    For some reason, this type of thread is always one of my favorites on Post-A-Thon nights!  Smile  I received a package of Harry & David pears today at work, and we have a bag of spinach & a tub of feta in the fridge - I'm just going to throw it all together and whip up an easy balsamic vinaigrette.  YUM!

    What are you eating tonight?

    We're not sure yet. Mr. S was talking about making us some butternut squash soup tonight, but we're both feeling sort of bleh and might head out for some matzoh ball soup instead. ;)

    Hubby was talking about making some Corn Chowder for dinner.  Yum!  He is off work this week, so he is doing all the cooking :-)

    I made buffalo chicken chili, and ate mine with sauteed onions (my fiance doesn't like onions, so I couldn't just add them into the chili).  I hadn't made this chili in awhile, and it was delicious!!

    We're heading out to a cocktail party at my sister's house.  The food she has on the menu--leek and proscuitto empanadas, shrimp cocktail, assorted cheese, hummus and pita chips, tortilla chips and guac, potstickers, mixed nuts and, well, cocktails. ;)  I'm pretty excited and did an extra 30 minutes on the elliptical in advance so I can splurge a little.

    I don't actually know what we're having for dinner. We've been invited to a friend's house for dinner, present exchange (they were out of town over Christmas), and the Penguins' game. I guarantee it will be tasty and involve alcohol - the husband of the couple is quite the bartender and *incredibly* fussy when it comes to booze. There's stuff in his bar that I've never even heard of - he special orders or imports it.

    OMG this thread is making me hungry.

    There are about two bites and one crab rangoon leftover from my lunch, but I don't think that's going to cut it. I'll probably be horrible and eat five mini kit kats after that. Sigh.

    Of course!

    Buffalo Chicken Chili

    1 1/3 pound of ground turkey or chicken
    1 15 oz can of white beans, drained and rinsed
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp fresh ground pepper
    1 tsp onion poweder
    1 tsp cajun seasoning
    1 tsp salt
    2 tbl flour
    1/3 cup hot sauce (cayenne + vinegar based, like Frank's Red Hot)
    1 tbl blue cheese dressing
    10 oz chicken broth
    2 oz vermouth, white wine, or beer [Whatever you have on hand]

    In dutch oven or large pot, brown the turkey or chicken until cooked all the way through. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, cajun seasoning, and flour over the meat, stirring well to elimate any lumps and combine. Add the remaining ingredients, and stir to combine.&nbsp; Cover and simmer on low for about forty five minutes, or as long as you'd like, stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick.

    Serve with a little cheese on top (blue or cheddar), some crispies (crackers, tortilla chips, my fiance loves goldfish crackers on his!), and a dollop of sour cream.  Also great with a little bit of chopped celery.

    We spent an hour at a mob scene grocery store on the way home buying things for our NYE party and couldn't physically get to or carry any more food, so I ordered us some nice sushi for dinner :)

    We are having Voila Chicken (it's a frozen meal in a bag). I will admit that most nights we eat frozen things and heat them up.

    Oh @gilneas - THANK YOU for that recipe! It sounds amazing!!!

    I made myself a spinach and feta omlette, and had some of my mother-in-law's mac&cheese that is leftover in the fridge. Random, I know. ;)

    We had Thai Red Curry made by my lovely fiance. He made it SUPER spicy though, and my tongue is still on fire!
