Just curious what we all made for dinner tonight as opposed to our "ideal" dinner (either the one we enjoy making or eating the most)?
What's your favorite celebration dinner, too!
Oh, and your favorite "easy" dinner.
Dinner tonight: Spinach salad w/smoked bacon bits (the real kind), tomatoes, red onion and warm vinaigrette, and bread w/olive bruschetta and provolone melted on top, baked potatoes and chicken strips (woulda had regular baked chicken, but it didn't thaw out quickly enough).
Ideal dinner is something similar w/a good vegetable, love to make cauliflower with cheese sauce (homemade not from a can), maybe chicken fried steak w/gravy and biscuits. The guys LOVE this.
Celebration dinner has to be prime rib w/Yorkshire pudding, potatoes in some form (not picky, but my guys love mashed), brown au jus gravy and asparagus with Hollandaise. Ewww....fattening! *LOL*
Easy dinner is often either the Ling Ling potstickers (they are very good for you and has three food groups (meat, veg, grain) in 'em!), maybe some rice and for dessert some fresh fruit. Light, but filling. The little ones can eat the potstickers (they both have troubles with many meats and I don't do hot dogs often). OR Thai peanut butter tofu/chicken (either/and/or) w/rice.
