WHAT DID YOU HAVE FOR DINNER!!

[degrassi]

Yesterday we had roast turkey, stuffing, and ratatouille.

Today for supper I made homemade turkey noodle soup. Yummmm

 

[Elf Mommy]

Tonight we had shrimp and scallops in a garlic cream sauce. I had it on angel hair pasta. In addition, we had a fresh green salad with iceberg lettuce and spring greens (Elf had some spring greens ). Kirby just drooled.

Oh! That looks so delicious! I'm drooling!

Jason and I were going to meet some of his co-workers at a bbq place after work today. I looked at the menu online this morning, and decided to take a pass. The only non-pork thing available was a half-chicken. I don't like pork (other than bacon), and I don't eat dark meat, which would have left me eating....I don't know what, they don't even have fries.

So I stopped at the Middle Eastern place on my way home, and got some lentil soup to go. (I love that soup so much, I could eat it every day and be happy.) I paired that up at home with some salad. A little bit or Romaine salad mix, lots of spinach, and a hard-cooked egg. Some pita bread on the side. Yum!

I am so ashamed!

I had takeaway again last night :embarrassed:

This thread is showing up just how often I have takeaway, and it's too much!

In fairness though my foot was really hurting me and the painkillers completely knocked me out. In fact I could barely tell Steve what I wanted him to order from me- cooking was completely out of the question!

I think I'll be able to cook tonight so I will finally have the beef in black pepper and yoghurt that I've been wanting, since casserole steak was reduced in the supermarket the other night, so I replaced mine



Beth, that salad looks nice! Very simple but healthy. I have days where I just crave a green salad, and healthy food. I might have to have salad for lunch now...

I bought lobster and crab meat... No idea what to do with it.... I was thinking salad.

Salad would be good, or some sort of pasta sauce maybe?

You should get Big Oven for your iPod! it's awesome! You put the ingredient you want to use and it brings up a whole list of recipes Free too- at least over here...

This time of year, when it's sort of Spring but still cold, I crave fresh veggies like mad! I have to be careful when I'm at the store, or I'll end up with so much veg I can't eat it all.

I try to go really light on dressing, that whole huge salad only had about a tablespoon, just enough for a little flavor.

Jen, you shouldn't be ashamed of how often you eat takeaway. I know a lot of people who eat out far more frequently. My neighbors directly below me come home from work with a Burger King bag *every day*. They usuallyhave their little daughter (kindergarten age) carry it.

Yuck, I couldn't eat a takeaway EVERY day, that's just horrible! I feel bad enough doing it twice a week. I actually do feel bad- as in, I eat it, and it's nice, but I don't feel good about myself afterwards, and I always have a craving for a salad or something green and crunchy....

I always make my own salad dressing too! Always the same - one part white wine vinegar to 4 parts olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Whisk together, et voila! I sometimes use lemon or dijon mustard but usually just keep it simple like that. Saves me a ton of money whereas I used to buy the hideously expensive bottles with so many chemicals and crap in.

I do *sometimes* buy ceasar dressing though, because I like it occasionally, although I really should make my own.

What I really want to do one day is make my own mayonnaise. I LOVE mayonnaise. Especially mixed with sweet chilli dipping sauce- makes sweet chilli mayo and it's sooooo good for dipping cucumber and celery in!

Oh, now I'm huuuuuuungry!

One of my weaknesses is salad dressing. I love ranch dressing. Only on salad, though (Jason puts it on pizza:yuck ), and I am careful to only use just enough that I can barely taste it. Jason makes his own dressing, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and some seasonings. I've got a cute little mini bottle of olive oil that I plan on turning into a homemade dressing bottle as soon as it's empty.

I don't think it means anything weird here. We just call it "takeout" instead of takeaway. It just sounds funny to us.

Well, you can have my share!

I like blue cheese dressing, but I can't stand wings! (Don't like dark meat, and don't like meat with bones in.)

 

[mouse_chalk]

LOL Fran! We call it that because you take it.... away! :biggrin2:

What do you guys call it?

My dinner tonight was rubbish I made steak enchiladas which I normally love but the steak was chewy and tough, and I rang my friend while it was in the oven, chatted too long and burnt it LOL :grumpy:

I did make some fresh guacamole with it which was the only nice thing I had! Serves me right for talking too much I guess

 

[Luvmyzoocrew]

ha ha ha Jen we call it Take out.

Tonight we had Spaghetti, with chicken and tomatoes, mixed in a garlic parmesean sauce, YUMMY.

Ragu has these sauces, it is white, but they only come in small jars. You cut up chicken and cook it how you like it, then you add , canned tomatoes , and the sauce and then simmer and serve over pasta. And of course i always forget to take pics
