A chicken noodle casserole with cheese, sour cream, and frozen peas. I put it together last night and par-baked it. Will finish baking it for dinner tonight.
That sounds amazing!!

Sounds great! cannot tolerate food snobs, lol
Pork chops and mashed potatoes with gravy, and fried okra. I'm almost embarrassed to say it, but there is a gas station/convenience store down the road that sells crazy cheap home-cooked food in huge portions, and the chops are Monday's offering. It's obviously not fancy, but it always smells fantastic in there, and the swarms of construction workers and other laborers who expect value for their money is a high recommendation. Basic Southern food like Grandma would make, and a lovely break for the resident cook (me.)
That reminds me of my sister. It was late Sunday night and we going to Virginia Beach to watch my nephew play in his hockey game. We were all starving and there were very few restaurants. Finally we came to a Chinese restaurant but there were only 2 cars in the parking lot. She did not want to stop there because like your dad she believes a restaurant is no good unless there are a lot of cars and trucks in the parking lot. I finally got her to go in and eat. It wasn't that great but better than starving.
Some really good meals out there, people! JazzyP, the best way to tell if a place serves good food is by looking in the parking lot. When you see a lot of trucks, the food is good and not overly expensive. My Dad used to tell me that all the time.
OMG----maybe Thursday we will have that--sounds delicious --enjoy your mealFilet mignon, baked potato with butter and sour cream, snow crab legs and sugar snap peas
We were driving back from Chicago a few years ago and had gotten into PA on I-80. There was a restaurant, didn't look the best, but it was crowded with cars and trucks. I told Rick, "If the parking lot is crowded, the food is good! That's what Dad says!" So we went in. The food was delicious, the prices were excellent and we certainly had enough to eat. So now, every time, we come back from anywhere on I-80, we stop there. It's a good place.

You do what you have to... no big deal.. no laughing....
Don't laugh...skillet lasagna from a box and a salad. I'm all about easy tonight.
I really need to make some of my own tomato sauce and a small bunch of meatballs.... yum...
i'll heat up some pasta with spaghetti sauce and a couple meatballs (which i made last night -- they're baked in the oven......love that). a handful of mini pretzels, and a peanut butter brownie ought to round out my meal nicely.
i made the spaghetti sauce too -- using a recipe i found online, as a 'use it up' for some canned tomato juice i had in my pantry. both sauce and meatballs did taste really good!<snip>

Myself, I am having a salad... at least I made that for supper, but since I came back from the hairdresser's I am, freezing...Just had some hot chocolate..
I am thinking of changing that to an easy supper: hot dogs and beans!!
Home made sauce is so much better than that stuff you buy in a jar. I used to grow my own tomatoes and I made the best pasta sauce from them.

i'll heat up more pasta and sauce, with a couple meatballs. probably have a handful of mini pretzels. and a peanut butter brownie for dessert.
I love them too. Pretzels are my #1 favorite salty snack. I love soft pretzels too and have been known to make a meal out of some Superpretzels, cheddar cheese and wine. It's the Florida version of having a baguette, cheese and wine in Paris.

Tonight I had broccoli, cottage cheese and a sour pickle.
You tickle me. You sure love those mini pretzels don't you? I can't eat pretzels. The salt on them make me sick to my stomach.
