I thought it might be fun to start a thread on what we are having, making or had for dinner. Sometimes it is the best tuna steak you ever had, sometimes it's a can of soup. But we all do it every night in some form or another. Maybe we can give each other ideas on what to make, or bitch about what we had, or the fact that we did enjoy that grilled cheese with tomato soup.
Every night my husband comes home and says "whats for dinner?" no matter what I say he always says "sounds good!" even if I say it's a 'fend for yourself night'. :)

Your DH is sweet! Nice idea for a thread.
Right now I'm looking at ice and snow and 24 more hours of it, so I'm thinking comfort food... some bean soup and cornbread, if the power doesn't go out first :) If it does, I'll have PB & banana, or a bowl of Cheerios (I have milk in a cooler so I don't have to open the fridge if the power goes out).
What are you having, Laurie, and what's everyone else having, and can I come over if my power goes out? :)

I had a busy day and was feeling tired so I am making a salsa chicken dish with brown rice that require no work at all. aka- lazy yummy dinner:)
And yes you can come over if your power goes out, we can make grilled cheese on the wood stove- I've done it before! (bring the beansoup:)

Hi Laurie,
LOVE your idea! Tonight I have a pot of bean soup simmering... smells wonderful but, due to shoveling, got started a bit too late to have tonight.... Eh, it will be even better tomorrow!
SO, leftover sweet italian sausage with sauteed red bell peppers and onions simmered in marsala wine, tomato and basil. Choice of over pasta or on a hoagie roll!! Not exactly (or remotely) healthfood BUT, Soooo Good!

tougherthan i thought- I thought I was the only one who made english muffin pizzas? They were a favorite of mine when I was a kid and still are.
Seaside- if I tell my husband what you are making for dinner I think he would be on his way to your house.

Great thread idea! I work, so always need some ideas.. and usually something easy!
I'm going to Trader Joe's (cheap, mostly "healthy stuff" grocery store) after work, so dinner tonight will probably be one of their fresh prepared meals in the refrigerated section. Hmmmm... lasagna? chicken caesar salad? enchiladas? stuffed green peppers? .... this is making me hungry!
Though for me.... I'm trying to have an "anti-breast cancer" food incorporated in each of my meals. So I may be sprinkling cut up beets/broccoli/brussel sprouts/kale on one of the above. Yum!?!
P.S. I love PB and banana too!!!!

Laurie, how do you make the chicken-salsa and brown rice dinner? Is it as simple as it sounds? I love new ideas for brown rice and am trying to eat more lean protein so that sound perfect...
SusansGarden, the more you eat anti-bc food, the more you may come to like it... I still crave "bad" foods at times but they taste less and less good to me. I'm a huge veggies, fruit and whole-grains fan now.
PB & banana -- the best way to eat PB! I don't get the PB & pickle thing, though :)
Stay warm and safe, everyone -- I'm off to fix my dinner!

Laurie,
You all would be welcome anytime!
My husband left on a business trip yesterday (gone till th ened of the week) so that was his "going away dinner"! Wish I could say that's how I cook all the time but, I would be lying!
PB and banana.... Wow, haven't had that in a long time but, used to love it.... Just one question.... How do YOU slice the bananas? I was a slice into rounds kind of girl.... BUT my sister-in-law is a slice lengthwise person.... I can see how each has their benefits!

Carol ~ I actually started a big "health kick" (eating & exercising ~ and lost 25 lbs) about 4 months before I was diagnosed. So I've been "upping my game" since BC and started adding more varieties (like the beets, brussel sprouts) ... and you are right.. I actually do like a lot of it now!..and the processed foods will often taste too salty, too sweet, etc. and are getting easier and easier to avoid.
Chicken, salsa and brown rice does sound simple! .. and delicious!
