Last night was a PizzaHut Personal pan pizza in Target. Kids thought it was cool.
Tonight was Fuddrucker's. Yummy burgers.
When I said Fuddrucker's, my 4 yr old ds said, "Mom, watch your mouth." Then he asked if I had really said a bad word. I told him no. He thought it was funny and he knows we don't cuss.
Knox glad your finally back to the table

Last night was mac & cheese, well techinally it was Velveta & cheese, thats much yummier in my opinion & sweet potatoes. Mom & I watched RV. Thats a funny movie if you want to see it.
I am not sure about tonight. I think I may make chili.
MX PARK I am so glad you are 100% better. No cooties here for me. ::knock on wood::
juju. that comment from your son cracked me up.
edited to fix the link.
MMMMM!!! Those cookies sound HEAVENLY! Thanks for posting that, Monica! 
Yep, it sure has been a weekend! (thankfully) I got the house straightened up and the laundry done...dishes...blah.blah.blah. THEN I TOOK A 3 HOUR NAP!
When I got up, the house was actually CLEAN, QUIET and EMPTY. That's because the Old Man took the youngest out with him to his buddy's house for a while. La--la---la...I'm the queen of the world...for about 2 hours, anyway!
Tonight's dinner:
Cheapie steaks
Chieapie on-sale shrimp
Baked potatoes
Fresca, Cokes, water or whatever they want
Left over chocolate kahlua cake
Son called last night at midnight. Nothing's changed. At least he's alive.
--Knox--
knox,i hope thanksgiving turns out better for you then the last week has
Ok I got me my Dumb A$$ deer. I thawed the steaks and am going to marinade them tonight for tomorrow if I can remeber what I use to marinade them in It has been about 3 yrs since I have made my AWESOME deer. I know I used garlic and I think soysauce or was it worchestershire 
I can't remeber Oh well I told him about the naming of the deer and he said YEP DUMB A$$ was his name.
mxpark My Dh says where is his sushi He wanted you to send him some ASAP
Knox we always have cheapie steaks. I hope your Thankgiving is better
Ohara good luck on your Thanksgiving dinner
We had a late lunch/ supper which was actually breakfast. I know I am to confusing. We had Pancakes, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, bacon. Haven't did breakfast in awhile. So DD wanted pancakes and the rest lunch.
So looking forward to tomorrows DA deer (mouth waters as I wipe it)
I am thinking more fried tators or maybe mashed with gravy. DS put in request for deer stew and a few other deer dishes. Sorry my excitement for deer is killing me
dad cooked tonight....
fried orange roughy
steamed rice
salad
ok....i made cakeballs for the first time tonight....i did a chocolate kahlua cake w/ peppermint cream cheese buttercream as the binder, added some milk chocolate chips, dipped them in white chocolate and topped them with crushed mint andes. omg.....they were HEAVENLY!!! unfrotunately i dropped a tray of them which was like half of them. 
my dh was upset that i threw them away. he said that no one would've noticed that they were dropped on the floor. 
also...i think the stomach thing is coming back to me. i started feeling a little naseau earlier aaaand my stepdaughter is sick......and who has to take care of her?!?! ME!!! 
her mom complains that she has to work so she can't take care of her. but my dh has to work too and the stupid witch has told me that i was taking over her duties and that if i wanted a kid i should have my own. 
well now i have my own and i don't want him getting the damn stomach virus!!!! 
she wanted full custody of her daughter and she should take full responsibility for her!!! my dh has no custody of his daughter at all....not physical or legal because she took it all away from us. ugh.....sorry. had to vent. every mention of that damn lady makes my blood boil.
juju - that's funny. i think the only reason why it was date night was because i had gotten upset with dh for two days in a row.
kay - my date night usually consists of renting movies too. tell your dh that he gets no sushi from me. i ate A LOT and it was so yummy!!! i don't even share with my dh. i make him get his own stuff.
ohara - i love the day after thanksgiving shopping too!!! i can't wait!
monica - thanks for the recipe!!! i just got my dh to clean out the oven today so i'll have to try this recipe soon. yay for no cooties!!
knox - i wish i could take a three hour nap.
Tonight I was making a pork stew recipe when my dd showed up with El Polo Loco. (Grandkids were over while she went to dr.) Oh, well, there is always tomorrow.
Ohara - Get well so you can enjoy your sister's visit. It sounds so fun. My sister lives in NJ and we don't see each other nearly enough - I miss her.
Italian breaded chicken, red skinned roasted potatoes with sour cream and melted cheddar cheese, cinnimon bakes apples, spiced baked apples with raisin, homemade mac and cheese, baked beans, green beans, cheese tray with crackers, homemade brocholli and cheese soup, homemade knot rolls, bailey's cheesecake and 2 coconut-choc.-walnut pies. Let me first say today was my mom's birthday so everyone came over for dinner and this is what I and other made to celebrate the day. I do NOT cook like this everyday nor does anyone else in my family, but today was a special day for my mom so we all worked over hot stoves for her. She was very happy too!
No dinner for me tonight
I baked. When I cook/bake I have no appitite. sp?
