I miss the What's for Dinner threads. So I'll ask the question, lol. meals get boring and it has always been nice to see what everyone else is cooking up for some interesting ideas around here..

What's For Dinner?
 
Tonight we are having chicken cacciatori , and probably some noodles on the side or maybe rice.

Your chili sounds good, I've been itching to start making some again now that it's getting cooler
 
roast chicken, baked sweet potato, spinach sauted with lots of garlic.
chicken is a big one so will be good for the weekend.

Nan
 
The same with my pot of Chili Nan. There is enough left for the chili dogs I have been craving for awhile now. I'll make them up tomorrow.
 
I made burgers and fries today. Right now I am making a batch of brownie biscotti and some chocolate chip peanut butter cookies. I am also baking cornbread to make dressing for Sunday dinner.
 
Meatloaf, Sweet Potato Apple Bake, Baked Potatoes, & Avacado Wedges. For desert A Big Latte' at Star Bucks, and shared Cookies with the girls on our outing to Barnes and Noble, yummy!
 
I ended up making brownie biscotti drizzled with milk chocolate and Jon's fav sugar cookies. It smells very good in here right now. Sunday dinner will be roasted chicken, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, mac and cheese and corn salad. Since I was sick last Sunday I figure I owe him a big dinner this Sunday. I have the cornbread in the oven now to make the dressing. I like to use half cornbread and half stale french bread I made from scratch to make dressing.

Friday was grocery-shopping night so I did my easy usual- bought a deli rottisserie hen and tossed some of the picked meat with a huge ol Ceasar Salad w/ parmesan cheese and crunchy garlicky croutons when I got home and got all the stuff put away. Tomorrow I'll pick the rest of the meat and will get a huge chicken and green chili omelet, and maybe a bit of chicken salad- enuf for a sammie or two- out of it.

Sunday I'm making a cranberry eggnog custard pie for my sister to sample. We're putting together plans for our family's Thanksgiving Day feast and she wants to sample the pie to see if she'd rather have that- or a cranberry crisp along w/ the other desserts.
 
Tonight we are having cassoulet with sausages. Seemed like a nice warm meal for our cold fall evening.
 
I made a large pot of beef stew today. Should be enough for me to bring it for work every day this up coming week too.

I finally had the chili dogs I have been craving today with the left over chili from last night. They really hit the spot. We have Sabrete Hot Dogs here. They are the best hot dogs I have ever eaten.
 
I get carried away in the kitchen pork chops, string beans, cole slaw, baked ziti and a salad to die for with almonds, cheeses, dried cranberry, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes. croutons, a little touch of breadcrumbs, broccoli and of ourse lettuce my hubby calls me the mad cook that was on Friday today I made sausage and peppers and string beans and pasta in vodka sauce and I just love to make my own garlic bread so garlic bread too, we had icecream for dessert then to sit and watch a good movie.
 
My meal at work tonight was a big wedge of mushroom/swiss cheese quiche a dish of fruit salad grabbed from the Kroger's salad bar, and a pumpernickel roll.
 
I love sausage and peppers. I recently blogged over on Multiply with a sausage and peppers recipe. It's strange how my southern friends have never heard of such a thing. here in the northeast they are a favorite. Just the smell of it cooking drives me insane.
 
I had a little dilema I thought I had a backup of sphaghetti sauce I was about to serve the sausage and peppers and found out no sphaghetti sauce so while I was serving the other dishes I quickly cut up tomatoes and green peppers a dash of black pepper and garlic and italing seasoning sauted this quickly used my crusher to crush all ingredients to a pulp to make my sauce thicker to serve WOW I was sweating sausage and peppers without sphaghetti sauce is a no no and just two nights ago I made fajitas without sour cream I suggested ranch dressing instead
 
Tomorrow I am making shrimp scampi with toasted french bread for dinner. I plan to make biscuits, eggs, gravy, sausage and home fries in the morning for breakfast. I havent made a big breakfast in weeks.
 
Tomorrow I am selecting the easy way out home made sweet potato fries/homemade burgers with a juicy salad and brownie for desert topped with cheese cake
 
Took the leftover chili and made chili-cheese dogs!!! Wonderful, too good! I do not care if it's fattening:D I wish I had the self-control of my youthful days! Now I simply feel life is too short to be deprived of something that tastes so great!
 
dinner

Today we are having one of my husband's co-workers and his family over for dinner. I'm making a salad with romaine, shallots, kiwi berries and feta with a raspberry dressing. Cocoa spiced slow roasted pork with onions, roasted broccoli, smashed potatoes and for dessert I made a double layer gluten free carot cake with cream cheese frosting.
