It's JUNE! What's For Dinner? - Page 8

post #141 of 171
DH requested the "Italian beef and bowtie recipe" that I make, so I guess we will have that. I do not have any bowties, so I will use some other shape of pasta.

Italian beef and pasta skillet
sauteed zuchini
fresh corn on cob
leftover sweet baby greens salad

I'm jealous of you guys who have kids and DPs making requests!

It's up to me alone to make up the menu, and half the time I catch crap for it. "Ugh, you know I hate peppers!" or "Didn't we have this last month" or my favorite "This 'meal' has no meat in it! Why not!?!?":

That's my fault, I need to speak with my sister (the 19yo who lives with me and does no cooking of her own).

Anyway--Back on track!

Today we're having Thai (out with the boyfriend! Yay!). But I have some red, yellow and blue potatoes that are starting to go south....I might try to make those crash potatoes. BF and I are both big fans of salty, crispy food.

Tomorrow it'll be summer stuff--hotdogs, burgers, watermellon and ice cream

Sunday will be dip night-garlic naan dipped in lentils, apples dipped in peanut butter, grapes dipped in yogurt...

Monday I'm thinking cold pasta and bean salad, to which I might add some grilled chicken or tuna from a pouch.

Tuesday will be a crock pot chicken, since I'm working, and hopefully I'll have a good idea for the rest of the week from this thread.

Last night I roasted a local free-range organic chicken, with mashed potatoes and gravy, and salad from our CSA. Tonight it's more salad, with the no-knead bread and maybe some cheese on the side. Tomorrow, chorizo tostadas.

We had Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu last night. It was pretty good and simple. We grilled a few extra chicken breasts so I probably will do something with that tonight.

Last night was chicken florentine and noodles (I'm in a comfort food mood, lately) Tonight is supposed to be a cook-out at our swim/tennis co-op...but if we have more storms, probably out for dinner.

Last night I served shrimp sauteed in butter and garlic over angelhair pasta with orange and red sauteed peppers. It was really, really eh. I was disappointed. I'm going to stick to (gasp!) regular white pasta I think...the difference in taste, and more so the texture, of whole wheat or "smart" pasta just isn't worth it IMO.

Tonight my boyfriend is cooking pork shoulder cooked in the crockpot with sauerkraut and chopped cabbage. Sounds interesting, and I'm looking forward to trying it.

Tomorrow will be baked chicken legs, noodles with poppy seeds and butter, and some kind of mixed frozen veggies.

Thursday--not sure yet.

Friday will be crock pot BBQ ribs (mmm), cheesy rice and corn on the cob. This is a special meal for ds--his fave--to celebrate the last day of school.

Saturday we're going out to eat to celebrate fathers day for my boyfriend and his sons.

Tonight is hamburgers and baked fries. And probably some assortment of fresh fruits and veggies.

Tonight is turkey tacos. yum, yum, yum!

Last night I made cheese and basil polenta with marinara sauce and sauteed summer squashes.

Sunday night we had baked red grouper with braised carrots and pesto rice.

We are having 15 bean soup with white rice, sauteed spicy turnip greens, fresh corn on cob and cornbread.

It was supposed to be white beans, but I forgot we have no white beans. So, we will have the 15 bean mix.

It'll be a hot one this weekend so I did all my food prep yesterday: Spanish Pork Stew in the crock pot with warm tortillas and a salad tonight, then marinated lamb chops on the grill with cous cous tomorrow and marinated pork chops with cole slaw and baked beans on Sunday.