Yesterday was beans cornbread and fried potatoes.
Tonight was Taco Bell.
mom's turn to cook tonight....
chicken cattatori (sp?)
steamed rice
diet coke
i was also feeling down so i treated myself to a punpkinpie shake from jack in the box and now i feel worse. posted a seperate topic about this...just curious as to the other side's story in a situation like this.
also i have another migraine.
Well, my "vacation" started today, and I could give a big sh!+. Just the mood I'm in I reckon.
I think I get depressed when I see my friends buying new homes and new furnishings. Even though everything we own is paid for after 20 years, I still want a new house. No way, though; the Old Man's made up his mind, "NO MORE MORTGAGES." 
Tonight was:
Roasted chicken breast
Green beans w/pork pieces
Mac & cheese
--Knox--
mkolmar: italian breaded chicken... sounds delicious. how do you make it? i'm getting really tired of plain ol' baked naked chicken 'round here.
problem is, i'm a baker, not a cook. i go through a rotation of about 6 or 7 really boring simple things: spaghetti, baked chicken, round steak & gravy, red beans & rice, blah blah blah. but i can't get too exotic, i've got two picky girls, 2 & 4. so any time they go ick, i've always got chicken nuggets & mac-n-cheese for them ready to go.
last night's dinner was beef tips in gravy courtesy of hormel ready-to-microwave entrees, rice, and french cut green beans. dessert was some of the extra chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting and jimmies.
tonight's dinner is probably going to be spaghetti again with meatballs out of a frozen bag. i used to make my own really tasty meatballs with spices, parmesan, & onions but one time i ran out & got a bag of frozen ones. now that's all the kids want.
somebody tell me please that kids eventually develop real tastebuds? in the past 4 yrs i've eaten more mac-n-cheese than i think i had in my whole prior life!
Italian breaded chicken : about 1/3 of the mixture will be plain bread crumbs and 2/3 will be the italian bread crumbs stir together and place in a dish with sides or a plate. You'll also need plain flour in a container and some craked eggs with just about 1 tablespoon of milk for every 2 eggs. You'll also need to pound out the chicken breast in between 2 pieces of plastic wrap with a mallot so it's a more even and uniform thickness----use the side of the mallot, not the end with the tenderizer points, it will tear up the chicken breast. Just give them a good wack and take out those frustrations! After you do this get a pan screaming hot on the stove with oil in it!
You are going to lightly dredge the chicken into the flour and shake gently off the exess flour. Then place in the egg mixture till coated and then lift up the chicken and let the exess egg drain off. Then coat lightly by dredging in the bread crumb mixture and place into the screaming hot pan to get the chicken good and brown on both sides!
Then place the chicken in a 350 degree oven and bake till done.
If you have any questions just pm me, once you do it you'll see how easy it really is! I even do this with my pork chops, my picky kids will even eat it!
Gothgate I'm glad my kids aren't that picky. They are 4 and 2. We started right after first baby food giving them the food we eat spices and all. My sister in law didn't do this with her first and now she regrets it. Her youngest two will eat most things but her oldest complains. My two do have things they don't like but it's not bad compared to what it could be.
Tonight is pork chops and fried potatoes. Gotta figure out some beggies to start fixing or sides. Getting bored of the same o same o
JUJU: It's challenging to get those lil' ones to eat sometimes! We always made ours eat whatever we were eating...either they ate or they didn't, lol!
The doctor always said, "When they get hungry--they eat!" I respect moms however, that give their kids a choice.
Tonight:
Stuffed pork chops (apple/nut/stuffing mixture)
Garlic herb fried potatoes
Salad with ranchalian dressing
--Knox--
I ate Fritos for dinner tonight. That Itialan chicken sure sounds yummy!
Knox: Our kids are that way. Either they eat what we do or they starve. But of course, I make sure there is something on the table each meal that they will eat.
well, it's really my 4yo who's picky, 2yo will eat almost anything. it's not entirely her fault. she has had GERD since she was born and was on baby food until 3. as she's gotten older it's turned into the amazing ability to linda blair vomit pretty much at will (fun!).
so that limits her diet to things that are pretty bland and not rich. i'm from new orleans, so i like my food with some flavor. it's just recently that she's been able to stomach a little red sauce on her spaghetti. when we have anything with brown gravy, i have to blot the meat dry.
so this recipe sounds perfect. i know she can eat italian breadcrumbs 'cause they're in meatballs, and everything else is not spicy or too rich. so if she doesn't like it i can feel comfortable pulling the 'this is dinner, eat it or not' routine.
and if i serve it with green beans, at least i know she'll eat those. she loves green beans and carrots so much that as a baby, she turned bright orange. first christmas pictures, cute little baby in a green elf costume with this bright orange nose, kinda like rudolph.
but with today's cake decorating plans for tomorrow, i have absolutely no time to cook. so dinner's going to be glazed ham (thank you hormel... those entrees (they're usually in the meat case) are delicious) with au gratin potatoes and green beans.
tomorrow's cake was supposed to be that big impressive turkey, but i couldn't get the pans and everything together. so i'm doing a 2 layer 9x13 white cake with strawberry puree filling & vanilla frosting under fondant with fondant fall leaves & "hand turkeys" taken from the girls' handprints. maw-maw will love that it's her babies' handprints probably more than she'd've liked the turkey anyway.
