Well as u all know its tues and that mean I dont cook the rest of the week monday is my ONLY cooking day. We had tacos went off without a problem. Now I will take the left over meat and mix up some bisquick and them top it with the left over meat, onion, salsa, cheese and bake til done. Its pretty good and warms up great in the microwave so thats what I'll be having for lunches.

Tonight its Red Lobster! Then its fishing season so we got some fresh perch and we will fry that up in some butter and salt and pepper its the only fish I like that he catchs. We have a whole freezer full of salmon from last year! So thats what I'm having.

Thanks all!

Dont you hate that. Youve been away from them all day, had a rough day at work and the first thing out of their mouths is whats for dinner? My poor kids are afraid to ask now.

My daughter is the same way. Thankfully she usually eats at my moms for dinner. But it never fails within an hour or so esspecially when I am in bed relaxing for the first time of the day she would say mommy I'm hungry.... I want to scream how could you possibly be hungry with everything grandma feeds you.

I'm in the mood to cook today but nothing spectacular something just for my daughter and I. Abf wont be getting home from work till about 12 am. Any one have any ideas of something simple and good?? Oh yeah I am not a veggie eater.

hugs,
jewel

That is my kids favorite meal. It used to be a cheap option, except now as they are growing they each want a can to themselves.

Add a slice of toast. If its whole wheat you are really good to go.

Add a third to that equation and watch what happens to the grocery list it is amazing what they consume. We go through three loaves of bread in a week, and 2 boxes of cereal when they eat breakfast at home.

I now buy and we (just me and boys) consume 2 large pizzas in an evening.

Only boring burgers tonight. Trying to find someone to make a cake. This weekend is a surprise dirty 30 party for my son in law, We have a DJ & everything. (my step daughters friend is doing it) My sister in law was going to make a boob cake. But she had a death in the family, so she's in florida for a few days. I can't find anyone yet.

Funny about the dirty thirty party. My sister wanted one so I took her to the "Barrel of dolls" its one of the dirtiest strip clubs around here I guess not what she was thinking. My 30th I rented a rent a wreck and the freaking thing almost blew up the hottest day of the year (we only get one) and no air conditioning nothing it was a long van and all we had was the 2 front windows to cool us down in the back so I hope your party is better than ours. I wish you would have said something sooner I have a friend that is pretty good at cakes I could have had her do yours. For my boobs all you have to do it back a regular cake and use little muffin tins for my boobs and there ya have it. Hey that just might work!!!

Haa rent a wreck, did you guys end up having fun anyway? I've got a few calls out yet so hopefully I can get something cute put together. If not then a regular sheet cake with your average Happy Birthday on it. Or maybe I could go to showworld, I wonder if they would have anything to put on a cake?

Actually I am thinking...they do have jumbo tins right? I think the hardest thing would be making frosting flesh colored.

You can make flesh coloured frosting by using red in white frosting to make it pink, then add a LITTLE blue (and I mean a little!) and a LITTLE yellow. Just add the blue and yellow drop by drop until it is a tan shade.

Hello ladies, you guys are cracking me up and giving out some good dinner tips. Here is an old stand by for me. I eat a ton of salad and my kids, who are little, love this one, they especially like being my lemon squeezers!

2 lbs. Chicken cutlets (thin)
2 heads Romaine lettuce
2 Lemons
Olive Oil
Italian bread (stale or frozen works too)
GARLIC SALT (recommended LAWRY'S)
McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning
Cesar Salad Dressing (recommended Newman's Own Creamy Cesar)

Sprinkle both sides of chicken cutlets with Grill Mates (too taste) Grill chicken or if cooking indoors filet cutlets very thin and broil on both sides. Cut into bite size pieces.

Cube bread and coat with olive oil and garlic salt. Toast in the oven at 375 for about 15 minutes.

Cut up romaine and place in large salad bowl. Squeeze the juice of two lemons over the lettuce. Add warm chicken, toss with Cesar Salad dressing. Add Crotons and serve.

**Use more or less lemons/Cesar Dressing for your taste.**

U know what I bet ya show world does have something I wonder if they even have a boob cake pan they have EVERYTHING there. Definatly wouldnt hurt to give them a call. I totally forgot about that place. I am pretty sure that I have seen something there. Not that I frequent it often I have been to my share of "dirty" thirty parties. Yes we did have fun on my b-day but I think I lost 10 pounds in sweat!
