What are you having for dinner? AGAIN!

Not for dinner, but I made a batch of banana muffins after lunch, using brown sugar, vanilla extract, mascarpone cheese, malibu rum, and then a few pistachios on top of each one. OMG they were soooo good! Having steak sandwiches for dinner with using leftover filet mignon.
Jas, that sounds really good. I'm a huge fan of using booze in food and that sounds like a great combo.
Tonight I'm doing chorizo tacos. I got a giant veggie box from a local farm market so I'm super excited about that. It came with a bonus pack of honey sticks from the local honey farm, too. I've already used 2 in my tea

I love chorizo. Chorizo and potatoes with a fried egg on top.
Cut up a small chicken and roasted it on a sheet pan with potatoes and carrots.
Well, it seems that my enchiladas might be a bit more exciting than anticipated. I opened a can of what I thought was enchilada sauce and realized that wahat I was pouring over the top was actually diced tomatoes with green chilies. .

Me too, CoffeeQueen! So good with egg. I usually like the dry one, but I got a tube of the other kind at WalMart last week and it makes great tacos. My favorite Mexican place in the area makes Campechanos..in a taco, burrito, quesadilla, etc.. and I'm going to try to make that this weekend.

I love queso fundido...white queso with chorizo for dipping tortilla chips in. Mmmmm. I could sit and drink frozen margaritas with that and have guacamole and some fresh salsa with queso fundido and that would be dinner.
How about huevo rancheros with chorizo?
I changed my steak sandwich outlook and decided on baked homemade mac and cheese with chunked chicken breast on the bottom layer and bacon on the top with a side salad. Guess we will do the leftover steak with eggs for breakfast.

My chicken dish was very good. Still not exactly sure what it was. It was thick and creamy, either sour cream or cream cheese. I tend to believe it was cream cheese. Chopped onion, celery, and water chestnuts gave it a crunchy texture. I heated it and ate it over rice with green peas. Delicious.
I cooked spaghetti sauce and meatballs in the slow cooker overnight. Will be having that for supper.

Boneless skinless chicken thighs in the slow cooker with some fancy BBQ sauce. Cheese and peas salad for me and rice or baked potato for Ann.
Leftovers. We have bean soup, chili, barbecued chicken, potato salad, and a couple of other things in there that need to get gone before I cook anything new. Hubby doesn't much like leftovers but he will probably eat the soup or chili with no complaints.
LOVE Queso Fundido. When I had a wood stove, I'd put a giant skillet of it on there and much throughout the day lol.
I forgot I had some cornish game hens defrosting, so I'm going to try making them with some Piri Piri starter that I got as a freebie somewhere. It's a gorgeous day today, don't want to spend too much of it inside cooking.

It literally means Pepper Pepper. It's a delicious Portuguese sauce with lots of good chilis, paprika, garlic and some citrus. This starter has a few other ingredients, but it's all natural and GMO free so I'm going to give it a try. I just have to add a little water and olive oil.

I have never eaten any Portuguese food to my knowledge. Sounds interesting!
Slow cooker recipe with sliced sausage, thinly sliced potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and cheese of choice.
I made tortilla soup...I like to put a handful of (crunched) Fritos in the bowl before the hot soup and of course, fresh avocado on top. Perfect with chicken Taquitos and sour cream!
Chicken parmesan was planned but when the kids came over it turned Oriental. A dish of cubed chicken and ham with gently softened bell pepper, fresh cauliflower, celery, and green onion with frozen peas and canned mushrooms all stir fried in oil in which fresh ginger and garlic were browned. Mushroom can juice and a little white wine with corn starch to make a sauce and cooked udon noodles stirred in at the last minute. Still 'missing' a little something so a couple tablespoons of peanut powder stirred in. Yuuuummmmy!
Scooby Doo. Those danged kids! The Asian food described sounds okay but I liked your original plan much, much better.
Here is one of our summer "favs"...No cook pasta. Baby tomatoes sliced in half - 1lb, (I like the heirlooms, because they are so pretty) fresh garlic chopped, 5 or 6 slugs olive oil, handful of fresh basil cut, 1 tbl spoon balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper. Crush all in a bowl and let sit, while you boil 1 pkg spaghetti. Serve with fresh Parmesan on spaghetti and on top. Perfect! Even better if you add shrimp to it. Shrimp seems to be still pretty easy to get - I always keep a few bags in the freezer, because we like shrimp everything! Spaghetti is hot, but the sauce is room temp. I always add a little oil & Herbs de Provence to the pasta....
We are doing flatbread pizzas using Naan bread for the crusts. I will have diced skinless boneless chicken breast, basil, oregano, garlic, parmesan and goat cheese on mine with a drizzle of EVOO. Hubby likes mozzarella, red sauce, pepperoni, mushrooms, and olives on his. I will make small side salads with red leaf lettuce and other veggies.
Trying this recipe for Chicken Barley Soup. [www.tasteofhome.com]
Is Barley a Northern thing primarily? I think I ate it once (beef and barley soup) when I first moved to Ohio from Florida. I can't really remember what it tastes like. The recipe looks awesome, but I don't have any barley on hand. I do have egg noodles that would make a good sub, though.
I don't know actually. I used to buy Campbells vegetable beef soup, and it was primarily for the barley. At some point I came to realize that I could just buy barley and put it in stuff. It doesn't have much flavor but the texture is really great. A little chewy, dense. Perfect for soups. But you can't go wrong with chicken noodle soup either.
I think while I'm cooking today I'll also make a barley risotto. I love having some in the freezer for quick lunches.

You are firing off ideas in my head! I need to find out if I like barley before I invest in it. I will order a can of soup with barley in it on my next grocery order.
Never thought about adding barley to recipes, what a good idea. Another crock pt venture involving ham, onion, hash browns, herbs, spices, and cheese. I'm switching to more crock pot recipes than oven already because of south Texas weather. Highs in the 90s already and it's still April.
My Dad did a lot of the weekend cooking when I was a kid. He was from Indiana and barley was a regular part of his repertoire. Barley is a lovely grain for the texture. Sort of like a rice grain with a slightly tougher seam.
