NCDR: WFD?

Smallllmin · December 2014

I'm stealing borrowing from TTGP...

What's for dinner everyone?

(AKA: I need more cooking ideas).

Smallllmin · December 2014

Trader Joe's Mandarin Orange Chicken and brown rice with tiny string beans.

AKA: Put frozen chicken in the oven, put frozen rice in the microwave, put frozen string beans in microwave.
Voila.
Idiot ...me proof.

Leftover spinach and cheese tortellini that I made for post baby with done salad. M seems to be tolerating dairy now, so we can finally eat the stuff I made.

bumpuser10179393 · December 2014

I pan fried some pork chops and made a cream gravy to go with it. Also had some broccoli and macaroni and cheese to go with it.

MapleMomma · December 2014

Ham & cheese hot pockets?

nanabanana06 · December 2014

Sloppy joes and avocado fries.

Rrrrrachel · December 2014

Meatballs, jarred marinara, and noodles cooked in the sauce.

ElleBeeDub · December 2014

We had sloppy joes here too! High five Nana! =; we had sweet potato wedges with ours, though.

I'm on an avocado kick, so I thought I'd try fries. I'll probably do sweet potato next time.

Taco salad!

DecafGrandeMocha · December 2014

@Smallllmin‌, I have a freezer half filled with Trader Joe's goodness that I can no longer eat due to MSPI

Anyway, tonight's dinner will be mini pizzas made with TJ whole wheat pitas as the crust. Pepperoni for MH and Mediterranean (hummus & vegan cheese instead of pizza sauce & normal cheese) for me. I sauteed TJ crimini mushrooms, frozen tri-color bell pepper medley and onions as the veggies on the pizzas.

@redrockmama‌, how old is M? That's great dairy is being tolerated again. Trader Joe's spinach & cheese tortellini is sitting lonely in our freezer.

Last night was greek salad with smoked turkey.

Tonight was supposed to be roast, but no one put it in the crock pot. Damn.

Ugh that sucks.
And you're making me hungry...

I'm thinking crock pot is a good choice for tonight.
Organic chicken noodle soup?
This rain is depressing!

That happens in my house all the time too.

sarenu1 · December 2014

I'm going to try pumpkin soup tonight. And chicken ravioli.

Smallllmin · December 2014

Ok, we're out of chicken... just frozen ground turkey.
Any ideas?
Crock pot + frozen ground turkey?

Halp.

TJ1979 · December 2014

Make meatballs out of the ground turkey?

Smallllmin · December 2014

It's frozen... what do I do?

Ya'll have yet to know that I am terrifically challenged in the kitchen.

I need step by step instructions usually lol.

TJ1979 · December 2014

I'm pretty sure you would have to thaw and cook the ground turkey in skillet first before putting it in a crock pot. If that's all you have, you might want to forgo the crock pot idea.
But if you still want soup, you could thaw and cook the ground turkey, then make taco soup. Here's a typical recipe:

Smallllmin · December 2014

@TJ1979‌ This is doable! I'll report back later.

sarenu1 · December 2014

Or turkey chili. Saute with onion and garlic.

Toss it in the slow cooker with tomato sauce and diced tomato.

Add beans.

toss in Cumin, Chili Powder, Pepper

Smallllmin · December 2014

@TJ1979‌ @sarenu1‌ Thoughts on using this instead of tomato sauce for either recipe? We are weirdly out of sauce.

I'd go for it. I'd just saute the turkey. Drain the fat. Add it to the soup. I'd skip diced tomatoes (it looks like there might be some in there already). You could add beans. And taste for added spices.

Rrrrrachel · December 2014

Tonight is veggie beef soup with homemade beef broth because I have wah privilege.

stoneycakes · December 2014

Tonight is roasted chicken with mashed parsnips and probably roasted fennel.

Rrrrrachel · December 2014

I love fennel. I did some roasted fennel and beets awhile ago that was so good. Bonus my husband didn't like it so I got to eat it all.

Dinner is late tonight because DH is working late. But if you hop a flight right now, you can come over early and we can pregame together.

They were just slices of avocado that I breaded and baked in the oven. They were ok.

I like fennel, too, but I've never had it cooked. My ILs always serve it raw on antipasto platters when they host parties and that's how I was introduced to it. I'm looking forward to trying it roasted.

Rrrrrachel · December 2014

It caramelizes nicely.

Can I come?
Do you live somewhere where it's not currently raining?

LOL. It's raining here like crazy. I'm not even going to leave the house or get out of my pajamas today.

TJ1979 · December 2014

@ovenrack Please see my chicken and rice recipe. Thanks.

TJ1979 · December 2014

Put it in the FAQs @nanabanana06!

I've got some boneless skinless chicken thighs that I must have bought while ago in a daze. I'm not sure what to make.

I'd be making adobo. I love me some adobo.

stoneycakes · December 2014

OR, I like to drizzle boneless skinless thighs with Vinaigrette or even Caesar dressing. Whatever you have on hand. Then top with bread crumbs and bake at 350 until finished. About 40-45 min.

nanabanana06 · December 2014

Oh, and tonight I'm having honey glazed steelhead salmon and carrots with some sort of quinoa.
