Ok moms- I REALLY want a good recipe :) What's for dinner tonight?

Question

The weekend is coming up so I like to try new recipes! Anyone have some they would like the share? Lastnight we just ordered pizza and Brayden made a mess :) He loved it though. I think tonight we are having stir fry in a bag LOL. Lazy night again. Its been raining allllll day so no one feels like doing anything.

What's for dinner tonight moms?

Baby question-Does your LO go straight to the bath after he/she eats dinner? Brayden does!

Answer 1

We are having bratwursts with cheese in them. I sent you the Pesto Pasta recipe.. that was really good!



Baby question - No. She is such a girly girl so she tries her hardest not to make a mess. If she gets anything on her hand she will hold it up and whine until I wipe it off. Then I just wipe her face with a wipe when she's done eating.

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

Ok, its breakfast really, But, I made it for dinner, everyone loved it.



Got it from another yahoo user a few days ago.



Banana Blueberry Pancakes -

1 cup flour

2 teaspoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg

1/3 ripe banana

2 tablespoons oil

1/2 cup blueberrys



Mix all the dry ingredients, then add the wet ones, mash the bananas add then to the mixture, then mash the blueberrys and add them, and cook in frying pan.



Huge hit, I made a double recipe and my husband ate 8.. yes 8

I had 2, and my 10 month old had 1.5



That was two nights ago and tonight we are going to use the same recipe but use strawberries instead of blueberrys



Good luck!

Answer 4

We are having Famous Butter Chicken for dinner tonight. It's a family favorite.

4 skinless boneless chicken breasts

1 cup crushed buttery round crackers (I use whole wheat Ritz)

1/2 tsp garlic salt

2 eggs beaten

4 tablespoons stick butter, cut into pieces

In a shallow bowl beat 2 eggs. In another shallow bowl mix cracker crumbs, garlic salt, and pepper to taste. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg than dredge through seasoned cracker crumbs to coat. Arrange coated chicken in 9x13 baking dish. Place butter pieces all around chicken. Bake at 375 for 40-50 minutes until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink or use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.

This is quite tasty and very moist. We like to also cut the chicken breasts into small pieces so they are like chicken nuggets. They only need to cook about 30 minutes when cut smaller. I've made this for a large number of people before and I plan for about 12 crackers for each chicken breast plus 1-2 tablespoons of butter per breast. I never have leftovers and many people ask for the recipe.

None of my 4 kids are babies any longer, but when they were, bath time after meals depended on how messy they were. Usually, though, bath time was about an hour before bed and sometimes that fell just after dinner anyway.

Answer 5

This is my favorite recipe lately. We've made it several times the last few months and it is soooo easy and sooooo yummy. All my kids like it (6yr old & 2yr old twins). There's hardly ever any leftovers.



Classic Chicken Pot Pie

http://www.pillsbury.com/Recipes/ShowRecipe.aspx?rid=12462



Couple tips:

--I buy the trimmed and ready chicken breasts and boil them for about 15 minutes with just a pinch of salt in water. While they're boiling, I chop the onion, etc.

--For the veggies, I buy Birds Eye Freshlike Vegetables for Soup. It has the perfect veggies for pot pie.

--Make sure you let pie crust come to room temp before 'building" the pie. When it's fresh from the fridge, it can break easier. Once it's room temp, it's more pliable. I just take it out of the box and let it sit rolled up while I'm preparing everything else.



Anyway.. it's a great recipe and again, very easy!!

Answer 6

I don't know what to cook for dinner. You made me think about it though I need to get on it soon lol.



I just don't want to go to the store it's raining so it will have to be something I have here.



I don't use recipes when I cook so I couldn't help you there lol. I pretty much cook by taste.



My son usually doesn't make a big mess when eating, but when he does I do take him straight to the bath.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Cameron can't eat this because of his allergies but my fiance and I tried it last night, simple easy and good!



Boil ziti or whichever kind of pasta you choose.



In a medium saucepan, medium heat

-one ten ounce container of cream of chicken soup

-1 1/2 a cup of milk

-parsley flakes

-1 1/3 cup motz cheese

-1/2 cup grated parm cheese

stir until thick (takes less than 10 mins, really all it needs to be is thick and warm)



broil some chicken and cut it into chunks, not marinated in anything.



4 mins before the pasta is cooked, dump frozen broccoli cuts into the pot





When the pasta/broccoli are done, drain, mix in the chicken and portion onto plates. Then pour the sauce over the top and mix it in! I also added a bit of garlic salt or powder to the top of the mix! It turned out pretty good and is less than 15 mins to make!





ETA: For tonight, no idea what we're having! Cam is probably having his usual chicken/veggies!

Answer 9

My fav is cheesy salsa chicken



-place one pound chicken breasts into 9x13 baking dish, sprinkle taco seasoning on chicken bake at 350 for one hour

- place 1/2 jar (or more if you like) salsa into micro safe dish and heat for about a min if salsa was at room temp then mix 1/4 cup cheese sauce with salsa

Answer 10

my kids favorite - chicken nugget casserole.



layer chicken nuggets over the bottom of a casserole dish (doesn't matter size)



sprinkle enough parmesan cheese over nuggets to coat



sprinkle a little bit of italian seasoning over the cheese



pour spaghetti sauce over this - enough to cover it



top with a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese



bake at 375 degrees, uncovered for 30 minutes.



