Whats for Dinner #9

[Naomi]

We had spag bol last night as well, lovely on a cold winter night.

It's chicken schnitzel, homemade bean mix and vegetables here tonight. Boring but yum.

[michelle_72]

We had pasta for the first time since being in China and it wasnt noodles either - real italian pasta. We found a place which sells it and we made our own tomato sauce - it made such a change from chinese food and it was delicious.

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

We're having hot dogs tonight :hehe:

[Naomi]

LMAO will have to change my title now Angie

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

Oh yes please do but not to anything else to do with food LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO

[yomamma]

we had chicken schnitzels with beans, potatos and mushroom and bacon carbonara

[Patricia]

We had chicken tonight with my famous fried rice :)

[Telori]

We had steak casserole...with teryaki sauce as the base, it was delish. It had new potatoes, corn, tin mushies, carrot, cauliflower and brocolli in it and it was yummo. Jaimee had seconds and Aiden pigged out to...that's after he had his own dinner of spag bol and custard for dessert!

[sandydee]

we had pork chops,beans,carrots,corn,brussel sprouts and pasta carbonara.:yes: then i just had toast with might mite on it:hehe:

[Cinconinos]

I second the hot dogs for dinner. We are going on vacation in one week and trying to clear out our fridge. But we are also having some yummy steamed squash and zucchini that I grew in our tiny garden!:d:

[Telori]

Oh! Can you post the recipe please?

[Bronzed Goddess]

Here you go Naomi

Its my own recipe and i just have it scibbled on a piece of paper and im not sure exactly how much i use of everything, i kinda just throw it all in :P


Spinach, Ricotta & Pumpkin Lasagne

Bunch of spinach
garlic - lots of it!!!
Zucchini
Tin of four bean mix or lentils
250g tub of ricotta cheese
250g tub of natural plain yoghurt
grated cheese
Jap pumpkin
Lasagne sheets
Tin diced tomatoes
mixed herbs
1 onion
s & p
dash wistorchire sauce

Sauce-
Cook onion and garlic in frypan till brown
add mushrooms, zucchini, four bean mix, tin tomtoes, spinach, wistorchire sauce, herbs,salt and pepper.

Dice pumpkin and boil, microwave or bake until soft, then mash. (DONT add to sauce mix).

Alternate layers of sauce, lasagne, cheese sauce and pumpkin, finishing with cheese sauce and a sprinkle of parmasen cheese.

Easy, healthy and yummy! Hope it makes sense!!:)

[Patricia]

Sausages..I know boring and uninviting but I don't care ..I want them and I am having them. If Callum or Adam come into my kitchen and moan about the menu I will quite simply stab a fork through their hands at the very first opportunity!

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

LOL Patricia.

We are havings tacos, but I dont have taco sauce, I didnt add any sauce today and its quite bland and Ty had to have tomato sauce :hehe: sometimes I add a raguleto sauce mix but I forgot today, its been ages since we've had them

[Naomi]

Thanks Bronzed Goddess - it sounds so yummy, I'm going to try it this week.

Tonight I am so lucky! Going to MILs for a roast :d: You should all be envious because she makes the best roast dinner :yes:

Don't all mother in laws:roll: :roll:

[yomamma]

Don't all mother in laws:roll: :roll:
only if you like it still mooing



we had burgers and chips

[Naomi]

LMAO I may be a MIL someday ... pity my poor children in law, I don't make a good roast. At least they will never hear "No-one makes a roast like my mum!" (well, they may hear it but it won't be meant that way :hehe: )

[yomamma]

Naomi I use oven bags ,have you tried them?

[Naomi]

No ... you put the meat in them? I just put it on a roasting pan and hope for the best:headh:

[yomamma]

yeah you put in some flour shake it about then put the meat in and tie up the opening. keeps all the juices in and cooks in less time. You find them in the same section as glad wrap and foil. Be careful when opening because of the steam.

[purple_kitten]

last night we had a chicken stirfry with rice. Then for dessert we made some apple and cinamon pies and had them with icecream.

[Patricia]

Steak tonight..with onion gravy..potato in their jackets..pumpkin..peas...beans and carrots..:)

[Patricia]

Naomi...I would love to see how it turns out...sounds yummy..can we have a pic please?

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

I'm having wrap things with chicken in it :d: BUT Ty doesn't like the chicken and salad on the plate :roll: and Gav is throwing up so I'm not really enjoying it, darn kids :(

Thought I would show you my salad..I made this once when a relative was here for dinner (lets call her 'She who shall remain nameless!')..she told me my salad was all wrong...veges and fruit should never be seen together...didn't stop her from eating everything in sight and coming back for seconds...:P

Patricia of course I look in your windows how else would I learn to cook
Cal is like my hubby when he has Silver side he likes salad to, but why can't they have the first night hot with veges and the next night cold with salad :yes: I am the only one that likes mustard sauce and the recipe makes a whole pot full, I will try and freeze a tiny bit and see what happens

Wow that looks one yummy salad I love fruit with the main meal, they go so well together, have you tried nectarines with steak, Listen to me as if you need a tip from me LMAO LMAO

[Barbara]

The boys had homemade chicken parma's last night - I had the same but just with a chicken fillet - they were delicious :d:

Haven't made my mind up yet what to have tonight :dk:

[Telori]

That salad looks great Patricia...I love having rockmelon with my salad...didn't know they shouldn't be seen together :P :hehe:

We had home done burgers and chips last night for dinner, tonight it's sausages and mash with other vegies...started my healthy eating kick today, so I'm not having sausages...I bought a heap of weight watchers stuff...(cost a bundle, but should last me a few weeks)...and enough to get me started...

[Telori]

Chicken rissoles, scalloped pumpkin, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower and beans :d:

What is scalloped pumpkin?

[Patricia]

I have cooked a chicken and will have it with some potato wedges and a salad platter (selection of Adam's faves..such as olives..sundried tomatoes...hardboiled eggs etc)

Also still have some leftover pork and corned meat so he can have a selection of cold cuts too :)

[~Jodie~]

Yum Yum Wish you could share with me :hehe:

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

Oh Patricia sounds delish.

Ty actually ate, the meat out of a pie, not exactly healthy but I figured he'd eat it cause he loves mince :) didnt want the pastry but

Gav had one too and I might have another soon, I only had the pastry from Ty's before

[Telori]

We just finished...had steak with vegi's...mash potato (mashed in no fat milk), mashed pumpkin, carrot and sweet potato (mashed in vegi water), and corn...very healthy and very yummy...But now I'm having a beer as my after dinner drink...:hehe:

[yomamma]

[Admonsta]

I'm going to crumb some fish tonight. The kids will eat anything if it's crumbed.

[Patricia]

Hmm not really sure yet..have to take Cal to the specialist soon so will give it some thought while I am there and buy anything I need before I come home..:)

[Naomi]

I might have a go at risotto tonight ... although this week we've already had lasagne and pasta, so it's a very Italian week here.

Or else, what about a roast, haven't had one for a while. Maybe lamb.

[Patricia]

Ok the decision has been made..Beef Chow Mein and potatoes in their jackets :)...nice and easy :D

[Telori]

The kids are having pasta with sauce and cheese topping...I am having Chicken Risotto....We've had meat and vegies for the last two or three nights so I thought something easy tonight...

[Patricia]

Ok change of plans now..chicken kiev and salad now..chow mein tomorrow night now I think :)

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]
