I'll make black bean soup to go with leftover sausage balls and cheese and crackers from our New Year's Eve party last night.

My goal for 2009 is to make more of what we eat at home. I would LOVE to make WAY more from "scratch".

The being said.

Tonight, we are having Filet Mignon and Stuffed Baked Potatoes from Omaha Steaks.

This is an awesome goal. This was our goal for 2008 and I'm happy to say we now cook 99% from scratch. Processed food is just not a part of our lives any more! : We are happier, healthier, and love cooking.

My nutrition goal for 2009 is more fruits and veggies, instead of just a little bit at lunch and salad or crudites at dinner. More juicing etc. So we are going to have smoothies every morning for breakfast, and try to have a fruit and a veggie portion with every meal.

Tonight is seafood chowder, crusty homemade bread, and spinich salad with kiwi fruit and toasted pecans and a citrus dressing.

Sunday night my house is getting back together after six weeks of break, and we're making a big dinner of latkes and any other yumminess our families/friends send us back with.

Mashed Potatoes and gravy
Plus a few appetizers left over from last night.

Tonight we had Chicken and Black bean tacos, tomorrow I'm thinking Black Bean Chilli with ground Turkey and the day after Chicken Fajitas.

I have no idea for lunch tomorrow, today we had Tostada's.

Ok, we had a strange day...

breakfast: yogurt and toast for dd, bagel for me
lunch (late due to extra long nap for mommy and dd): chocolate chip pancakes - made from scratch, so they aren't THAT bad, right???
Dinner: chicken cutlets, a broccoli-cheese quiche and a green salad with homemade dressing, all made by my aunt

I think tomorrow we are having eggplant parmagiana made by my mother. Having visiting family means lots of family meals and less cooking for me!

It's Jan 2nd here already, & tonight we had grilled chicken breast & grilled zucchini, with potato/parsley/lemon juice/feta cheese salad & a side of quickly marinaded cucumbers.

That meal sounds kind of fancy, but was actually pretty quick to make. You just need the fresh ingredients on hand.

Tonight is panini's (with yesterday's leftover ham), and some veggie I haven't decided on yet.

Well I made a delicious black eyed pea dish yesterday with sausage, rice & veggies in it. But then my parents came and took us out to dinner.

So we'll eat the black eyed peas tonight. Mmm.

My MIL gave me a pasta press for Christmas, so I think I'll use it tonight to make basil fettuccine! I'm so excited!
