What's for Dinner? May 2009

[cau]

Beautiful day today so we are grilling burgers and making pasta and kidney bean salads

[barbszy]

It's raining here but DH says he wants to grill. We may have some wet dinner, LOL!

I'm marinating chicken breasts for Luau Chicken. This comes out so tender and juicy.

On the side we're having tater tots and some kind of vegetable.

Last night's dinner was chop suey and peas. Tonight's dinner is broiled salmon with lemon and dill, asparagas and basamati rice.

I'm going to make a pot of ham & bean soup since the girls have ballet and will need to eat at 5 and the guys have lodge and will eat at 6. I have corn bread in the freezer plus they can have tossed salad or macaroni salad if they want.

We have chicken and veggies left from Saturday night that need to be used so I am doing chicken-on-a-stick again. Yum.

Happymomof4, I agree with Chris - yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Sammi, what time is dinner at your house? Yours sounds yummy, too!

I forgot that tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo. I guess we're celebrating Quatro de Mayo at our house - lol! We're having chicken fajitas tonight with rice and fruit salad.
