YUM! That sounds fantastic!
I'm thinking it'll need to be quick and easy and something I wont have to fight to get the kids to eat, so probably macaroni cheese tonight. Roll on hometime... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Chicken nuggets (or chicken hiding as it's called in our house) made with mayo and crumbed rice bubbles & Parmesan.
probably some salad and oven chips to match. |

We are having homemade pizza tonight, it's a bit time consuming making the dough etc but it's one of the favourites for DH and DS so I figured I'd do it anyway despite feeling like doing a more lazy Monday dinner.
That orzo salad sounds amazing, I LOVE the foodtown magazine and get so many good, well used recipes from there  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yes, I believe the longer version of the name is 'Chicken hiding in breakfast'
-Whizz rice bubbles and a very small wedge of Parmesan together (no idea of measurements, I fill my magic bullet container with rice bubbles for 2 chopped chicken breasts  )
- Coat the chicken pieces in cornflour. - Then coat with mayo - Put the coating mixture in a plastic bag add the chicken to mix. - Put in the oven at 230degrees for ~10 minutes. the objective is to cook hot and fast before they dry out. |

We're boring - Spanish pork chops with a garden salad, for DS, vege mash - which he probably won't eat because he hasn't eaten anything except a piece of birthday cake in the last two days. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

We had homemade pizza last night which was really yum- used really thinly sliced lamb steaks which made them go really far and tasted great :) MrsEmma, I cheat and freeze a whole pile of par baked pizza bases so I dont have to make them at the time. :)
Tonight I suspect will be toasted sammies as I'm not sure I can be bothered doing anything else! Though I do love a good toastie! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

tonights meal was boring, but the other night i made http://www.pork.co.nz/Recipes/RecipeBook/RecipePage/tabid/69/cutID/0/methodID/0/recipeID/255/recipeTypeID/0/Default.aspx - Popcorn Pork which was quite cool! bit different anyways.
was like homemade KFC but made of pork obviously i'm not much of a cook so was quite pleased with my efforts.
ETA i used bread crumbs instead of crackers - mostly cos i couldnt be bothered crumbing up any crackers ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Since it's just me tonight it's a bowl of homemade kumara chips and aioli. Very boring but super easy!
Would you mums who make your own pizza bases mind sharing your recipes in the food / recipe section? I prefer to make my own but haven't found a recipe that I really like - mine end up too bready. |

I would blessedmama but I'm a cheat and I use my bread maker to make it So my 'time consuming' aspect is getting it out of the cupboard, chucking the ingredients in and then waiting for it to finish and rolling it out! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I tried something new tonight - individual meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato and cheese "icing"! They worked well, except they didn't hold together terribly well. ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

I have a go to pesto pasta.
Just cook chicken and some onion, some angel hair pasta and chuck it all together with some pesto. Very quick, very easy. Usually top it with feta. DS LOVES feta -------------

I love pasta with pesto - I need to remember to always have pesto on hand!
Mrs Emma I was doing my bases in the breadmaker but I seem to end up with a very bready base. Do you manage to get a thinner one or do you not mind the thickness too much? |

Mmmm, pesto! I love pesto but DH hates it so we almost never have. Same with mushrooms. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Mine doesn't come out very bready, I just use the recipe that came with the bread maker and it's worked great every time. It's quite a thin base and doesn't puff up a lot which is why we like it so much, I can't stand chewy, doughy pizza. I'm sure the recipe would work in another bread maker wouldn't it? I can PM you the recipe if you'd like? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

With pizzas I usually do chicken, onion, cream cheese and capsicum with sweet chilli on top, or ham or salami, onion, capsicum etc tuna pizzas can also be nice, can add avocado to most flavours etc
I just buy pizza bases (3 pack is good value) or I use pita breads to make smaller ones Tonight dinner was quesadillas- 2 tortillas with grated cheese in between, done in frying pan till melted, then cut into quarters and serve with sour cream and salsa. Easy. Last night was bologneise, night before stirfry, home made pizza, meatballs and pasta with veges, etc.. sometimes make tacos and nachos or chicken salad ------------- Me 28, DH 29 DS born 20 Nov 2010 (4 years old) #2 due October 7 http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

For pizza our usuals are:
chicken, feta, spinach, pine nuts & sweet chilli sauce or ham, pineapple, cheese, capsicum, onion, tomato or or bacon, ham, pepperoni, cheese kind of thing A lot of the time it's leftover bits and pieces that go on it. Tonight was steak, eggs & mashed potato- another of DH & DS's favourites. It was DD's first time having steak and she sucked her pieces dry ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yes please to the recipe Mrs Emma! I like the sound of yours and even better that I can do it in the breadmaker.
Tonight is moroccan chicken (overcooked because DH was doing some diy and I forgot about it!) and green salad. And keep going with the pizza topping ideas. I am so boring with mine - partly because the kids prefer the boring version and partly out of lack of inspiration. |
