What's For Dinner: Part 2

[Colleen]

Leanne, your parfait looks luscious! You have encouraged me to try it. I have to find chia seeds first, though.

You can find them in your local Trader Joes's or organic section of your supermarket.  They are a great protein booster, I add them to yogurt.

I forgot to post this last night, but this was dinner yesterday and lunch today. Sweet potato and chicken chili over basmati rice topped with a little mozza cheese:

Tonight I made capellini pasta with peppers, sausage, shrimp, celery, and a bunch of seasonings:

This was dinner last night. We decided to go to a Vietnamese restaurant. I ordered the Tonkin soup with chicken breast. Yum!

 

[Leanna]

I made stuffed peppers tonight with ground turkey and pesto instead of tomato sauce:

Your on a roll Leanna!!! It all looks great!!

I have been so busy, and shoveling snow is just one more thing that I don't have time for....

So Last nights dinner...

Flounder stuffed with crab meat ( I make crab cakes and use half of a crab cake to stuff each flounder, twice baked potatoes ( cheddar and chives,I made 8 and froze the rest), quartered brussel sprouts(that I sauteed in garlic oil, sliced almonds, bacon crumbs, and onions)

Not much for color with this meal, but it all tasted good!!

And I dont even like brussel sprouts!! lol

[Leanna]

Thanks Scott! Steve's cooking tonight. I've been cooking pretty much every day this week, so it's his turn, lol.

 

Your dinner looks delicious! I could live off of brussel sprouts, hehe. I love them.

Just a simple, old-fashioned meal tonight but one of my husband's favorites-- corned beef hash and eggs with a side of stewed tomatoes.(Yes, the eggs are fried because we like those better than poached. :) )

Yummy! I wish I could eat eggs. They make my mouth water whenever I see pictures of eggs, haha.

I do the same thing,,, poached is ok... but frying them is easier and just as good.

Your meal looks really good chrys!!

[Leanna]

Stir-fry tonight. :)

I also made Kale chips for the first time ever. They turned out well, but very spicy. I think I accidentally sprinkled a little too much cayenne on them:

 

[babs609]

I love Kale chips!  Zucchini chips are good too....  yummy!

[Leanna]

Those sound good Babs! I am not a big fan of zucchini, but I would try that! If you have any recipes for the chips, can you post them here? Thank you. :) 

[scottinpa]

They are, but apparently, you have to make sure they are very dry before baking. Otherwise, you may end up making the dreaded soggy kale chip, lol. Mine were pretty crispy.

 

Dinner tonight was homemade soup with wontons:

 

[Pippa]

Absolutely craving pasta ... Unfortunately gf pasta is terrible ... So made up a chicken and mushroom sauce and put it in ( bought) crepes ... May not look good but YUMMM ,,,!!!!!!

 

[Leanna]

Looks good to me Pippa!

[Chrysalis]

Crepes! Where can you buy ready-made crepes? I would love to make crepes-something for dinner if I could find the crepes.

I find that the brown rice pasta is a good enough GF pasta...
