What's for dinner?

I planned my week's meals yestersday and am posting the recipes every day on my blog. Feel free to snag them. :)
 
Tonight it's buttersquash risotto.

Incidentally...note to self: check the cheese label for the price before buying, lol! This recipe calls for parmigianoeggiano (yum!), snapped some up without realizing it cost $13.89! LOL!
 
That's some expensive cheese, Sara. LOL

I have no idea what we are having. I think I might have soup if I can get dh to go to the store today and get me crackers.
 
Well DH is out of town for tonite so it is have WHATEVER you want nite here.....sorry I am no help tomorrow I will have some ideas though!!!
 
I have no idea. I might make some taquitos for the kids since they seem to like them and there are actual veggies in them. DH & I might have soup, if we even have any in the house. :D

LOL, you get right on that! If I can convince my butt to get off the couch, I'll not only get to have what I want for dinner but I will have had my exercise for the day, too...so it's a win/win.

Though, if the airmail guy arrives, I'll have to answer the door. That counts as exercise right?

Oh, and can you cook it before sending it?
 
It's soccer practice night, so I'm doing homemade mac'n'cheese, hot dogs and a veggie (or maybe baked beans).

But of course! Why would I send it uncooked? :blink:
 
Jeez, I have no idea, maybe hamburger helper or sandwichs. I am going grocery shopping and meal planning tomorrow.
 
Whatever DH brings home :)

I'm meeting with an elder care lawyer for my grandmother tonight, Connor has Tai Kwon Do, and I won't be home to prep dinner ahead of time. So they can fend for themselves!
 
Don't look at me Meems, I don't know from one day to the next because we aren't meal planners; more like, dinner surprise with whatever's in the house,lol.
 
It's kind of late (at least here on the east coast) but we are having white bean chili (and OMG it is smelling so good!!!!)

White Bean Chili
Yield
Makes 4 quarts

Ingredients

* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 2 garlic cloves, minced
* 8 skinned and boned chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
* 3 cups water
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 2 teaspoons ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon chili powder
* 1 teaspoon pepper
* 1 teaspoon dried oregano
* 4 (15-ounce) cans cannellini or great Northern beans, rinsed, drained, and divided
* 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can chicken broth
* 1 (16-ounce) package frozen shoepeg white corn
* 2 (4.5-ounce) cans chopped green chiles
* 3 tablespoons lime juice
* Garnish: fresh cilantro sprigs

Preparation

Sauté chopped onion in hot oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat 7 minutes; add garlic, and sauté 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir in chicken pieces, and cook, stirring constantly, until chicken is lightly browned. Stir in 3 cups water and next 5 ingredients; reduce heat, and simmer, stirring often, 10 minutes or until chicken is done.

Place 2 cans of beans in a blender; add broth, and process until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides.

Stir bean pureé, remaining 2 cans of beans, corn, and chiles into chicken mixture in Dutch oven; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring often, 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Stir in lime juice just before serving. Garnish, if desired.

Note: Use a handheld submersion blender to pureé the beans and broth, if desired.
 
i just threw some frozen chicken into a dish with some garlic, chicken broth and baby carrots. Baking now. hope it turns out edible. :unsure:
 
We're having chicken and yummy yummy chicken and herb classico rice all soaked in chicken broth instead of water- easy peasy. 20 minutes to show time!
 
Dunno what's for supper here...something with hamburger since that's what is in the fridge, lol. I was sorta planning stew, but I guess that will be tomorrow because it will take a long time to cook/simmer and I don't have any of the ingredients here (DH would have to get them from the store before coming home). I plan ahead REAL well, lol. ;)
