What's for Dinner?

[Macabre]

Yikes. 

[becca]

Last night, split pea soup with ham, added some pureed Kale and it was not noticeable, except for a wonderful deep color in the soup, lol.  Lots of leftovers...

Served with fresh baked Pillsbury french loaf(lol) for the kids dinner with turkey leftover for them.  They will not eat pea soup.  green beans for them, and spring mix greens for Mom and Dad. 

I need to get out the bread machine in time to make healthier fresh bread now and again for the kids.  Sadly, when i spend all day making a big stew or soup for dh and I(of course I offer it to the kids, but...), I end up giving them quick foods or leftover items that night.  But I crave some yummy food they hate now and again.

Tonight: Homemade sloppy joe, steamed veggies, fresh fruit, and cottage cheese.

Becca, I love split pea soup so much, but for the past several years it has given me awful reflux.  I was drooling reading your post!

[becca]

No reflux here, but let's just say it is best I eat it when I will be alone or in the privacy of my own home.

Whatever we-deem-safe-for-our-family's-food-allergies "football food" (meaning high-salt, pre-made crap and some homemade appetizers) . . .

and homemade apple crisp with homemade icecream.

GAK on the "crap"  (taquitos, etc.)  but I'll overdose on the desserts, TYVM.

(Um, and Shiner for the adults.  NICE new spring brew, BTW . . . )

I made Chili...this recipe.  Even the kids love it.

[Janelle205]

Turkey pasta salad, deviled eggs, fresh fruit.

Baked potato for me.

Thinking about a caramel peanut butter banana quesadilla for dessert.  We'll see.

[ajasfolks2]

OK, I did much lower fat stuff for those who will eat (yeah, me only) . . . steamed asian dumplings with brussel sprouts and

ginger-wasabi concoction.

YUMMY!!

[Macabre]

Cowboy stew.

[GoingNuts]

Mushroom ravioli Pomodoro, salad.

[becca]

Chicken Parmesan.  Smart taste pasta, green beans.  Kids had plain chicken cutlets. 

I was craving something to stick to my ribs after eating light for a good stretch. 

[GoingNuts]

Me too, hence the spinach lasagna, but with whole grain pasta.  I can't believe how little I ate compared to how much I wanted to eat!

[becca]

I did not overeat, or I did not think so, but had indigestion/felt too full.  Guess I have been eating less.  Trying to do more frequent, smaller meals.   We ate very early due to basketball practice, and I was full all night! 

[Macabre]

Gumbo. Wow, that was awesome. And I made it!
