So what's on the menu tonight?

Roast Beef w/mash potoes and a veggie.

I am thinking Chinese for tonight, haven't had it in awhile and have been craving stir-fried veggies....

We need a superquick meal tonight. Good thing there's just enough left of the Mac and Cheese from last night.

I'm eating one of my favorite meals, a steak, baked potato and a veggie with a glass of red wine.

I love good mac and cheese - homemade. Do you make a white sauce and add the cheese for the sauce and then bake it?

I've just spent the last 2 hours making beef barley soup, beef stew and Leek/Potato soup.

Yup. Plus a good dose of dry mustard and some cayenne for oomph. Awesome stuff. I embellished a little last night, using some bacon bits in the body and on top and some tomato slices on top as well. We approve.

Lots of yums there. I love beef barley soup. I don't make it too often, since Rob prefers cream soups, and there is no lack of options there. So, I get my fix when I'm out mostly.

Spaghetti and garlic bread.

Tonight we had marinated steak, fried egg, hot wedges and a salad with lettuce, tomato, cheese and carrots.

Macadamia ice-cream for dessert.

Sam, seriously, you make me hungry!
Because of you I went to 7/11 for Ice cream tonight - so, on the menu, rice, refried beans, tomatoes, and for dessert - napoletano ice cream and white chocolate!
BTW - that ice cream cone is called Drummestick in here, and it is made by Nestle

Just threw the makings for Beef Barley Soup into the Crock Pot so that will be what I am having for dinner. With some nice crusty bread, and a couple of pieces of cheese. For dessert Black Cherry Frozen Yogurt...

Sounds good. I did that yesterday. Hubby always wants me to put barley in my beef stew and I refuse because I'm the one cooking it and I think barley belongs in beef soup not beef stew. So anyway, I got to feeling sorry for him yesterday and figured if I was making stew anyway, why not use the slow cooker and make him some soup. I basically just put the same ingredients cut smaller and different herbs and spices into the soup, yes, plus the barley, so he got both yesterday and was very happy.

My parents were visiting last week so we went out a lot

Last night though we made quesadillas at home and they were yummy. Tonight is something with flat iron steak and red potatoes.

Roast beef, veggies, gravy and dinner rolls.

portabella fajitas, I can't wait!

mozarella filled pasta, chicken and mushroom bolognese sauce,yummy.xx

My daughter has requested homemade Mac N Cheese. I make it with the white sauce with mustard and onion, then bake.

Can someone please pm me a recipe for mac n cheese, the only mac n cheese we get over here is tinned or ready meal and I have been looking for a decent recipe,I thought I would ask the experts

I had chicken and some dinner rollls.

Tried a new sauce from a local supplier that we really like, Thai Princess, which, not surprisingly does mostly Thai stuff. But they also venture out into other flavours, particularly using local fresh ingredients, and thus far they have not disappointed. Today's experiment was a blueberry sauce, which on whiff promised good things, but tasty though it was, fell a little short of the mark. We had it with chicken and veg over rice, and it was nice, but not spectacular. I need to decide whether it was tasty enough simply to remember that it needs to be tweaked, or whether it just fell too far short of expectations.

DH is making something with chicken cutlets...maybe homemade chicken fingers!
