Tonight we went simple and did a scratch 3-cheese mac and cheese. A few weeks ago I made a mean Chicken Cutlet with Grape and Shallot Sauce. I don't have nearly enough time or energy to cook the way I'd like to on any sort of regular basis.

As for this week...

• Monday: Grilled burgers.
  
• Tuesday: Chicken and veggie stir fry.
  
• Wednesday: Poppyseed chicken.
  
• Thursday: Chicken marsala.
  
• Friday: Chili

I've always enjoyed cooking, I find it relaxing. People at work are always surprised to learn that I do probably 95% of the cooking. Recently my wife found out she's got a sensitivity to gluten (not a full blown allergy, though), which makes planning meals a little difficult, but it usually works where I just prepare two versions of a meal- one without gluten, one with.

Some other recent dishes have been, prime rib, grilled salmon, grilled BBQ chicken, chicken parmesan (Fuster can vouch for this dish), black been and beef burritos, and baked cavatilli.

One of these days I've got to get around to trying out a grilled BBQ shrimp recipe I found, it sounds like it'll be real good.

I was out late tonight so I had to make something quick. Chicken nuggets and mac'n'cheese.

[kate]

I made some delicious spaghetti tonight with lean ground turkey.

[krystal]

Is toasting a bagel considered cooking?

[linzi]

I just burnt some popcorn. Yes, it was on purpose.
The last thing I actually cooked was an egg sandwich...fried egg with cheese on toasted country white bread. Made the hubby a chicken salad sandwich. Huh, I make a lot of sandwiches.....

Trying to cover the smell of weed, eh?

[linzi]

peeking through my windows again!?

I've always burnt it...and I also "squirrel" my popcorn, I don't like the kernels getting stuck in my teeth. I just nibble, like maddog!

[hotzester]

Weed and popcorn. That would smell delicious!

[potthole]

During my junior year of college I lived in some on-campus apartments, and noticed that there was always the smell of burnt popcorn coming from the apartment across the hall. It came as little surprise when midway through the first semester one of the guys got arressed for possession.

[Allyson]

Mostly Mexican, pasta, chicken & veggies.

[Howie Feltersnatch]

sammiches...i've been eating pretty much the same sammich for the last month...being broke sucks

[Rock Monster]

That must be one big sammich!!!

[potthole]

That must be one big sammich!!!

Yeah, and you'd think the bread would be stale after nearly a month.

[Rock Monster]

He must have a REALLY big ziploc baggie!!

[Howie Feltersnatch]

look at the jokes on these guys :

[plungerhand]

I made some delicious spaghetti tonight with lean ground turkey.

that just ain't right. Chicken in spaghetti is also WRONG! must be ground beef and/or Italian sausage. The same goes for lasagna...

[-Jiggy-]

I'm cooking Subway tonight. It's my specialty.

[whatwouldzappasay]

I'd be interested in seeing that Poppyseed chicken recipe. I love poppyseeds.

Last home cooked meal was made Saturday, homemade sketti and meatballs.

Just don't plan on taking a drug test anytime soon after eating the poppyseeds. I knew a woman that once tested positive for opiates from eating poppyseed muffins. ???

[whatwouldzappasay]

Yeah, I hear that's the case with Poppyseeds. Only been drug tested once. That was a long three months.

[hotzester]

I heard that Queenie once tested positive for something after eating brownies.

I'd be interested in seeing that Poppyseed chicken recipe. I love poppyseeds.

Last home cooked meal was made Saturday, homemade sketti and meatballs.

Here's my recipe:

• Baked chicken (don't really pay attention to how much, just enough to give a layer of chicken within an 8" x 8" casserole)
  
• 1 cup sour cream
  
• 1 sleeve Ritz crackers
  
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
  
• 1 stick butter
  
• 1 tablespoon poppyseeds

You'll cook the chicken, and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Put the chicken pieces into a casserole. In a bowl mix the sour cream and soup together. Once mixed, put into the casserole with the chicken. You'll want to sort of spread the mixture around, so that it mixes in and covers the chicken well. Crush up the Ritz crackers and put them into a bowl. Add the poppyseeds. Melt the stick of butter, and pour it in with the cracker/seeds. Mix this all up. Cover the soup/chicken mixture with the crackers, spreading the crackers out to cover it all. Bake for 30 minutes at 350.

With these measurements an 8" x 8" casserole is the perfect size, and we get about 4 or 5 servings. I'm sure it's pretty easy to adjust the measurements based on the number of people you're making this for.

[linzi]

I've got a good chicken recipe that's pretty easy.

you can adjust to feed as many as needed.

boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Philly cream cheese
croissant rolls
cream of mushroom soup

cook the chicken and break into bite size pieces.
mix in as much cream cheese as you want...I like alot...season with salt and pepper.
unfold the rolls and put a dollop at the top and roll it up, fold in the sides and roll like a regular croissant roll.
put in a casserole dish with a little melted butter and bake according to the directions on the rolls....untill the rolls are done.
top with a little cream of mushroom soup, add your veggies and that's it. pretty simple.

[Queenie]

I heard that Queenie once tested positive for something after eating brownies.

You promised me that was just between me and you . . . ???

[hotzester]

You promised me that was just between me and you . . .

No, that was the other thing. The brownies were fair game.

[Queenie]

No, that was the other thing. The brownies were fair game.

DAMMIT! Ok, i'm glad you cleared that up because I just about to give away your little secret about what happened in the bathroom at work . . .

[hotzester]

What's so secretive about it? I wrote it off on my taxes.
