 Topic: What are you having for dinner?

We are having Nachos. I am so bored with what we have for dinner but seem to lack inspiration to make something different. I would be interested to know what other people are having.......

I am like that when my DH is away (which is a lot of the time) so when he is home I seem to take awhile to get back into domestic goddess mode LOL! When I was pregnant I could hardly cook as I hated the smell of meat cooking.

Tonight we are having Penne with Suusages and Peppers - mmmmm
I am usually shocking at finding inspiration to cook anything exciting for dinner so the last few weeks I have written up a menu with some recipies to try out. Makes cooking a whole lot easier when I dont have to decide what to cook

DH is going to be home late tonight so I got a chicken subway with tomatoes, lettuce and extra gerkins! How about trying chicken nachoes next time they are quite nice and make a change from mince ones. Just cook up chicken with some onion and I add a El-Paso Mild Salsa sauce mix (from the jar), put chicken on top of corn chips, sprinkle cheese on top and put in oven to grill add a salad and sour cream to the top! Yummy - now I feel like these. I like the idea of writing up a menu for dinner is often in the too hard basket in our house as well. Also have a look at foodinaminute.co.nz - for the Mexicali Lasagne recipe I've made this a couple of times (its a new recipe from them) and it is yummy to.

The menu idea is a great one. I have so many foodie magazines I might go through them and get some ideas then write up a menu and shopping list.

I made gourmet chicken burgers and wedges
Roasted chicken steaks (bag of tegel ones were cheap)
Panini
Mixed lettuce leaves, mayo, red pepper, red onion, avocado, double cream brie and sweet chilli sauce. MMMhmmmm
Often do roast a beef wrapped in a tin foil parcel with a tin of mush soup and a pkt of onion soup mix (makes a gravy while cooking the meat) slowly roasted. Melt in your mouth moist.
Pork meatballs (mmmmhmmm)
Lamb curry/rogan josh
We eat boring and plain as hubby is very limited in his palette.

fattartsrock - I have to laugh at you saying you have plain boring meals because your hubby has a limited palette - if I served the majority of those dinners in our house, DH would be cooking noodles for himself every night  How do you do your pork meatballs though???

Last night we had a delish vege stirfry served on couscous. No meat for us cause nothing was defrosted.
Tonight? I am lost for ideas. Maybe pasta. I am pretty knackered now so something simple is in order.
And tomorrow night we are having DH's birthday BBQ so there will be a total assortment of food from all walks of life! YUM!
