I'm not sure. I am going with my bff to a casino tonight, and she got us a room so we're spending the night too!!! WOOHOO! A night away from my brood...doesn't happen often. So we'll either eat at the HUGE buffet, or just get a snack at the cafe. As far as dh and the girls...they are on their own! LOL I'm sure they'll talk him into take-out...I'm sure he won't feel much like cooking if he's playing Mr. Mom tonight.

I just got a firm grip on reality....
Now I can strangle it

I am making (I think) sausage, cabbage, and pasta. It's a one-dish meal. It sounds kind of gross, but it is actually very good. I have the sausage thawing, but I might make red beans and rice from a mix and just add the sausage. Just depends. I don't really like the way my house smells when I make cabbage and we may have DH's cousin over later tonight. I just talked myself out of it. Red beans and rice, it is...

Janenga - hope you win!

Have a great time, Janenga.

Nightflier, would you share the stir-fry pizza recipe? Sounds interesting.

As for us, I'm trying a new recipe I found on Allrecipes. We're having Hudson's Baked Tilapia with Dill Sauce (I've got tons of volunteer dill out in the garden). I think we'll have baked potatoes and whatever green veggie I can find in the freezer (I know I'm getting low, so it will probably be peas).

garlic grilled shrimp with saffron rice and fresh green beans. Angel food cake with strawberries and whip cream

dh made steaks and boneless chicken breasts on the grill along with some peppers... I made oven roasted potatoes with onions, and buttermilk biscuits. I should probably add something green to the menu, lol.

I made pesto with a bunch of fresh basil, garlic, salt, olive oil, and parmesan cheese. I read in a magazine that you can substitute toasted almonds for the pine nuts. I tossed the pasta with the pesto sauce and added the toasted almonds. Came out great! We had cold grilled shrimp on the side.

Linda, I really don’t have a specific recipe it’s just a ‘slap it together type thing’, made with a purchased dough from
a local Italian restaurant. I marinate chicken or beef in a teriyaki, peanut or ginger/soy sauce and grill it (basting with
the sauce). The vegetables depend on what I have on hand and I stir fry them in the same sauce. We like thin crust
so I fry one side in a little olive oil (or brush oil on one side and grill) until browned/crisp, flip it; add the chicken/beef
and toppings, sprinkle with cheese and cook until the bottom side is browned/crisp and the cheese has melted (tent
with foil if the crust begins to brown faster than the cheese melts). I serve a little of the warmed sauce on the side for
drizzling/dipping.
