Administrators ladyshanny Posted May 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted May 6, 2015 Last night for us was a mish mash of veggies (mushrooms, snow peas, zuke, red pepper, broccoli, power greens) and some sliced cooked chicken breast and sliced cooked pork tenderloin all stirfried until done and then tossed in sunshine sauce. It was alright....not much to look at, but tasty enough. Tonight is another simple one, Kirkland marinara with a couple pounds of cooked ground turkey. Hubs will have noodles, I'll have.....maybe a sweet potato? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebe_J Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 We're having pan-fried chicken tenderloins with baked potatoes (sweet for me, russet for Hubby), roasted Brussels sprouts, green beans, sliced tomatoes, and maybe a small slice of honeydew melon.

Munkers Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Did anyone try the bed of kosher salt for your roasted potatoes? This is still on my to-do list. I actually ran out of kosher salt and am down to himalayan salt for cooking and a finishing salt for serving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Leftovers tonight~ Well, let me back up a bit-- we are watching the 2 year old son of some friends of ours who went in yesterday to have twins. So Friday night we had the couple and their son and both grandmas over for dinner. So I made a TON of bbq chicken, hamburgers, mixed green salad with various other veggies--broccoli, mushrooms, celery, cucumber, etc, grilled corn (for the non W30's among the group--everyone but me!) and roasted asparagus. I also made a sweet potato salad, because the mom to be doesn't like eggs or mayo and feels that she can't eat nightshades. So I roasted up some sweet potatoes, peeled them while warm and tossed them with a vinaigrette of raw apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, rosemary, basil, oregano and thyme, salt and pepper. After they were cool, I tossed in some chopped green onion and celery--really good! Tonight will be last of the grilled chicken tossed in a salad for dinner for us, and for their little guy and ours, just some chicken and veggies, along with some pickles and olives.

Rebe_J Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Keep em' coming! Many years ago, I owned a small restaurant. It was the most rewarding (and butt-kicking hard) work I've ever done. There's something special about sharing food and seeing people enjoy it.--- It's a bonus when they're willing to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
