What's cookin'?
cheeky you, starting a rival food topic (jk).... Another vegetarian - awesome! *fist bump for Adele*
Don't know about dinner, but planning to bake some Gluten-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins though.
Mod
Oooooh, I love those kind of muffins!!
I am also a vegetarian or actually a pescetarian (never heard of that word before though :P), I occasionaly eat seafood, like 5 times a year or so. And just like Adele I never ate much meat, when I was a child I usually ate half of my meat and gave the rest to my sister or mom. I actually can't remember how long I've been a vegetarian, I think for like 8-9 years already. I baked peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips today and they are delicious, already half of them are gone I think :P. And we had japanese curry as dinner, which my sister made. My sister usually cooks, it amazed me how she manages to come up with something to cook everyday.
Mod
YUMMY! Oooh I love curry so much!!

So, today calls for Warm Dandelion Greens with Roasted Garlic Dressing with some roasted sweet potatoes sprinkled with lemon juice and pepper.
Mod
You guys are way too creative :) I had chicken fajitas - nothing fancy!
My husband is from Guam and he cooks much more interesting food than I do. Tonight he's making kadon pica (sp?) It's this ridiculously yummy boiled chicken over rice.
Mod
Not fancy is sometimes the best, sounds good to me!
Mod
LOL wow he sounds skilled in the kitchen :)
Not gourmet at all; I am hands down the most boring cook ever. I know a few dishes and stick with those. Having a spot of breakfast at work, just a simple granola, yogurt, and a berry mix.
Mod
LOL ;) I like the smell of vanilla hazelnut coffee in the morning, but I can't drink it :)

Mod
I've got to figure out what to make myself for lunch!
Mod
Chips and salsa it is then! lol
Mod
Mod
Making good old fashioned spaghetti with garlic bread for dinner! We've been so boring lately...
Mod
Jenny, I know how you feel! We've been consistently getting over 100 degrees this week, ugh! And it's not about to cool down anytime soon. I had jumbalaya for lunch which I haven't had in forever. I haven't thought through dinner yet tho! Probably nothing fancy though tonight. Maybe I'll make some speghetti or alfredo.
Mod
Jambalaya sounds amazing, I haven't had that in a long time!
I had a sad little veggie sandwich with Parmesan and oregano with some cold pomegranate-peach white tea for dinner.
@Leandra aw so cute! It seems everyone I know has little ones (sorry its spring again, so everyone is toting around the city with their little bundles of cuteness). I'm gonna sound ignorant (my apologies), but I didn't know babies could start eating 'adult' food until they were about 2. Thought they still drank milk and mushy baby stuff.
LOL - I have to admit though I am not a big fan of the red stuff either lol ;) (though I love the pasta bit)
I'll have to try that Leandra! It sounds amazing!
Mod
@Leandra Hahaha! Oi Ben and Jerry, looks like you have your next ice cream flavor of the month! All royalties deferred to Leandra!!
@Jenny interesting; think I was clueless due to the fact I'm not a mum lol ;) I'm pretty sure they probably do the same thing up here in Canada (gonna ask my friend whose a new mum just to get the facts straight - never know when that info might be handy)
Mod
The spaghetti and cheesy garlic bread was delicious! Its always a good stand by meal!
MARINARA FLAVORED ICE CREAM??? EWWWW!
I'm a vegetarian too! :) Tonight I will probably get a magically delicious salad from Cafe Rio with black beans, rice, salsa, lots of veggies and avocado.
Gotta love food!
Tonight I'm having my wife's WONDERFUL chicken curry with rice. Simple, but SOOOO yummy!
Not sure what's on the menu tonight for dinner BUT I know what I'm having for dessert. Found this new recipe idea and I think my kids are going to love it. I'll share:
Needed:
Cookie Dough (of your choice)
Cupcake/Muffin Pan
Ice Cream
Instructions:
Take cupcake pan, flip it over, and wrap cookie dough around the outside. Back cookie dough as instructed. Once finished, you have a cookie bowl to put your ice cream in.
Yum Yum
Holly goodness Brandy, that is awesome!!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Mod
Mmmmmm
We had Lebanese food tonight for a break from Moroccan ;)

Lol I like the way you think...dessert first ;)
I do something similar to that Brandy. I make cookie cupcakes so to speak and put the cookie dough in the little cupcake holder things in a cupcake pan, bake them, and then top with ice cream. Delicious!
Mod
Everyone else's food sounds so yummy!
Today for lunch I picked up Whoppers and fries from Burger King and delivered them to hubby's work and we had lunch together :)
Dinner is Canadian Bacon pizza this time!
We are under a boil ban for our water in our town--probably will be through the weekend. Its so annoying to cook anything when you either have to use bottled water, or boil the water first! So tonight I didn't want to deal with, hence the frozen pizza!
Nothing was cooking today. The boyfriend has been too busy to cook lately, so he took me out to dinner to a nice Italian restaurant. Pricey, but yummy!

Went out with some colleagues for after hours drinks, drank two glasses of sangria (FYI I'm a total light weight) and ended up staying there for dinner. The pizza was kind enough to absorb the effects of the sangria.
Another simple night...ravioli! And I may have to have a chocolate chip cookie in cupcake form with ice cream later! lol.

Tonight I made my homemade chicken and noodles with fresh bread. It was a good night for it, with the snowstorm we got today!

Okay, seriously I have to get to where you all are now (Arizona, Cali (I MISS the beach!!!). @Jenny seriously snow now? WoW, I am way far up north and we don't have snow? What is up with the weather lately? Completely happy the sun is out, but I could use a REAL beach!
@Tay the beaches not cutting it for ya anymore? If you prefer ice cold winters Canada should be just the place for ya' lol we have lovely brutal -20/-30 winters ;)
@Karen I want to visit Arizona so badly. Keep trying to get my parents to retire there because of the great weather.
I'll start...tonight Adele and I ate vegetarian cous cous and a spicy sausage sandwich (just I ate the sandwich as Adele is vegetarian) in a little hole-in-the-wall place in Morocco. It was delicious and only 50 dirham ($6 U.S.) :)
Who's next?
