Ideas for dinner tonight

Corn chips covered in faux taco "meat" (I'm in the process of returning to vegetarianism), topped with "queso" (processed cheese melted with canned Ro-Tel tomatoes) and spiced up with a few pickled jalapeno slices. It was much better than it sounds and went well with beer and football.

Fresh picked from my garden... not the turkey haha

Cabbage,bell peppers ,onions , roma tomatos
celantro ,seranno peppers (dried and crushed).

layered from bottom up...
Cabbage shreds,
cooked Ground turkey
(mixed in onions/bell peppers when meat half cooked),
home made tomato sauce,
pepper flakes,
cabbage shreds,
and a lil' more tomato sauce.

In the oven for 45 min. @ 350'
Ahhh yummy and waaaaaaaarrmmm.

Try this character-building recipe: Go to bed without eating. I do it once in awhile when I'm really, really tired (stayed up too late on DP!) so I can't claim it was strength of character in my case. I do know that it will not hurt you and may be better for your health. Do you know that they don't feed many zoo animals one day out of the week? It keeps them more active and interested in life.

Just think, there are people all over the world who go to bed without eating. Some haven't eaten all day. You don't want to be one of the many who panic because they miss a few meals when TSHTF. I mean it's perfectly OK to miss a meal for most people. You don't need to feel sorry for yourself or feel deprived. Just have the attitude that it's OK and you'll be fine with it. Try it, you'll see.

I love Peking ravioli, so anything dumpling-like is yummy! I bought some ground chicken, a package of prepared wonton wrappers (from the refrigerated veggies cooler) and assembled about 40 small dumplings, spiced with cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, and s&p. I also had a bag of frozen raw, tail-on shrimp (31-40 size) I sauteed some of the shrimp with the same seasonings, and pan-fried/woked/steamed the dumplings (they literally took three minutes to cook) and had made a sauce from a can of diced tomatoes and a can of plain tomato sauce, a few minced garlic cloves, half an onion, and the same seasonings again. The wonton wrappers acted as the pasta for chicken dumplings and shrimp in red sauce! Yum!

Bust open a can of Chile or Chicken Noodle Soup.

deserve this thread despite what others say.
A salad with some Italian dressing sounds great.

And I did also happen to feed the birds wintering in Montana today.

ground turkey, onion, garlic, celery, carrots, cabbage, green beans
1 can each tomatoes, tomato sauce, red kidney beans, water
Italian seasonings
½ cup any small pasta

What should I have for dinner ?

Cook up some Peking duck ( I guess it might be called Beijing duck these days ... LOL ), stuffed with truffles and portobello mushrooms !

Oh ... and some green beans on the side !

That should keep you busy for a while !

and ham soup, salad cornbread and pecan pie.
