Tuesday's Dinner, 8/2/16?? - cjs - 08-02-2016 What's on the menu for today?? We're hosting our Motley Crew group tonight with a Mexican Fiesta - should be fun. Wanted to have it outside, but showers are predicted, so don't know............ Re: Tuesday's Dinner, 8/2/16?? - losblanos1 - 08-02-2016 A Mexican fiesta here also, Old School Tacos or the Mexican Lasagna review dinner. Re: Tuesday's Dinner, 8/2/16?? - Mare749 - 08-02-2016 I went to the meat store today and they had some gorgeous rib-eyes. So, I got a nice thick cut for the grill. Ron is going to be happy-happy. Will also grill some red bliss potatoes and some asparagus to go with. Re: Tuesday's Dinner, 8/2/16?? - cjs - 08-02-2016 we'll raise our glasses of Margarita Punch to you Blane and C.A. Re: Tuesday's Dinner, 8/2/16?? - karyn - 08-02-2016 Enjoy the Mexican fiestas, Jean and Blane! I've got the review dinner planned for later this week. We're having one of my favorite Thai-inspired pizzas tonight with chicken, cilantro, caramelized onions, etc. Re: Tuesday's Dinner, 8/2/16?? - Gourmet_Mom - 08-02-2016 Totally forgot dinner! I FINALLY pushed myself to cook this dinner! I have been wanting to make the Pecan Crusted Chicken Salad, and I finally pulled it off tonight. While I was at it, I had prepped the glaze for the Grilled Citrus Skewer Sauce, (I made it with chicken breast cutlets instead of skewered wings), so I cooked them off while finishing the chicken for tonight on the grill instead of the oven. I also grilled off some more lightly seasoned breasts to have with a Basil Pesto Chicken Pasta Salad. I froze the ones for the pesto dish for later. Blessedly, we came home to a cooler house than usual today. It wasn't nearly as hot today, so the AC was able to keep up. That was just the encouragement I needed to finally pull this off. Three meals prepped at one time feels pretty good! WHEW! Re: Tuesday's Dinner, 8/2/16?? - Mare749 - 08-03-2016 Hey Daphne, how is the re-organization of the office going? Miss you! Re: Tuesday's Dinner, 8/2/16?? - cjs - 08-03-2016 Good for you, Daphne!! Thai pizza - ohhh, haven't had for the longest time. Re: Tuesday's Dinner, 8/2/16?? - Mare749 - 08-03-2016 Don't think I've ever made one. Along with the ingredients mentioned by Karyn, is there any type of sauce or dressing on it?
