Post by: Run Amok on July 02, 2013, 11:10:49 PM: I tried this on the recommendation of several friends: http://www.marthastewart.com/978784/one-pan-pasta?czone=food/comfort-foods-center/comfort-foods-dishes (http://www.marthastewart.com/978784/one-pan-pasta?czone=food/comfort-foods-center/comfort-foods-dishes)

It was... ok. About what I thought it would be. Very easy and pretty good. I might make it again.

Post by: diablita on July 03, 2013, 06:50:30 AM: I wondered about that recipe RA

I'm headed down to Trader Joe's in Greenville today. Will see what ideas that brings.

For us? probably nothing exciting. We do not have a grill. Maybe make some seitan ribz?

Post by: CheryG on July 03, 2013, 01:41:36 PM: For breakfast I'll be making Oreo pancakes. (gonna tweak the recipe a bit)

Lunch will probably be leftover chorizo/shrimp/pepper/onions/salsa from tonight.

Dinner I don't know yet, it's a family affair. Which for me means a big salad. probably be asked to make a dessert. I could do a blueberry crisp, top with a cherry and whipped cream, or maybe just some star shaped cupcakes.

i have them in my pinterest. the filling looks iffy for me on if it would pass the family taste test.

Post by: witchypoo on July 03, 2013, 01:47:34 PM: probably bbq'd chicken, ersatz baked beans, green salad and/or slaw
and possibly peach pie

I'll let you know how good it is. I eat something similarish for a snack, so I know I'll like it. I'll put 1/3C unsweetened coconut in a bowl, sprinkle some frozen fruit on top and stir some almond milk in. Sometimes I microwave it, usually I don't.

Post by: moroccangirl on July 03, 2013, 05:28:30 PM: I was going to grip some BBQ chicken and corn on the cob and something else, but I have some fish in the fridge that was supposed to be tonite's dinner that I didn't cook. I have to cook it tomorrow or it will go bad. I'm thinking I'll just BBQ on Friday. That's our weekend anyways.

Post by: triciaflower on July 03, 2013, 09:14:11 PM: We are grilling up a steak. What we're making with it, I have no idea. But I do know there will be watermelon. Gotta pick one up tomorrow. We've been without one for two weeks. What have we become?! No watermelon in the house? That's cray.

Post by: CheryG on July 04, 2013, 06:57:10 AM: I thought the Oreo pancakes were great. The filling is very coconutty and quite sweet. I made a half recipe into three small pancakes.

Post by: triciaflower on July 04, 2013, 08:48:50 PM: steak, beans, salad. guacamole!

Post by: rocketgirl on July 04, 2013, 09:06:32 PM: Breakfast was 2 hard boiled eggs, an English muffin with too much butter, 2 slices of bacon,juice, and coffee with half an half.

Lunch? A bunch of iced animal cookies and wine.

Dinner? One bratwurst and 1/2 lb of mustard potato salad. And Fritos. and wine. Maybe will dig for something sweet too.

Post by: diablita on July 04, 2013, 09:12:26 PM: I grilled pork ribs and turkey burgers, a soy sausage and tons of pattypan squash.
Cole slaw made with wasabi mayo (from TJ's. love it)

We had watermelon and blueberry cheesecake ice cream wedges for dessert. They were these mini pie-shaped wedges on popsicle stick holders and only 100 calories, really good.
