, skinless breast meat.

Seriously, better to come during my soup phase, I use my 7qt crockpot seriously enough for an army.
