Saturday Dinner 4/5
#11
  Re: (...)
Well, today is my 11th Wedding Anniversary. I am busy vacuuming and cleaning bathrooms and hubby is at work - oh well. I guess we need to get a life - or a babysitter!

I am making a nice dinner though. One of our favorites from C&H. What is everyone else up to?

My hubby and I celebrated our 11th anniversary this past December (12/28). Happy anniversary!! May you have many happy years ahead of you!

I haven't decided what to make for dinner tonight. I'm thinking Cottage Pie. We have some left over mashed potatoes from my MIL's dinner the other night.

Happy Anniversary Erin! I hope you have a lovely evening!

I wanted to make the Beef Wellington's, but I had decided to get the beef the day of making it. Then I remembered, I don't have a car! Oh well, another day. So it's now a toss up between the Thai Chicken Skewer wraps with Tomato and Feta Stuffed Peppers and Sirloin Steak with Borderlaise Sauce with Spinach Feta Orzo or mashers and a simple salad.

Just doing a risotto with mushrooms topped with a simple chicken breast and cheese. It is warm enough to open the windows today but it makes it feel cool so a nice hearty feeling dish will be good...

We are having my sister and her family over for a BBQ for my son's 9th b-day. We're having baby back ribs, homemade macaroni & cheese w/roasted tomatoes, cole slaw, fresh strawberries, cornbread w/honey butter.

Baskin Robbins ice cream cake for dessert - Gold Medal Ribbon and white cake.

Baked artichoke dip for an appetizer. Mmmmm!!

Happy Anniversary, Erin.

We're enjoying our first sunny, warm spring day here! Opened a few windows to let some fresh air in the house.

College boy is coming home for dinner tonight, so I'm making something I know he will like. He lives all of two miles from home, even so, we don't see him very often. I'm making Quick Choucroute Garnie. It's sauerkraut with various fresh and cured meats.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, Erin---may you have MANY more ('cept for the cuuming and bathroom detail---)

Dinner sounds wonderful---now how'd I miss another one!!! GEESH---

I just did a simple lonesome thang---an omelet with a salad and a piece of rye toast--hit the spot!! Peter will be home tomorrow night soooo I'm looking forward to some REAL food!!

Made my pie dough (apple pie) and a new cookie recipe that was sent along by Peter's sister---I have been searching for YEARS for this special recipe---don't know if is the correct one but will know once Peter has tasted it---then I can play a bit with it.
