So What's On the Menu Tonight?

Probably a green salad with grilled chicken tonight.

I'm feeling a major yen for lasagna. Haven't done it in much too long. The question is whether I'll still feel like doing it when I get home. We eat late anyway, so that's not really an issue. The other possibility, of course, is to be making it at a more leisurely pace while I do other things, including a less time-consuming dinner for tonight, and have the lasagna to look forward to tomorrow....

Tonight I am making my boyfriends favorite before I head back home! Its my moms recipe for Catalina chicken: Here it is if you guys want to try it. Its quick and easy!
Put chicken on a broiling pan.
Broil about 6 to 8 inches from the broiler with the oven door slightly open.
Broil about 6 minutes on each side, turn sooner if starts looking too done.
Baste with a little bit of Catalina salad dressing for about 3 minutes and turn, baste other side about 3 minutes and turn.
Keep basting and turning until done.
Top with a slice of mozzarella or provolone and leave in the oven just long enough for it to melt.
Heat a little bit of Catalina in the microwave to pour over or dip in if you want. Good served with yellow rice, scalloped potatoes, or baked potatoes.

We're having leftover mac and cheese and marie calendars frozen lasanga.

A couple weeks ago I got the yen for lasagna and hubby had a big tub of homemade tomato sauce from our local Italian store. It had been in the refrigerator for about a week and I didn't want it to go to waste so I added some fried ground beef and more tomato sauce to make a nice lasagna sauce. I made 3 pans of lasagna and put them in the freezer - one regular size and 2 smaller ones (one for DD since mommy always makes extra for her even though she has moved to her own place ). Yesterday I baked one of the small ones plus I made a big pot of beef stew so tonight we will have one or the other probably. DD was over yesterday and took a fair portion of the stew.

Five chicken legs( I got a deal on chicken legs, 38 cents a pound). I rolled them in Parmesean( the off-brand I got at the dollar store has a consistency of flour), oregano, and black pepper. I then cooked them in my JetStream Oven and they turned out fantastic( juicy meat, crispy skin).

Sometimes I crush regular potato chips and coat chicken pieces (with skin on) and bake. You don't need any oil as there is some in the chicken and also in the potato chips. I just add a wee touch of water to start the baking and cover with foil for about 1/2 hour for the steam to cook them. Then I take the foil off and let them brown and crisp up until they are done.

Veg stir fry with fried panko eggplant

We had tuna sammiches and chicken noodle soup.

Well, the lasagna is headed for the back burner for now. I don't have the energy to do it for tonight and there's too much else that needs to happen this evening to do it for tomorrow. So, it's Gnocchi sauteed with assorted interesting people -- chicken, onions, mushrooms to start, and we'll see what else falls out of the fridge. And tomorrow we'll deal with tomorrow.

I went on a 3 hour hike today with my friend and we had a picnic on top of the world. It was so much fun!

For dinner tonight Kieran & I are going to have marinated BBQ steak, potato wedges and probably a coleslaw.

Tonight I think it'll be BBQ chicken One of my coworkers was talking about the BBQ chicken he had last night and it sounded so very good.

Spaghetti with garlic toast tonight!

I'm currently cooking up a pot of vegan potato leek soup! It smells great! And it's very healthy, no butter or cream in it. Although...I just ate several Starburst as a snack. D'oh!

I've got a 12lb turkey in the oven and homemade dressing. Having fresh green beans with it. I LOVE Thanksgiving dinners! It also makes the house smell soooo good! I have family coming for dinner later and my brother and sis-in-law are bringing apple pie.

While I was out doing errands this afternoon I stopped by a Barbeque place, so for our Strove Tuesday supper we had Brunswick stew, barbeque, slaw and corn sticks. YUM YUM YUM!

I just had some fish with garlic sauce and oven baked chips for lunch!

I'll probably have a light dinner tonight since I've got a big day of travelling tomorrow.

We had kraft dinner with broccoli and cauliflower in it..

I just made a jasmine rice stirfry with red onion, peas, ginger, and cashews. Sooooo good.

My boyfriend made what he calls Triple Stacked burgers. It's the same as TGIFriday's triple stack. It was a 1/4 pound hamburger with fried ham, bacon, provolone, tomato's and catchup. It was yummy!!!
