It was nice! LOL, especially when Kota looked across the table and said, "So Daddy, tell us how your day at work was." We cracked up cuz she sounded just like one of us asking after their day at school! I've missed not having to rush through dinner.

I've also missed cooking in my oven on occassions and have started to miss chicken, lol. Sis told me to simmer my chicken. I said huh? You take your chicken, throw it in a sauce pan with bbq sauce (water it down a little) bring it to a boil and then simmer it for an hour and a half. It turned out really good! Between that, rice and veggies and Darren picked up a german chocolate cake from the bakery, it was a great dinner!

Hey Lum, what do you put in your mashed cauliflower?? It's a staple around here, and we mostly butter and parm, you use anything else?

Nope, Dahli, I just added a little butter, salt and pepper. Got a few other ideas for using cauliflower, though that we'll try soon, including "roasted" w/Parmesan, tossed in a frying pan w/butter and bread crumbs and as a casserole w/ a little white sauce and lean ham.

Members at a site I frequent also use sour cream or buttermilk and philly cheese as a binder. I'll try just about anything once.

I love reading here for dinner ideas :-)

Lumbele, your dinners always sound like what I'd like to order in a restaurant!

I'm going to make pan seared scallops with ginger-lime-cilantro sauce. Also some parmesan couscous and a veggie (haven't decided yet).

Yikes,I've got to get to the store now and stock up before tomorrow's snowstorm.

Weird.... we just bought frozen cauliflower for the first time this week, and here everyone is talking about cauliflower recipes. Synchronicity - ya gotta luv it. LOL.

I try to do things the easy (lazy) way. So I'm going to sautee them in Campbells cheese soup, but using less water than for soup to make it creamier and less runny. I'm thinking of this as a side dish. But not sure what to serve as the main course. I'm thinking chops... but can't decide on veal, pork, or lamb. Which do you guys think would go best with cheesy-cauliflower, or would it go with any of them?

Oh dh just called. He's bringing home some sirloin steaks cuz they are on sale at the grocery store. Yippee! And those will go great IMHO with the cheesy cauliflower dish. Mmmmmmmmm.

Mame, you can try a little milk instead of water and it will be thicker.

Steak sandwiches and fries for us tonight.

Oh Mamie that sounds good!

I've got ground beef taken out but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. All I've got in the house is hamburger helper and was figuring on that til aunt called and asked if I could go to the grocery store for her today so I may pick up hamburger buns and fixings.

We make steak sandwiches like my MIL did. She would saute some green onions in a little butter and then pour in some Heinz57 steak sauce. You then take your roll and dip the inside into the sauce/onions. It really makes it very tasty.

Around 6, if you get in your car now, you might make it.

Wahoo! I'll have to check and see if I have any steaks in the freezer, though I don't think I do.

Ruthie, thanks, but I can't take the credit. Most of our meals are Weightwatchers' recipes that we are trying out one by one. Occasionally, we hit a dud, but for the most part they are darn good and not "diety" at all.

Red quinoa!? Cool. The carrots too. You must live in a bigger city than I do. Those things sound very exotic! :-)


Whole wheat spaghetti and tomato sauce made from scratch...caesar salad.

Dahli, you can look at a farmers market or organic health food store. Find a store that sells various flours and beans and rices, and you will also find the quinoa. It's great protein source without all that starch.

My mom called that she made me a pumpkin pie so that's dessert. One of my daycare kids loves her pumpkin pie (she makes the best) and had asked me about it so mom made it for her.

I'm not making it, though I do make a great pizza if I say so myself. It's Friday so that means Mom does not cook.
