WFD (Whats For Dinner)? CHILI here tonight, how about U?

we dont do this often enough- we should share supper ideas/recipes here. Food is an important part of recovery ya know! So whats everyone having for supper tonight- whether youre cooking it or someone else is, doesnt matter...

Today Im making a huge pot of chili~ i have some frozen tomatoes in the freezer from the garden this summer that I will use, and will also throw in tons of big slices of onions, green+red+yellow bell peppers, meat, kidney beans and of course i always make pasta with it (Ziti this time). THe kids love the noodles in the chili and i put shredded cheese on top too.    Its a perfect day to make it too..my 5 yr old finally went back to school (yesterday) and my 3 yr old is playing happily with himself with cars right now, and its POURING rain outside allll day. Everyone else is gone in the house (mom is shopping) so I will start simmering my chili here soon!

My husband makes something similar to that when he cooks, and it IS good....


dominosarah:  Believe it or not, I only just tried pineapple for the first time in my life over the summer.  I am a fruit bigot, lol...I don't eat it...I had to admit though, that I actually found it very tasty, this was fresh pineapple btw...but I would still not like it on pizza....
I like those fend-for-yourself nights...but every night is that way for the eldest kid..She is the pickiest eater in the world and hates everything or won't try it, so I gave up.  

We had chicken fried rice tonight....I cut up some chicken breasts and cooked them in olive oil and I cooked some white rice and cooled it down.  Then, you put about 2 Tbsp of oil in a pan, stir fry the cooled rice and about 1/3 cup of chopped green onion.  Add 2 Tbsp soy sauce and some Chinese seasoning...(I'll have to write down my recipe for that, but you can use a packet of stir fry powdered seasoning too).  After that, you push it all to the side in the pan and scramble 2 eggs and then mix that in (I prefer to do my scrambling separately and then add it)...then add your cooked chicken.  

Andy had seconds and will be taking some for lunch tomorrow.  It was good, and if you like veggies, you can add whatever you dig...like maybe peas..

Um, I 2nd that Jacq.....I HATE pineapple on pizza???? I hate fruit on pizza. I am a regular, Extra cheese, mushroon, pepporini and sausage kinda person.......NO PINEAPPLE.

And here is a quick recipe that I have been making for years, I call it chicken s h i t, but I am sure that it has another name. Its chicken, stuffing and cream of mushroon soup. SO GOOD. Cut up the chicken, and layer it on the bottom of a casserole dish, then put the stuffing on top of the chicken. Put another layer of chicken and then another layer of stuffing, then top it with a can of cream of mushroon soup, cook in the over for 1 hr at 350 and thats it. ITS SOOOO GOOD and my family loves it. My g-mom used to make it for me and I got it from her. But I saw the same recipe on Cambells. com...lol

Its good though...and so easy.

and Nauty yes you can freeze tomatoes. But probably not the way youre thinking of. You dont just pick a fresh tomato and open up your freezer and chuck it in there, LOL. YOu have to can them or process them first.  I used old orange juice cartons to put tomato puree in from our garden tomatoes and then just thaw them out when i want to use for recipes such as this chili.