Make a side of spaghetti noodles - or whatever noodles you like and have the casserole over the spaghetti.



Kids love it and it tastes like chicken parmesan for the adults. Easy clean up too and only 30 minutes. Serve with a salad (if your kids will eat it)



We do bath time about 45 minutes before bedtime so they are nice and sleepy.

Answer 11

We're mixing it up tonight and having breakfast for dinner. We're having gravy and biscuits, with eggs, and sausage patties.



My son doesn't get baths every night because it dries his skin out. On the night he does get a bath, he goes directly from the high chair to the bath tub.

Answer 12

We eat takeout on Thursdays, so tonight is Guthrie's chicken.



Sometimes my son has to go straight to the bath after dinner, it depends on how big of a mess he made.

Answer 13

Hello :)



Im making Pork Chops with diced potatoes baked with bacon and garlic and onions and mushrooms... and mixed veggies..

The potato's are sooo yummy.. what I do is i chop potatoes into small little cubes and microwave them for about 10 min so they are soft, meanwhile I have bacon cooking once the potatoes are done you put them into a baking pan with the bacon and mushrooms and garlic and onions and add a few table spoons of butter and than throw it into the oven and cook for about 35 min and they are soooooo yummy!!



I usually bath my little ones before bed, Madisyn is almost 5 months so she dont feed herself yet and my son is 6 so he gets a shower before bed.



I always look forward to your dinner question.. haha

Answer 14

Its baked chicken, stuffed with velveeta cheese (optional)



1 pkg boneless, skinless chicken breast halves feed me, hubby, and two 4 year olds

This tastes amazing and is simple to make! The extra sauce makes a great gravy for mashed potatoes...throw in some corn and its a great meal!





baby question...depends on how messy the dinner is! They are normally pretty clean...unless its spaghetti lol

Answer 15

I couldn't tell you hon, tonight my husband and I are going to his cousins rehersal dinner, so we're eating buffet style at a nice hotel :)



If Caitlin gets really messy then yes she goes right into the tub. Otherwise, I usually wait another hour or so. We always do bathtime before bed, it's a relaxing routine for her.

Answer 16

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff from Allrecipes!



Took me all of 60 seconds to throw in the crock pot and stir. Absolutely delicious too! Hubby doesn't have to know how lazy I was ;)



It's basically stew beef and a can of golden mushroom soup, with a tad of cream cheese thrown in at the end.



http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Beef-Stroganoff-I/Detail.aspx?prop31=1



Bathtime is whenever somebody has a shower- we just bring her in with us, soap her up, and hand her out to the spouse with a towel! lol. She LOVES the shower- she giggled for the first time and belly laughed for the first time in there.

Answer 17

Tonight is pasta salad with tofu nuggets.



Pasta salad:



1 (16 oz) bag of tri-colored pasta

1 small bag of frozen cheese tortellini

1 cup feta cheese

2 small (tuna fish sized) cans of organic chicken.

1 small can of sliced black olives

1 cup green beans

1 cup wax beans

2 cups broccoli

1 onion

1/2 cup sun dried tomato vinaigrette



Boil pasta according to package directions. Steam vegies (I have a vegie steamer and just throw the beans and broccoli in together) Chop onions finely. Throw everything in a bowl and stir.



Tofu nuggets:



1/2 block of firm tofu

1 egg

1 cup flour

1 cup Italian spiced bread crumbs

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese



Cut tofu into nuggets or fingers, whichever you prefer. I put out 3 separate containers, one with flour, one with egg (beaten) and one with the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese combined. Then I take the tofu, roll it in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs, and then onto a cookie sheet. Once they are all done, I put them in the fridge to set for about 20 minutes, then take them out and spray a little olive oil over them all. Then, bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.



The tofu nuggets are one of my daughter's favorites. We give her some hummus to dip them in as well.



She sometimes goes directly in the bath after dinner, but it really depends on how messy she is. If it would be easier to just hose her off than wipe her down, she gets a bath =P Otherwise, we usually let her play outside after dinner for about 30 minutes and get as dirty as she wants and then bring her in for bath time.

Answer 18

grilled tilapia with lemon and capers over rice. I don't know the recipe, my boyfriend works with seafood and knows how to cook all of that -- I'll give it to you after though! or tomorrow for your dinner question, lol.



I sponge the babe down after he eats. he hates baths :( he's not too messy of an eater either, but we have only begun dabbling into solids. I'm sure that will change... ;)

Answer 19

meatloaf with mac & cheese and salad



another good one, but maybe not for babies, is taco salad. I love that one in the summer.



We play for about 15 to 20 minutes after eating before putting him in the bath.

Answer 20

I use a slow cooker for almost everything, you can cook the chicken in there to use in receipies later that night, pot roast, meatloaf, chicken fajitas, chicken burritos, chicken broccoli and rice... dont know what i would do without a slow cooker lol

Answer 21

We used to have macaroni and cheese with hot dogs cut up in it. But if you check out www.foodnetwork.com they could help you with kids friendly recipes. Some could only take about a half-hour to make.

Answer 22

Dinner tonight is marinated poussins (little baby chickens). (Marinated in lemon juice and herbs). Plus probably new potatoes and some sort of veg.

Answer 23
