WFD? Inspire me!

Well, last night we had an order of 5 Guys fries and called it dinner. Tonight will probably be our go-to chicken breasts + roasted veggies. We're boring. And I'm not very creative these days.

We (well, DH and I) are having panzanella and corn on the cob tonight. The small ones will have chicken strips and tater tots and mixed veggies.

Last night, we all had pennette (small penne) pasta with marinara sauce I made from garden tomatoes. Roasted broccoli.

Tomorrow is salmon with pesto-mayo and this frozen quinoa/veggie blend I buy at Trader Joe's.

We have bell peppers coming on in the garden too so I think I'll pick up a steak this weekend and make some fajitas. Kids will have chicken quesadillas and black beans -- their fave.

Kabobs, chicken and chorizo fajitas, grilled chicken salad and sausage sandwiches. Nothing too exciting.

Probably leftovers from what I made on Monday, Italian baked chicken. It's super easy to make. I should remember to make it more and LO even ate some!

You just need a bottle of Italian dressing and chickens breasts. I add Parmesan because cheese.

Pretty much you just jump the chicken in an oven-safe dish, douse it with the dressing and let it marinate at least 20 mins. (More is better, but whatevs.) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and then pop that chicken in. I think I baked it for 40 mins. Delicious and super easy.

I hide veggies from H (or at least cook them down in to pasta sauce so they're hardly noticable. It works fairly well, and has been good training for LO.

Just saw this recipe: www.tablefortwoblog.com/15-minute-spinach-pesto-quinoa-bowl/ and think it would be great with some diced up chicken added in.

Man I had so many typos in my prior post. WTH fingers? Get your act together.

And yes, cheese is a good reasons for all things.

liziz, I can usually sneak peppers, spinach and a little extra tomato into pasta sauce but H is weird about pasta for some reason so I can't make pasta all the time (totally would, pasta is awesome).

dawnfire, do want! Also "because cheese" pretty much describes my cooking philosophy.

I wonder if I could make spinach ricotta cannelloni and convince him the spinach is herbs, if I blitzed it and mixed it in...

Do it with the spinach ricotta cannelloni.  I'm the picky one in our house and even I will mince up spinach and add it to our lasagne cheese mix with no issues.

We made this for dinner last night and it was really good. We used pork chops, but you could use chicken.

And we are having this tonight with homemade egg rolls. You could use tenders instead of thighs.

Would your DH eat this? It's basically a spinach artichoke dip over chicken. I've made it serveral times and it's divine.

Tonight we're having burgers and corn on the cob but earlier this week I made a version of Wendy's cranberry pecan salad or whatever it is at DH's request that was tasty! Greens with chicken, roasted pecans, sweet dried cranberries, apples, and blue cheese with a raspberry pomegranate dressing.

Cauliflower fried "rice" - yummy, healthy and filling!

[honeybee434]

littlemissmarla That looks so good!

I ate watermelon for dinner. Oh, pregnancy.

lea, do want that salad.
soon2bmrsn, he once ate a garlic artichoke dip before he knew it had artichokes so that could be doable. I have never cooked an artichoke so this could be a learning experience.

littlemissmarla, I don't like rice. Please teach me how to get H to eat this, it looks wonderful!

I've never cooked an artichoke. The canned or frozen ones are just fine!

Any maybe tell him it's rice? He may not know the difference.

I wouldn't even say it's cauliflower, just say it's fried rice lol. DH can be picky too so I will lie and wait for him to realize and by then he has already tasted it and likes it.
