Randomguy Posted May 11, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 11, 2021 It wouldn't be just for me, though. I make one of a few basics when the gf is over, the rotation is homemade pizza and some meat and some vegetable with bread. What else can I do that is different and easy?

Dirtyhip Posted May 11, 2021 Share #3 Posted May 11, 2021 One of my easy go to meals is polenta cooked in broth topped with some parm and mushrooms or bbq chicken sausage. Large side veg. I can do this in 30 minutes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted May 11, 2021 Share #4 Posted May 11, 2021 Make a salad in large serving bowls. Make two small servings of chicken Or beef nachos and when the cheese is all melty , slide the nachos onto the salad. It was good for lunch yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a moment of weakness yesterday, my wife and I went to the drive-thru Weinerschnitzel We got three hot dogs (chili, kraut, and "Chicago") and went to the beach and ate them on our beach towel (with our pup laying between us). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been to one of those in about 15 years--since my dad passed. It was one of his favorites. There's one just off the bike path. I should ride there and have on in his honor. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use some panko crumbs and egg wash to pan fry a couple thin chicken breasts. Use EVOO. Set them aside. In the EVOO and chicken juice fry up a pound of bacon. Set aside. Dump some of the bacon juice out. Put in some fresh garlic to cook for a minute in the bacon juice. Pour in some heavy cream. Like 3 cups or maybe more. Keep it on a med heat. Let the EVOO and bacon juice get all mixed up with each other like they practicing angry and intense scissoring. Keep stirring and mix in some fresh parm cheese. Keep stirring. If you're impatient like me you can mix some mozz cheese in there as well. Let it thicken. Crumble the bacon and put the bits in your sauce. Now you have the choice to pour sauce over the chicken, or do what I do (the right way) and cube up the chicken and add it to the sauce. Serve over penne noodles with some bread and wine. A nice wine. Maybe one of those high end Bota Box wines instead of Franzia. My kids love this dish. The first time I cooked it they were like "no way" and I made them try it. Now they ask for it all of the time. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been joking with her for weeks about going there - every time we passed one I would be like "Oh! A Weinerschnitzel!!!!", and she would roll her eyes. She called my bluff yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grill chiken then can eat alone, or in salad or with rice. I sauce up the rice with Sweet Chile sauce. In the salad I add croutons, bacon crumbles (Costco) & cheese. Or go to Trader Joes.

Sure, he's great at eating them. And sure, he really enjoys eating them. But, come on, he can't live on them only NOR can he expect his GF to share his love of eating bananas. She might really rather eat a peach or the like. Different strokes, different folks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heated that in the microwave. Topped off some tortilla chips, added the filling then some shredded cheese. Baked at 450 for 5 minutes. Served over bowls of romaine with diced green peppers, tomatoes, and cukes. Slid the hot nachos on top. Nacho ordinary salad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
