What's For Dinner: Part 2

[Leanna]

Hey everyone:

 

I really miss this thread and it's been buried, so I thought I'd start a new one. I know I'm not a fancy cook or anything like our Scott is, but I have a recent appreciation and love for cooking. My friends get cranky when I post food pictures on Facebook, so I thought I'd post them here instead!

 

Here is my meal from tonight. Not the greatest picture, but I made crockpot chicken using a bunch of seasonings and fresh garlic, rice, steamed broccoli, and Steve made me some mushroom gravy. I'm using the leftover chicken to make homemade chicken and rice soup.

This is my dinner from last night. I made the sauce (no canned sauce here):

I've never had taco soup?  But anything with the word "taco" sounds yummy to me :)

[SanDar]

And Leanna - your "last night's dinner" from Sept 10th looks awesome, still, lol :)

I was going to grill some ribs today but time got away from me and it never happened. So I decided to have leftover Cuban black bean soup and blue corn nachos instead. Such a let-down (NOT!  :) )

[Leanna]

Thank you Sandy! :)

 

Chrys and Nancy, both sound delicious! I made crockpot chili and Steve made garlic bread.

This sounds really, really good! I just may need to give this a try :)

We had spaghetti & meatballs. Homemade? Ummm...nope.

But quick & easy for Sunday evening. I'm still recuperating from motocross trip yesterday :)

We had this tonight.  Recipe posted in the chicken thread.  One pot wonder :)

I bought a rotisserie chicken at Publix and had some. Doing low carb so nothing else with it

Aww, thanks Scott! He seemed to really like this meal and he loved the chili last night. I'm pretty sure he ate a bowl for breakfast, haha.

[Leanna]

I made taco salad. Multigrain chips, tomatillo salsa, tomatoes, orange bell pepper, avocado mixed with a little salsa, pepper, salt, lemon juice, iceberg lettuce, a bit of taco beef that Steve made, and cottage cheese.

As always, that looks excellent Leanna!!

 

Tonight I am having London Broil ( home made marinade ) on the grill,... baked potatoes ( with greek  yogurt and bacon bits ).... steamed Broccoli ( lightly seasoned ) and either cucumber or 5 bean salad.
