So, whats for dinner tonight?

Think hubby is making chicken...if not...frozen waffles!

Frozen waffles are good with icecream on top....after they are toasted of course. That is a great dinner. I'll bet baby will like that too.

Or you could have Chicken and Waffles! There is a restaurant in LA that does that...personally I prefer them seperately.

Chicken & waffels in the same sentence doesn't even sound good....ick!

Its supposedly good....fried chicken and then waffles.

But I do love an ice cream topped waffle!!

yep mom used call them home made ice cream sandwiches. till this day i still eat them with neopalatin ice cream yum yum!

I particularly like the choclate chip waffles with any icecream. Not with chicken though. Crepes stuffed with chicken are ok..but they are way different than a waffle.

I made a huge dinner for my son's birthday yesterday:Ceasar salad, Stuffed pork chops with spinach/parmesan stuffing, mashed potatoes, fresh broccoli, home made bisquits...and turtle ice cream cake from Culvers for desert!! I am eating the other half of my dinner I couldn't finish last night...

Morning, if you arenot against sharing, I would love the recipe for the spinache parm stuffing...I wish I ate at your house.

SO far I have done great on this site with recipes, Volley, s chinese chicken salad was a hit.

We are having spaghetti!!!

Oh Sass, I love pasta, any kind of pasta...

Chicken & Waffles! Strange!!!

Hubby was a doll...made chicken. He makes a mean baked chicken.

I think I'll have ice cream tonite...Baby will love that!!

I know, I haven't had spaghetti in so long, either!!! It was so good.

Chicken and waffles doesn't sound very appetizing to me either!!!

Sass, I always make a huge pot of sauce and freeze it. I also love pasta with alfredo. We are so bad in this house we will even eat it with butter, garlic and parm cheese. I try to add braised veggies to atleas make it a little healthy. I could live on carbs alone.

Me too Rox!! I LOVE all pasta! I, like u, can eat it with butter and garlic... i've discovered ALL kinds of pasta dishes, some made up. ha ha
Ang

Ang, the made up ones are the best. :-)

I had a turkey sandwich and tortilla chips tonight. I got home from work late so it was kind of a throw together.

Sure Roxy...I don't mind sharing at all...and this is one I made up cause my daughter loves spinach.

In a deep fry pan saute 1 onion chopped, and several cloves of garlic...olive oil of course.
Add 2 tbls. butter, 4 cups of seasoned croutons, 1/4 to 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese..1 pkg. of cooked chopped spinach, 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth. Pinch of salt, pepper to taste, a little basil,stir and blend until it's all together. You may have to add more broth ...make as dry or moist as you like.

I also use this to stuff mushrooms and chicken breasts.

morning...that sounds divine!

Oh morning!! That sounds heavenly!!!

I have to admit...I'm a freak. I don't like pasta & I don't like tomato sauce. Except for my mom's sauce. She makes it REALLY thick & puts a ton of sausages & meat balls in there.

Did you say sausages and meatballs?? I think Kashzans ears probably perked up...she is a sausage and meatball freak!

Oh yeah! My mom makes the BEST sausage. Its browned really well. I don't like sausage that you actually feel the skin breaking when you bite it. Her sausage is actually brown on the outside, but juicy inside.

lawn, chicken and waffles don't set well with me either. You did baby well with the baked chicken and ice cream.

Thanks Moorning, I can not wait to try it. My son and I are the only ones who eat spinache but I will cook it for us. I also love mushrooms.

Lawn, my grandpa would stuff his own sausage and it was so good. My Grandma used to make pasta every Firday evening or Saturday morning. That is why I love it so much. Boxed is not the same but the memories are so great.

We had the same in our family...gramps was actually the one who taught us all how to cook...I made home made pasta and sauce a couple of weeks ago and have 2 containers of sauce in my freezer!

Dont' like pasta???? That's unAmerican! ha ha j/k Never met soemone who didn't like pasta but i can say i don't like tomato sauces too much either... It has to be cooked for a really long time. But weirdest thing is i LOVE tomatoes and ketchup is ok but just not anything that has a tomato sauce!
Strange, i know,
Ang

Ang, I love a slow cooked sauce but will not eat any other cooked tomato. I hate when they are cooked on bread, stewed or anything else. Sauce, Raw or ketchup are the only way.

Oh wait just thought of soemthing, i also love pizza!
ha ha
Go figure,
Ang

My oldest daughter won't eat spaghetti because of the sauce. The rest of us love it so when I make spaghetti I put butter and garlic on her noodles and she loves it. Unfortunately I don't have time to do homemade sauce so I use Ragu, but then just add some seasonings to that to perk the taste up.

I also do that....add seasonings, meat, mushrooms, whatever...

On the weekends if I have time I like to let something simmer for awhile.

I also do my own alfredo sauce...which is actually quicker than the tomato.

I love alfrado, I make it and add suateed mushrooms and ground hot and sweet sausage mixed.

How do you guys make your alfredo? I can never get mine to come out quite right! It's either too thick or too thin.

I use a great tool...the best I could possibly find that makes perfect alfrado every time......my Husband.

My best friend has a good recipe that never seems to go wrong. If Volley does not have any helpful hints, I will ask her for her the recipe.

Thanks!!!! I LOVE alfredo so much!

Sass and Roxy-I am running into a meeting, but wil post the alfredo sauce recipe the moment I get back!!

WHAT!!!!!! Work before Alfredo sauce doesn't make sense to me

If I dont work I wont have to worry anymore because I wont have a kitchen to cook it in! :lol: :shock:

You can come cook in my kitchen. You know you have a standing invitation.

And ur MORE than welcome to come cook in my kitchen also! lol
:D
Ang

You guys are so sweet!!! :) I would even clean up too!

U cook and i'll do dishes! It's a deal!
:D
Ang

I would take that deal. Around here it is I cook, I clean, I do dishes. He cooks, I clean and I do dishes.

That bites Roxy!!

LOL Rox!!! Sounds like my house....:(

My boss went out and bought me frozen yogurt so i am eating that right now. Stand by for the alfredo recipe!

This is really sad to admit guys but I never cook. I went through a phase a couple months ago where I did but in general, I don't. Unless it involves alfredo..........if something needs cooked, my husband usually does it. When we first got together I tried to cook because I wanted to show him what a good wife I would be, LOL, but he always ended up taking over so finally I said screw it and I don't bother anymore. It actually works out to my advantage, though because I don't like to cook much anyway.

LOL Sass!!

Okay here is my quick alfredo sauce..mind you the meausrements are eyeball so you may have to adjust a bit.


3 tbs flour, plus 1 tbs in reserve
1 stick of butter
1 cup cream
1 cup milk
(or you could do all cream or all milk)
1 1/5 shredded parmesan (if you have grated Kraft that is fine too)
salt and pepper to taste


Melt the butter on medium heat, add flour to the butter and stir to create a roux. add milk, cream and cheese. Continued to wisk over medium heat....cheese should start to melt and the sauce should start to thicken. If its too runny, add 1 tbs more flour with 1 tbs milk then add to the sauce. Salt and pepper to taste.

This seems to work well for me...sometimes I will add ore cheese too :D

Thanks Volley ***hugs*** I will try that soon. It sounds a lot like my mom's recipe. And btw, I add more cheese to ANYTHING that calls for cheese, too!! :):):)

You bet Sass....like said, too thick add more cream/milk, too thin add more flour..and YES more cheese will always make it better! :D And then when you serve it, sprinkle more cheese on top!!

Pizza tonite!!!

Hubby is out grilling ribs in the rain. He wanted ribs and said rain was not going to get in his way.
