What's for dinner? # 2

Oh wow Cai, they sound great. Another really good 'campfire' or BBQ dessert is baked chocolate bananas (can be done in the oven too, but it's not the same, more because it's an 'outdoor' dessert ikywim). Really easy. Cut a slit in a banana, stuff in a few pieces of good dark chocolate (you might have to spread out the cut a bit), bake until chocolate is gooey and banana softened, then eat with a spoon and a blob of double cream.

Once we move and I have a decent oven again, I'm making a lemon tart. Oh how I miss them.

We do that with apples on the campfire. Scoop out the core and fill with chocolate, wrap in foil and bake. The apple ends up going all caramel like. YUM!!! But I'll be honest with you banana sounds better to me ;)

pretty boring dinner here tonight

spag bol with garlic bread (i had some salad on the side also)

Boring night here too. Ham and potato bake. I just can't do the whole kitchen thing today and just wanted to eat so I could lie down.

Chicken Treat for us - everyting collapsed in on me today, and I just can't make myself do anything. But thats for another thread :) :wall:

We had chicken schnitzels with potato, peas, corn, broccoli, cauliflower....and some choc chip ice cream for dessert. Very lazy day.

Last night was take away night and we went to the local carvery and had a roast dinner. I had a Roast Meat spud....It was so yummmmmmmmy!!!

Tonight is SC Silverside, with mash, beans, carrots, cheese sauce and maybe some self sauce pudding for dessert!!

Tonight we are having oven-baked, seasoned rissoles with caramelised onions and brown-onion gravy on a bed of cheesy mashed potato and carrots.

Beef casserole here tonight for Charlotte and I :) with mashed 'ta-tooes' lol

Tonight we're having Chicken Cordon Bleu with vegetables. The kids love it!

stirfry - something simple as it is on friday nights

5 spice chicken drumsticks and fried rice... simple but yummy!

YUMMM Cai!! Fried rice. Cause it was my b'day on wednesday we are doing the whole family thing up at my mum's on Sunday night and she is making bami goreng and nasi goreng and a indonesian soup called suto(sp?).....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I can't wait for it now!! Lol.

deep fried cuttlefish,
red cabbage,bean, olive oil and cashew salad steamed rice.
yum

Seriously Lauren - you always manage to make me drool. Cai, you're also making me drool - I've had a hankering for fried rice for ages but just don't seem to manage to get it made.

Tonight: lasagne and steamed green vegies (baby beans, snow peas, zucchini, broccoli) if I get around to making it, although seeing that it's 4:30 already and I still haven't started and I have a heap of washing to put on the line, it's not looking too good, so it will probably be tomorrow night's dinner and we'll have takeaway of some description tonight.

haha thanks :P

I went to an Italian Deli yesterday & picked up some pizza flour (don't know what makes it different but its in Italian and its designed for it). I made the bases and adults had roast pumpkin, pine nuts, goats cheese and black olive pizza with rosemary and oregano and kidlets had ham & salami.

For the base sauce, I put 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1/2 sweet potato mashed and 5 sun dried tomatoes with a splash of olive oil and bar mixed it all up to spread on.... this was to get some extra veges in the kids, but it was yummo anyway.
