What's For Dinner?
I put some chicken in the crock pot with Cajun seasonings. I'm not sure what I'm going to put with it yet, but I know the main course will be chicken! I'll keep thinking about sides as the afternoon goes on.

Update: 5:27 PM: We had an early dinner. We had some left over roast beef from this weekend so I made a roast beef sandwich and had some apple. Alexis wanted cherries, apple and mozzarella. Simple, quick and tasty...Not bad at all! ;o)

What's For Dinner?: Labor Day Edition!
This afternoon some friends of ours we haven't seen for a long time are coming over and bringing their son. We plan on relaxing, chatting and letting the kids play. We decided to make a couple of pizzas for dinner: A gluten free meat pizza and a regular veggie pizza. I've got everything shredded/chopped/ready to go in the fridge so when the time comes I'll put the pizzas together. We'll also have a tossed salad and homeade blue cheese or ranch dressing to choose from.
I had planned to make Dorie's Ice Cream Torte yesterday, but I ran out of time. I'm baking a basic chocolate cake (cooling now) and plan to frost it with Caramel Frosting. I made Jamison a gluten free chocolate cake and will frost it the same way.

Tonight Jamison has class so Alexis has asked for Chicken Noodle Soup and I must say it's a fabulous choice for this dark, rainy day! Though I must admit I'm enjoying the weather too...We really needed some rain!
Oh and just so you know until early December Jamison will be in class on Tuesday and Thursday nights and you most likely will not see rice or potatoes on the menu (unless they are creative) on those nights until then! ;oP

Tonight we're having guests over for dinner. That's always fun! We're having fajitas (pan made this time I decided it was too hot outside so I pulled out the crock pot instead!), "Refried" Beans, queso, tortilla chips, Fresh "Salsa" and roasted peppers and onions to go on the fajitas. We'll also have cheese and sour cream for topping if desired.
For dessert we're having a peanut butter cheesecake with a chocolate crust (I made Jamison a gluten free version with no crust), topped with hot fudge and freshly whipped cream.
To drink I took some of the concentrate from the Strawberry Lemonade Punch in the freezer and simply made Strawberry Lemonade instead. I also made some Passion Fruit iced tea. I'll have sugar or a zero calorie sweetener for the tea if needed, but I think it's best just straight up and of course we'll have water if either of the above choices don't suit.

Do ever just have one of those days that you're just exhausted before you ever get started? I didn't sleep well last night and subsequently I'm just foggy today. So what does that have to do with dinner? I'm glad you asked! ;oP
Tonight I think a little comfort food is in order, and also food that I don't have to give too much thought to either since my brain is a little foggy! So this morning before Alexis and I headed upstairs to her school room to do lessons I put a roast in the slow cooker. With the roast I'll whip up some mashed potatoes...Plain for Jamison and goat cheese for me. We also have some left over corn from last night for Alexis and me and possibly some sliced cucumbers and/or tomatoes.

The first day of Kindergarten went well! We had a blip here or there, but otherwise it went entirely smoothly and Alexis had fun, so that is all that matters! Now let's talk dinner!
Tonight we're having pork chops, fresh tomatoes and Parmesan and garlic roasted potatoes. For dessert, which we don't normally do that often, but hey it's a special day...Alexis and I will have peach cobbler and for Jamison I will figure out something gluten-free, but I'm not sure what it will be yet.

It's time to get ready and go to swim lessons! And Alexis would like to you know..."Finally!" ;oP
Update: 4:09 PM: When we got back from Miss G's swim class and I started to get everything ready to put the chicken in the oven I discovered it's still frozen solid! I briefly thought about waffles, but we don't have enough maple syrup. I was trying to think of something else we could have with the original side dishes, but I'm not having much luck with that either. Back to the drawing board!
Update: 4:41 PM: We're going to have left over meat from last night with the same sides as listed above. Who says compromise isn't good? ;oP
Update: 5:51 PM: When I cooked the corn on the cob it turned fluorescent orange! Fluorescent orange? No way that is natural or are we eating it...WTF? I pulled some frozen corn out of the freezer and we are having that instead.

Update: 3:50 PM: After planning out dinner I had a complete change of heart. Jamison wants lasagna so I'm making him a single serving lasagna and one for Alexis too. I'm going to make some Chicken Fajita Nachos for me since I'm not really in a real lasagna mood today. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow! ;o)

I put a turkey breast into the slow cooker with some black pepper, dried rosemary, sea salt and just a bit of olive oil. I've never made turkey like this before, but it works for chicken so why not? The breast is from a local, natural turkey farm and is big enough to have left overs for sandwiches and other things I want to play around with.
I'll make Jamison some mashed potatoes and pull a gluten free roll for him out of the freezer. I'll makes some mashed sweet potatoes for Alexis and I. I'll also have a side salad and Alexis will most likely have some cucumbers and/or tomatoes along with the rest of her dinner.

Alexis also informs me she wants cucumbers and cherry tomatoes...Easy enough!

We have a tradition that you get to pick what you want to eat on the day of your birthday. Alexis chose waffles for breakfast, pizza for lunch and drum roll please....
For dinner she has chosen spaghetti! Shocker I know! ;oP I'm going to make a fresh pasta topper with grape tomatoes, asparagus, onions, mushrooms and a little thyme and rosemary for me and regular spaghetti for Alexis and Jamison.
Tomorrow she'll get back on a more healthy, less bad carb laden track, but for today it's her birthday so it's all good! ;o) Saturday is her actual birthday. We're having a Tinkerbell party and her cake will be then! I hope to have pictures of the cake to share. We'll see how the cake ends up and if I can get a good shot with the cameras available. I miss my 20D! :o(
What are you having?
Update: 5:39 PM: While Alexis was playing I spent the past few hours weeding the flower beds. I'm in the mood for anything, but something warm, so I made up a veggie and fruit plate with cucumbers, cherries and blueberries for my dinner instead. Sometimes when you're hot, you just want something light and cold to eat! Jamison and Alexis are still having spaghetti. :o)

What's For Dinner?
I have some boneless, skinless, chicken breasts thawed, but I don't know what I want to do with them yet. It's a very warm day today too so I know I don't want to heat up the oven. I've got some asparagus I need to use too...Who knows??!?!?

Update: 5:53 PM: Baking some chicken in the toaster oven with a little seasoning blend. Going to make some potatoes for Jamison and some asparagus for me and Miss G. Dinner will be a little late, but that's ok. :o)

What's For Dinner?
Jamison wants meatloaf, so I'll make him a mini-meatloaf and some mashed potatoes. I think I'm going to have a mixed green salad with some homemade blue cheese dressing and Alexis wants watermelon and blueberries...How's that for a mixed bag? ;oP

What's For Dinner?
Alexis and Jamison love spaghetti and I'm utterly bored with that dish. I've been trying to put them off, but tonight I'm going to make some for them. I however am going to make some homemade spinach ravioli with mushrooms. I'm also baking a gluten free loaf of French bread.
