I can relate. When I lived in CA, since it rarely got really cold, I even grilled in the rain!! You just can't beat that flavor--oh, and the clean-up is so much easier!!  |

Remember in one of my earlier posts when I put my leftover roast with some gravy in those zip-lock plastic containers and froze them?? Well tonight I'm taking one of those containers out and warming it in the microwave, making some mashed potatoes, some squash, a couple slices of bread to put the roast beef and gravy on---walaaa--hot roast beef sandwiches. Fast, easy and little clean-up. And you all know that is "my" kind of meal. |

The following are some simple ideas I fix from time to time:
Chili (using ground beef, canned tomatoes and a mix) served over a baked potato or rice
Hamburger stroganoff (also with ground beef, can of mushroom soup, sour cream, sprinkle of nutmeg) served over rice or noodles.
Tacos (with fixings)
I'll try to think of some more. |
I was stuck in that "rut" again this AM trying to figure out what I am going to make for dinner. I decided to start at page one on this thread and I found out what to make. Thanks kaykay, I'm going with the stroganoff! Whew!! |

Kaykay, I had the stroganoff tonight...I did add some mushrooms and I was having a glass of wine so I added a bit of that--why not?? It actually turned out pretty good! I like the idea of having the wine in hand and also a bit to add to your recipe!! |

My dinners are so boring. Tonight I'm having yogurt and raspberries. Does anyone want to invite me over?

Why?? Is there a medical reason you are only eating something like this? If I wre single I would probably eat like that everynight. But, since my husband enjoys food I am stuck trying to figure new and different things to make. That is why I started this thread. I am domestically challenged!! But I am making an effort. As I said--if it were only for me I'd be doing the fast food thing or simple things like you mentioned.
