Sorry I missed the post a few days. Tonight was nothing glamorous at my house - organic chicken hot dogs eaten quickly so we could catch the $2 movie at the town hall theater. Hope all is well at your houses...been too hot to cook!

Tonight I'm exhausted! Been teaching camp classes all week. I'm making chicken fajitas with a twist - I'm using squash cut into strips along with the pepper as I've got tons from the garden.
Hugs!

I'm planning on making chicken & lentil stew tonight. Mostly because its easy and doesn't require me to heat the oven. :)

The squash in last night's fajitas was amazing! Will do that again! Also made a raspberry cobbler. So yummy! Tonight a friend is bringing her kids and pizza. :)

I'm doing a chicken & veggie penne with spicy cream sauce. I want to make a dessert too but can't decide what to make. I might go with my favorite brownies. I've been needing some chocolate, lol.

At my house I am gettin' my farmgirl spirit in the kitchen: making "Bridges of Madison County Cookbook" brown sugar meatloaf, red mashed potatoes, and tossed salad with home-grown lettuce, cucumber, herbs, and squash, with homemade buttermilk dressing. Throwin' some buttermilk cornbread together, too. MMMMMMMMmmmmm!

We had breakfast for dinner - waffles and dippy eggs. Incidentally, if anyone is looking for a great waffle recipe, this one is really good - light and fluffy without the whole separating the eggs bit. If you like a crisp crust, just put them in the oven (directly on the rack) at 200* for awhile - most people do this anyway, to keep them hot, but leave them all in about 5 minutes extra and wow - so good! I haven't tried the topping, just the waffles, and as I rarely have buttermilk on hand, I just sour the milk with lemon juice and it works fine. Mix in a big bowl, because the batter sort of rises as it sits. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Belgian-Buttermilk-Waffles-with-Glazed-Bananas-232170

@Lindsey: thanks for the reminder/recipe on waffles! I have a really nice waffle maker that I have not pulled out in years! For this weekend's dessert treat, I will make waffles with vanilla ice cream and top with fresh raspberry jam!
Last night I made a "Bakeover" but need to remember to order some more of MaryJane's baking mix...I'm out and it makes an easy meal so much easier! Tonight I am throwing a pork roast in the oven with fresh garlic and rosemary (love the way it smells when cooking), and a squash casserole, and a cucumber salad with sour cream/buttermilk dressing.
Hugs!

Tonight was french toast that I finished off in the oven with local maple syrup and bacon (I think I was just as excited to get a cup of bacon fat for future use!).

Kristina, what time is dinner at your house, lol! Sounds so yummy!!
Last night DD had a sleepover at her best friend's house, so I was set to make a small meal on the grill for DH and me. However, my DH surprised, came home early from work and took me out to eat! It was a nice surprise and our dinner was free since we used a gift certificate that someone gave us. :)
Tonight I am making Danish food: Boller I Karry (meatballs in curry sauce) over organic rice and beets. :)

I just made Chicken Strudel. Got the idea from a fictional cooking mystery book my dad just read. I didn't like the ingredients the book had in it's recipe, so I just shredded some pressure cooked chicken that had been seasoned with garlic and onion. Then rolled out some Puff pastry into a rectangle. Put a strip of the chicken down the center, added some VegAll and a small bit of chicken gravy. I then cut the sides of the puff pastry into strips and folded them one over the other to made a "braid". Cooked this in the oven till the pastry dough was cooked through. Served it with mashed potatoes and more chicken gravy. Yummmmmm..... It really was just a glorified chicken pot pie.
Life's too short to sit in a box all day. Get out and do something creative.
