I think tonight is going to be simple. Some chicken with some pasta side dish. Since I only have to cook for one now it makes things a lot easier.

I gave up on potatoes in the microwave ages ago, too, but I love broccoli done that way. Sometimes, instead of water, I put two or three pats of butter, a good sprinkle of dill and another of parmesan. No goodies to pour off, and already buttered for the table. I do something similar with carrots, except instead of the dill and parmesan, I use a good sprinkle of ground garlic.
What a great idea - I'm going to try that tomorrow night. I'll pass on the dill as hubby isn't a big fan but love the idea of butter and parmesan.
When I do my asparagus instead of melting butter and adding some lemon juice I could just put that on the asparagus instead of water as well.
I'm excited about dinner now! Thank you Fran.
I fixed a boneless Chuck Roast, corn on the cob, boiled potatoes with the roast gravy and slaw. YUMMY! YUMMY!YUMMY!
Also works with cauliflower, which I don't do often, but we like it for a change.
Hmmm...why didn't I think of that! What a good idea.
Always happy to share.
For tonight, I have avocado and mango begging to be used, so I think we'll have our little favourite salad which combines those with tomato and feta. Pork Cutlets on the BBQ, I think, but not sure what starch -- there are plenty of nugget potatoes, so I might do something with them...
Don't feel like cooking tonight, so we ordered grinders from a local place up the road. Turkey & bacon for me

Not overly hungry tonight so just had a bowl of Asparagus Soup with some shredded chedder on it. Two peaches for dessert, I picked up a basket at the Farmer's Market a couple of day ago so I have been eating lots of them to get them used up before they get to ripe...
I'm taking last night's leftovers, roast beef and broccoli and making an egg noodle casserole out of them.
That should be tasty!
My thoughts exactly! Nice way to use up leftovers.Originally Posted by rapunzel47

I actually enjoy thinking up ways to use leftovers. Last evening I picked up some muchrooms on my way home. I sauteed onions and mushrooms in a mix of butter and olive oil, added basil, salt and pepper. Let that cook a bit and then added a peeled, chopped fresh tomato. I found a container of leftover carrots and about 1 potato from Sunday so chopped the potato and added that and the carrots to the mushroom mixture. Then I made scrambled eggs and placed lots of the mushroom mixture over the top. I combined it all with a salad of different lettuces, edible flowers, tomato, cucumber and pine nuts. Very tasty and easy.
Tonight i'm having chicken kiev, baby boiled potatoes, carrots and fresh garden peas. That's if i can keep my hands from keep going in the bag as i pass through the kitchen!!

Chicken Stir-Fry for me tonight, and peaches for dessert...
Have you got Ontario peaches already?
Have you tried the Red Haven peaches? Those are hubby's favourite. One of our local Farmers' Markets has a gentleman that brings them in fresh from Niagara-on-the-Lake every Saturday and John brings home 2-3 6 quart baskets every Saturday. He loves his peaches.

Yes we just started getting Ontario Peaches at our Farmer's Market about a week ago. Not sure what kind they are because they aren't marked, but they are the smaller ones that are really juicy. Now I am just waiting for the concord grapes to arriveOriginally Posted by Yosemite

Most likely pizza... lots of pizza. I don't know what kinds yet, but at least two varieties... Today is moving day so to bring folks into helping, I am doing lots of pizza for dinner.

We are helping some friends with moving so it will probably be pizza for us tonight also. Seems pizza is the standard moving meal!
Tomorrow I plan to do something with a pork tenderloin in the crockpot. Not sure what but it will likely involve apples
The crockpots a slow cooker isn't it?.Originally Posted by AlleyGirl

Usually if i cook some pork steaks in foil i put slices of apple on top, so is that all you do in the crockpot?
2 words, now sing it with me..."Hot Pockets". I am such a chef
