Here is the first post in response to your writing topic ideas. This one is from one of my favorite girls, Christina. Thanks for the idea!
You should write about cooking...maybe your favorite things to make or how you decide what meals to fix....or how you deal with a husband who doesn't eat vegetables!
I'll just start with the meals we had last week for dinner.
Monday: Baked Cheese Ravioli and Breadsticks- The ravioli is frozen, throw it in a dish with meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake for about an hour. Breadsticks were also frozen but really good. It's a pretty easy meal. I didn't bother with a salad this time.
Tuesday: Chick-Fil-A -This is just something fun we do with friends sometimes when the kids can eat for free.
Wednesday: Baked Swai, rice pilaf, steamed veggies- I cannot make rice pilaf. It had no flavor. The fish was good but the boys didn't eat it. They had leftover macaroni and cheese.
Thursday: Orange Chicken with steamed rice- Pretty easy. I found a bottle of Panda Express' orange chicken sauce. The boys like eating with chopsticks so they actually ate pretty well.
Friday: Buffalo Wild Wings to celebrate a friend's birthday
Saturday: Rochelle's Chilli with cornbread muffins- Yes, I have a friend that makes great chilli. She won't give me the recipe so she makes it for us any time we have the need for chilli. Crazy, I know.
Other things we love:
enchiladas, tacos or quesadillas with rice, beans, salsa and guacamole (the boys often just eat chips and salsa)
spaghetti
pizza or calzones
breakfast for dinner, often biscuits and gravy, breakfast casserole or waffles
grilled chicken and fried potatoes
mac & cheese, the homemade version
There's the basics. Hopefully I will write more posts about what I cook! Remind me if I forget!
I MADE THE BLOG!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a chicken and rice recipe if you would like it - it doesn't have vegetables in it :) I can't make pilaf either - it tastes terrible. I just gave up, buy the Uncle Ben's in a box and cook it with chicken or veggie stock instead of water. Much better - Uncle Ben mastered something I continually fail at.
ReplyDeleteJames doesn't eat veggies?! Oh, he'd die over here! I *love* vegetables. More than dairy products, more than fruit, more than meat, more than bread. So we eat lots and lots of veggies. Lucky for Sam, he likes 'em fine. This was a great post idea, by the way. :)
ReplyDeleteJames is very selective in his veggie eating habits. He eats peppers, cucumbers and salad. And potatoes if you count them as a vegetable. I most often serve a side of plain veggies. Boring.
