Dinner at the diner tonight.

Note to self: next time we have tacos, make sure to take a Pepcid...

No idea.

Lent sort of crept up on me! Maybe salad, or sushi.

Slow cooker beef brisket tonight with all the trimmings. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year (Year of the Rat), so I'm doing, you guessed it, Chinese tomorrow.

Tonight: venison roast with sherry gravy, broccoli and herb-roasted redskin potatoes.

Tomorrow is Jayson's birthday, so we'll have steak (his favorite) with onion rings and salad. I just finished baking his cake, but I don't get to have any.

We had tuna wraps from the recipe I posted in "meatless".

Tonight we're going out. I don't know where.

Tomorrow no meat for me, beyond that I don't know!

On another forum I frequent there have been awesome suggestions. Lots of them are culled from vegetarian or vegan sites and look great.

If your kids like vegetables you've got a lot of easy options, too. One thing I like to do is blanch and crisp broccoli, carrots, etc., and serve them over greens, with a dressing. Then you can have hummous and crackers on the side.

Or top it with tuna salad, or salmon.

Oven roasted root vegetables are great. Also beans, black bean soup, casseroles with rice and veg....it took me a while to think about all this stuff, I grew up in a primarily meat-and-potatoes household, but once I was on my own I changed around. Meat's too expensive for a student budget! That started me off.

We do a lot of veggies with Brown Rice. I buy brown Basmati rice in bulk!

I just steam them slightly, then toss them in and sautee with some sesame oil and ginger/garlic/teryaki whatever the mood is. They go over surprisingly well!

Of course, totally spaced on it being Friday and packed the Parochial school kid a turkey sandwich!! Eh. well...we're getting there!

Fish tonight. Fish pie and a few shrimp to be exact.

I think we're noshing.

Probably crackers, veggies or a salad (for me), hummous, a bit of tuna salad, olives, pickles, maybe cheese....

Hey, I heard you can make polenta in a crock pot! Who knew? I need to try it.

In fact, I have a big crock pot that has a split liner...I could do polenta in one half, and a marinara sauce or vegetable ragu in the other!

Nope...take-out sushi!

How about a sack of sliders and a coke?

On second thought, maybe lunch?????

There's always mac & cheese- the homemade kind, not the blue box!

I have a good recipe for fish/shrimp and corn casserole somewhere. I'll have to find it; even my husband and son loved it. And my husband is the pickier eater of the two!

Crab stuffed tilapia aka rubber blechy fish. I hate tilapia. Why do I do this to myself?

We're having ravioli tonight!
