All right, let's get this party started!


We're having marinaded (ginger/soy/garlic/onion) pork chops (dh does them on the grill) fresh green beans from the garden and my favorite strawberry salad - romaine lettuce, pecans, sliced strawberries and a lemon juice/red wine vinegar dressing. YUM. I'm so looking forward it!

What are you having for dinner tonight?

Whoa that sounds awesome- I love that kind of salad too! I'm trying to make a Greek impossible pie tonight- its spinach and feta and ricotta and stuff...

Last night I made crescent lasagna and a pumpkin pie, that was super yum.

I can't bring myself to cook meat these days, the smell and preparation just grosses me out too badly.

Food, especially dinner, still makes me wanna hurl. I am so excited to be able to eat and enjoy it again.

The family will probably have pizza tonight. I can't eat dinner and dh has been so helpful with making it many night.

When I stop feeling so sick, I will make 'General Tao's tofu' with extra broccoli from vegweb.com. I usually LOVE that recipe.

Nothing fancy tonight since we ate out for lunch - I'm too embarrased to say where (totally unhealthy, but my celebration meal for finally feeling like eating again!


We're going out of town for the weekend, so won't be cooking for a couple of days, but can't wait to write down all your wonderful ideas when I get back!
MI_dawn, the salad does sound incredibly delicious! Can you post the dressing recipe for us? Thanks!

:

Dressing is super-super simple (the strawberries totally make this salad dressing - doesn't taste half as good without them):

1 part lemon juice (for individual salad, I use 2 TBSP)
1 part red wine vinegar (2 TBSP)
1 TBSP sweetener of your choice

Drizzle oil over salad, then dressing.

And eat!

(munkeesmama: Mmmmm garlic bread!

I am excited about dinner tonight.
We are having salad (organic spring mix, boiled eggs, garden tomatoes, avocado, feta, parmesan... whatever else is in there...), loaded baked potatoes, and ribeyes. And I am making chocolate covered strawberries for desert.

DH got a gift certificate to a fancy restaurant in town. One of his student's parents gave it to him as an end of the year gift. We're finally going out tonight! Of course, we'll show up in jeans and hope no one gets too snooty! hehe
: Seriously, tho, this is Oregon...they should feel lucky we don't show up in red flannel and logger's boots, right?

i like mine with lots of real butter, sour cream and a little bit of bacon and cheese.
ds and dp will put a lot of cheese and bacon. There is an unopened bag of organic baby carrots that have been sitting in the fridge all week, and so I got a package of ranch dip mix that you blend w sour cream, thinking we might be more inclined to eat them with a dip. Now I am thinking this will be very interesting in the potatoes.

Wow! Y'alls dinners sound great! Wish this was a local DDC, we could have a potluck.


Nothing complex for dinner tonight. Baked mac n' cheese with whole wheat noodles. Basically delicious comfort food!


And... I'm sure it needs a veggie so I'll probably pull some frozen broccoli out of the freezer.

My husband is out at a staff meeting, so we're taking advantage of not needing to deal with his egg allergy.

Neela and I are having egg-in-a-hole (actually, she has requested a window instead of a hole). And some fruit- probably blueberries.

Didn't eat the chili. We took the girls swimming when DH got off work at 5. Well, he swam, I sat in the cafe and filled out massive amounts of paperwork for DD1's evaluation in 1.5 weeks.
By the time we got out of there, everything was so hungry so we just went to the Pizza Hut across the street.
I managed to eat bread sticks but that was it.

Blackberry lemonade! That sounds fabulous!

I'm making tacos tonight. Need to use up all those garden tomatoes! (I still have a plastic container full - even after making "sun dried" ones in the oven - OMG were those GOOD!)