I understand about the GERD. So sorry you couldn't find seomthing to help her more. My dd has it too. She takes Prilosec now at age 2 for it. She know exactly when she needs it. When she was younger we just gave her baby rice in her breast milk. If we did this daily it kept the GERD under control. As she got older the Doc had us ad a Prilosec daily until the foods didn't seem to bother her. Now it's just and ocassional Prilosec, thankfully.
Awwww, GOTHGATE!! Poor lil' baby....oh.
My 18 year old had gerd/colic 'til he was about 7 months old. Yeah. I remember ALWAYS packing an extra shirt when we'd go out to eat (FOR ME!!) because he was like that.
A lifesaver for me was those disposable bibs from Playtex, too. When I'd see that he was going to heave---I'd just hold it up under his chin and over his mouth. It caught everything, and I could just slip it into a plastic bag in my purse. WHEW! I do NOT miss those times...sheesh!
Yeah, so you've really gotta watch everything she eats, huh?! I remember some pink colored drops I used to buy at the drugstore---hmmm....what were they called? MYLICON!!! That's it!!! Those things helped tremendously back then, too.
Tonight is something quick and easy for dinner. Maybe I'll do some broccoli and cheese soup with cornbread muffins. Sounds like a plan!
--Knox--
yeah, she's been on zantac pretty much since she started experimenting with solid foods. when we know she's going to eat something that's likely to irritate her, we slip her a baby pepto too.
i just got finished putting her to bed. she had horrible hiccups and esophagus spasms. i had to rub her back and then up and down the middle of her chest until at last they'd stop. unfortunately it's all my fault. my mom & i both have the same thing. bad roll of the genetic dice.
what's bad for me is that she's learning to use it to her advantage. she's got a 'big gun' to pull during temper tantrums. she'll get that gaspy cry going and i know it's do some quick negotiating or 'thar she blows!' in front of everybody at the store. not fun at all. fortunately she doesn't do it often just because it feels so icky & hurts her tummy after to do it.
true to their types, 2yo ate everything on her plate except the "burnt" parts of the au gratin potatoes. 4yo ate green beans and one maybe 1/4" square piece of ham and one fork-tine-ful of potatoes to satisfy the 'at least taste everything' requirement. then it was leftover cake from leveling with leftover frosting and extra fondant leaves (they love the stuff, go figure). two cute little girls orange from ear to ear and covered in crumbs.
tomorrow, what to eat for dinner isn't my problem! somebody else is cooking for a change. cake's in the fridge so my part is done!
I have just been nibbling here & there tonight. I have been in & out of the kitchen.
Dang I have been busy tonight. I have just been preping for tomorrow so I can be done faster.
I have to be up at 1:30 am to get my ham in the oven (he's a hefty 20.67 pound pig ). I think I may need to get in bed soon, maybe.
We had little smokies and fried potatoes for supper. Tomorrow all I have to fix is a Birthday cake for my uncle's stepson. I'll be going there to eat.
yesterday was panda express.....
chow mein noodles
mushroom chicken
broccoli beef
potstickers
pepsi
and of course a fortune cookie
tonight mom cooked....
arroz con pollo
pepsi
i haven't been drinking diet cokes and my migraines haven't been so bad which is great. but since i'm addicted to soda........my calories are racking up fast!!!
anyway.....happy thanksgiving to everyone!!
Ya'll, I am so full I can barely gobble! I have been cooking for 2 days! On top of cooking for me, dh and noodle, the fil and step-mil decided to join us for dinner and she asked me to make (drumroll please for the woman who has no freakin' clue) an engagement cake for my bil and his new fiance' because they are having a family get together tomorrow to celebrate it! Yeah no prob, I'll cook 5,000 things and make your mini wedding cake! (At least I really liked the cake except I'm still rolling my fondant too thin so you can see all the lumps and bumps under-even with a good smooth bc coat).
Hope you guys all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Dori
*makes groaning sounds like Beavis & Butthead*
"Oh...ugh! uuuhh...WHOA! Beavis! I'm not hungry anymore....uhhhh."
Hey, Y'all.
My menu took a completely different turn than what I'd planned. DH won a HAM a few days ago at a TURKEY shoot. 
Anyway--I cooked most of the morning, and everything turned out good.
It wasn't like Thanksgiving usually is though. It was just the three of us, DH, me and the youngest. The big one just showed up a couple of hours ago to get a plate. I'm grateful for that, though; At least I know he's alive, and that at least for tonight--he's not out there bugging someone else.
We had:
Copycat honeybaked ham (it's EXACTLY the same ham--I could sell 'em!)
Green bean casserole
Twice baked potatoes
Cornbread-almond-sausage stuffing
Rum Cake 
Pumpkin Pie
Sweet tea w/lemons & limes
TUMS 
Blessings to Y'all,
--Knox--
