    What are you thinking about eating tonight (or if you're on the East Coast), what did you have for dinner?

    Or snack, or dessert, or whatever?!?!?!

    Tonight we were going to grill: seasoned cheesy turkey burgers, sliced potatoes, sweet onions and corn; but FI has worked 8 days straight and decided to go hang out with the guys tonight (Fine by me, I worked a 4am shift today; so no BBQ means I get to take a nap!). 

    As it would happen, I bought some raw pizza dough at work before I left. So, I think I'll make a cheesy garlic pizza for dinner and have some more green beans.

    For dessert we have PB chocolate ice cream in the freezer and the rare treat of canned whipped cream in the fridge (left over from a picnic). I have been crushing graham crackers over the whipped cream/ice cream and it is to DIE FOR!

    I made some breaded flounder with sauteed squash and broccoli. It was delish!

    @Lady Baker:I want EVERYTHING you're having. Way to make my sweet tooth kick in! ;)

    My DH had to work the evening shift so I made an early dinner of blanquet d'agneu...which is a pretty name for lamb stew. It's only for special occasions and I thought since he's taking his GRE tomorrow he deserved it:)

    We had homemade mac and cheese for dinner.  Now I'm eating some Chicken in a Biskit crackers.  They make me feel sick but they're so delicious.

    @JewishBride: Good idea (Good luck to him!). When FI is done with his 15-days-of-work; I'll be making him either chicken potato dumpling soup or cheesy potato crockpot soup. 

    It's nice when you can make someone you love a good meal as a way to show your love! (Crap, that sounds so corny!)

    I haven't eaten dinner yet. Can't decide if I'm going to. I had a big lunch (chipotle) and then at like 3 I had some pretzels with nutella. So I'm not really starving and it's getting late here (8:30). The belgian waffles from above sound pretty good though! I think I'm prob too lazy to get out the stuff to make that for dinner though haha.

    I made Chicken fried rice, just nix the soy sauce and add Balsamic vinegar instead. I thought it was just okay but FI inhaled about 4 servings of it. And in an attempt to make it healthy it was equal parts rice and veggies with brown rice.

    @PitBulLover: i <3 morningstar. my fav are the italian chicken patties (love them for fake chicken parm, chicken sandwich, or chopped on salad), and the black bean veggie burgers. even my dad will eat the black bean burgers and he's a guy that believes a meal isn't a meal unless something with a face is on his plate.

    We're having a buttermilk summer squash soup - lots of squash on the menu lately, courtesy of our backyard garden! I'm excited not only because our squash this year has been fantastic and really flavorful, but also because I got out our pressure cooker yesterday and made a homemade vegetable stock with oven-roasted vegetables. I'd never roasted the vegetables before making them into stock, and it gave the stock an amazing depth of rich flavor. Can't wait to put that in a soup!

    For a side, we're doing couscous with cherry tomatoes, chickpeas and cucumber. I plan to make enough couscous to serve the leftovers alongside tomorrow night's dinner (grilled lemon-herb veggie burger sliders).

    @Mrs.ChubbyBunny: Mmm, we love breakfast for dinner, thanks for the reminder that we're overdue for one of those evenings. :)

    We had taco salad :) I had some iceberg lettuce that was going to go south soon so I used that all up with some onions, warm ground beef with kidney beans and sharp cheddar cheese with ranch dressing and salsa mixed for dressing. So good.

    I made a smorgishborg of things:

    After last nights Bee discussion of low-cal snacks, I was obsessed with cucumbers and vinegar. So I made a cucumber, feta cheese, fresh mozzarella, and red wine vinaigrette salad ( its still chiling)

    For the man I boiled up some pasta & threw on some italian sausage red sauce, and then put in some left over chunks of Schweinebraten ( pork roast) for some protein for him.

    I made a quick salad with cesesar dressing and some cottage cheese for myself.

    We're going to have some turkey dogs and some Mac and Cheese. My FI is awesome and has figured out a way to do a fairly low cal/WW points dinner with Sarah Lee 80 Calories and Wonderful buns, Ballpark Smoked White Turkey dogs (45 cal each!) and Annie's Whole Wheat Shells and Cheddar, which is the splurge item but still much better for you than other versions of mac and cheese. Mmm, now I'm hungry. Hopefully he'll get home soon so we can eat!
