What's for Dinner Thread??

OK, so since we got married we have been trying really hard to have dinner together... since we moved into our house it has been terrible, we havent been cooking and been eating more take out then i care to say... im wondering if anyone else ever finds themselves at a loss of ideas or recipes... so what if we start a Whats for dinner thread? and we post what we are eating for dinner, and if we ever need an idea we can just search this thread??? What do you girls think?? If you think it's stupid it wont hurt my feelings I promise!

I just bought this and really like it.

When I cook I tend to use recipes out of Cooking Light magazine.

Last night DH made grilled salmon over yellow rice.

Friday night DH grilled T-bone steaks and vegetables (red & green peppers, onions).

We received a grill for our wedding that you place over the burners - we use it all the time, great for apartment dwellers!

DH is very strict during the week! We mostly eat grilled chicken with veggies!

Tonight I am making a fresh turkey breast with string beans & carrots!!!

I heard great things about Rachel Ray's cookbooks!

I love this idea!! DH doesn't get home usually til 7 or 8 so its difficult to have dinner together sometimes.

but tonight we are having turkey burgers on whole wheat buns and grilled veggies (green&yellow squash and protabello mushrooms) drizzled with a balsamic reduction (this is super yummy, easy to make and can be used as a dressing w/out any oil)

last night was chicken cutlets at my parents house

OK DONT LAUGH.....

but i can't cook lol
and tonight im going to try lol
with the help of preshy

dh gets home at 7 and im going to TRY and make chicken cutlets. NOW I SAID DONT LAUGH LOL.
this will be my 1st time making a meal lol

i usually do pasta (with my moms sauce lol)
or stove top stuffing .pizza bagels(frozen) or take out lol
i never cooked a MEAL MEAL lol

so we will see what happens lol .


eta: i tried to cook cc once before
but it didnt work out lol
i used butter instead of oil
please dont think bad of me . this is just not my thing and i lived with my parents so my meals were cooked lol

Nicole - no one will think bad of you b/c you haven't cooked before. Like you, I never had a reason to cook for myself b/c I lived at home, and mom always took care of the 'big stuff' while I sat back and watched and helped.

While I have the 'ability' to cook, I seriously do not enjoy it like some people do.

I cook a full meal every other night, and I'm sure DH is getting sick of my 'options' of Cheeseburgers, Chicken Cutletts, Pasta w/Meat, and Stirfry!

last night we had pork tenderloin
egg noodles and greenbeans.

tonight leftovers i always make enought so dont have to cook every night.

Good luck tonight Nic!!! If you want to make it even easier, bread the chicken cutlets & place them in the oven at 350! Turn them once (15 minutes) & they are done within 30!!!
