I went to a Princess party last night... crystal & stuff..

strange... blink.gif I felt I had to buy something, but I did get a nice mixing, measuring bowl with a lid.. it was 40.00$ though sad.gif


Is that like a tupperware party? I avoid going to those, I always feel pressure to buy something too.

Okay it was really good Indian food, my husband found a winner.


We picked up some beer on the way home by this brewer called Tr?egs and its really good. Kind of citrusy. It's nice. If you happen upon it, pick up the sunshine pilsner. biggrin.gif


Yum we should go there sometime, I love Indian food!


Yes! I thought about you when I went there! They make the best samosa!

There was a lot of other yummy vegetarian options too.



Tonight Mike is doing dinner and he is making bean burritos and stuffed poblano peppers. I am really excited.


Awesome! I love samosa! I look forward to finding a good Indian restaurant here, have yet to go to one.

Bean burritos YUMMEH hmmm I'm craving Mexican now. Maybe I'll have that too.

Glen said he had a craving for fried chicken wacko.gif as he hasn't eaten that in a year or something.... so I went to the store and picked up some fried chicken pieces and will make oven fries with something yummy for me like a boca burger!

I'm making this tonight, subbing the ground beef for soy crumbles, looks yummy!

Impossibly Easy Taco Pie

1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 package (1 ounce) Old El Paso® taco seasoning mix
1 can (4.5 ounces) Old El Paso® chopped green chiles, drained
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix
3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese (3 ounces)
Old El Paso® salsa (any variety)
Sour cream, if desired



1. Heat oven to 400ºF. Grease 9-inch pie plate. Cook ground beef and onion in 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in seasoning mix (dry). Spoon into pie plate; top with chilies.
2. Stir milk, eggs and Bisquick mix until blended. Pour into pie plate.
3. Bake about 25 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 8 to 10 minutes longer. Cool 5 minutes. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

He had NO idea it was a soy burger but when I told him he didn't seem to mind at all. biggrin.gif

Ethan prefers soy burgers over meaty burgers so he never cares. They didn't even know that I burnt them, they gobbled them allllll up. tongue.gif


laughing.gif That's awesome! Not only do they taste good, but they're much healthier than beef burgers so it works all around!

Tonight it's grilled soy burgers with corn on the cob... but I am not going to tell my husband that they're soy. They taste just like beef, the only real difference is the texture and even that is not extremely obvious.



Mmmm are they Boca burgers? I feed those to Glen and he has no clue to this day they're soy laughing.gif I also make bolognese sauce with soy crumbles and he thinks he's eating ground beef too!

Yeah... pigged out on a McDonald's 2-cheeseburger meal... LARGE size with a Diet Coke, of course. Needed comfort food. I've lost 22 lbs... one McD's meal won't kill me. And, if it does, then I deserved it for some reason. blink.gif



MMM the two cheeseburger meal is my ultimate fav. They only have it at the Wal-mart McD's here... and I actually haven't been to a Wal-Mart McD's in awhile so I don't even know if they still have it.

McDonald's is like an addiction for me. If I eat it once, then I eat it again and again and again... it's my ultimate weakness!!

Congrats on the 22 pounds!!! That's amazing.

My random note of the day... I have no many going away dinner and lunches planned and I feel like I'm going to gain 20 pounds in the next 3 weeks!! Haha.


Deja Vu Sapphire!! The few weeks before I moved, I had too many lunch/dinner get-togethers with work people, friends, family I did gain a few LBS!! I rarely ate at home.

I'm going to make baked ziti tonight, I've been craving that

We went for Italian last night, and my fiance' asked me if I knew how to make baked ziti. I don't have a clue! I'd love your recipe... if you're willing to share, Jill!

As for us, dinner tonight will probably be train food! Ugh.


Of course! I got this from recipezaar, and it was REALLY good! To note, I didn't want many leftovers so I cut the recipe in half since it was just 2 of us:

SERVES 8
Ingredients

* 1/2 lb ziti pasta
* 16 ounces ricotta cheese
* 3 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
* 3 cups spaghetti sauce (I used vodka sauce, yum)
* 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

1.
Preheat oven to 350.
2.
Boil ziti, following package directions, drain and place in a large bowl.
3.
Mix all the ricotta cheese and half of the mozzarella with the ziti.
4.
Spray a 13x9 pan with Pam.
5.
Cover the bottom half of the pan with about half the sauce.
6.
Put the ziti mixture on top of sauce.
7.
Pour remaining sauce on top of ziti.
8.
Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
9.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
10.
Bake for 20-30 minutes until cheese is melted and it is lightly golden.

Well, I ended up making mandarin orange chicken (from Trader Joe's) yesterday and cooked up some wild/brown rice and threw in a hoard of veggies. Some leftovers, but not enough for another meal. It'll be warm tonight, so maybe Gene can throw on some turkey burgers and I'll make a salad?


Carla I LOVE Trader Joe's! It's my fave store of all time here, I go once per week at least. Last week I got this BBQ pork that was already marinated/cooked and stir fried it with some rice for Glen he said it was deeeelish!
