Did you know that tomorrow is Random Acts of Kindness Day??? Love that.
I've decided that to make up for my some what sarcastic (but honest) post yesterday I will have a giveway to celebrate. All you have to do is one random act of kindness for me. Leave me a comment telling me what you cooked for dinner tonight or what you are cooking for dinner tomorrow night. I'm not kidding. I'm running out of ideas over here and I'm seriously tired of making the same thing over and over. So tell me what your making and tomorrow (late night) I will pick a random number and the winner will be chosen. If you want to double your chances just link this giveaway on your own blog and leave a second comment telling me about it.
The winner will receive a personalized Memo Holder. They are brand new and super cool!

I like that Nana note holder but I bet I'm not the Nana it goes too am I? I am having Grandma's red roast tonight!
ReplyDeleteon, you will be disappointed in my comment. I cooked grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner because I am out of food. I even used the last three slices of cheese on them! Don't know yet about tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteWe cooked the quick and easy soft tacos tonight! They sure were yummy with all the goods that go with them!!!
ReplyDeleteWe went out to eat tonight and I have a meeting at church tomorrow night, so it will be "quick food" then. But, my hubby cooked delicious Chicken Picatta on Saturday night and I will probably eat the leftovers tomorrow at lunch. :-)
ReplyDeletei think tomorrow night we are going to have quesadillas (cheese and chicken) and Homemade Gourmet's Maria's Salsa and some quac. Quick and easy (i steam the chicken in one of those microave steamer bags with seasoning). {tonight we had leftovers -- boring!) And i think this post was a great idea - i frequently run out of ideas for dinner!
ReplyDeleteWe are going to have "homemade" pizzas tomorrow night. I will buy crusts, then put out a bunch of toppings and the kiddos can make their own pizzas. I find that if I do this, they are more likely to eat dinner:) Tonight was carry out!
ReplyDeleteWe had yummy grilled chicken with grilled new potatoes, corn on the cob, and rolls. Who knows what is for dinner tomorrow. I always wished I could be a meal planner and plan out meals for the week, but we just play it day by day. :)
ReplyDeleteTonight was BBQ Chicken in the crockpot, sweet potatoes, Annies organic white cheddar shells (kids weren't NEAR as excited as they are when it's mac from the blue box), steamed broccoli and salad.
ReplyDeletep.s. Got a new crockpot and wanted to try it out...it practically fried my chicken! When it says "low" it actually means FIRE HOT!
The hubby smoked some chicken breasts and I made the sides - (local) collard greens with carmelized onions and dried cherries, and sweet potatoes with whipped cinnamon honey. After the kids go to bed, we will be finishing the batch of Ina Garten's "outrageous brownies" with ice cream and chocolate sauce. Karen - look up this brownie recipe and put the baker to work!
ReplyDeleteI made chicken nuggets and mac & cheese for the kids and a glass of wine for mom. Does that count? Hubby had a business dinner.
ReplyDeleteI made a new recipe from the Food Network. It was Mustard Crusted Pork Tenderloin. I made a sweet/mustardy sauce that had fresh apples, pears and dried cherries. It was good. Pork Tenderloin is not too expensive and if you use Daddy Hinkle's it is EASY. PS. I want that note holder!!
ReplyDeleteI going to cook lasagne! It is my mother-in-law's special recipe and my husband loves it!!
ReplyDeleteI know there is no possible way that I could win two paperdoll giveaways in a row, but it never hurts to try, right?!
ReplyDeleteTonight we had crock pot bbq brisket. Put it in at noon and we were good to go by six! I am all about the art of crockery. It simplifies my life!
Tomorrow night we are having "Brinner," breakfast for dinner. This is my husband's favorite meal and it is his Birthday so I thought I'd treat him what he likes! We have biscuits, bacon, and scrambled eggs. It's fairly cheap and... Emma loves it too. :)
ReplyDeleteTonight we had roast, mashed potatoes & gravy, corn, mac & cheese & hot rolls. Tomorrow we have basketball games, so it will probably be fast food. :(
ReplyDeleteTonight we had Sunday chicken (I know it's Monday!) cooked in the crock pot. Sides of brown rice and green veggies. Tomorrow is breakfast casserole with fruit. I dont really follow directions and serve the right dish at the "right time!"
ReplyDeleteTonight we had one of those roast chickens from the deli at the grocery store, spinach, raspberry salad, and rolls. Don't know about tomorrow night yet!
ReplyDeleteI loved the valentine lollipops, they were too cute..
ReplyDeleteWe had chicken spaghetti tonight and tomorrow Hamburgers
This is so perfect because I just made my dinner list from a cookbook recipe- which I never do! But we will be having Basil Cream Chicken from the League cookbook, Oil and Vinegar. It should be far better than tonight's Papa John's- after 3 days home with the kids you do not get homemade around here!

We had smoked chicken breasts, twice baked potatoes and roasted asparagus at my parent's house tonight! Thank the Lord! And I was thinking of doing Mexican Lasagna tomorrow night, muy delicioso!
ReplyDeleteHey girlfriend...I linked you up to my blog, so the whole 3 people that read it should be checking you out, if they haven't already that is!
ReplyDeleteHere is an easy dinner I'm going to make for dinner. Cook your favorite pasta. We like penne or bowtie. Then I add a mix of a marinara sauce and a while sauce. Our favorite mix is Bertolli's Organic Olive Oil, Basil & Garlic with Clasico's Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo. You can add some sauteed vegetables if you would like. We often eat it just pasta and sauce. You can also serve garlic bread and a salad with it. I hate to cook, but I never mind making this. Hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog...what fun items---smencils???!!!
ReplyDeleteI try to cook a bunch and freeze it on my days off...here what is on the upcoming menus:
upside down pizza casserole,
cream of broccoli soup,
seven layer salad--with BBQ chicken,
cream of potatoe soup,
a simple to go version of beef stroganoff,
zucchini bread,
...we will see what else comes our way...hope you get some good feedback, I always love new ideas!

Perfect! Dinner was Mazzio's Carry-out Special, $6.99 large one topping pizza! Can't really beat this for a family of 4, it's a usually on Monday night at this house! And for a second chance, check out our blog (this was perfect for us too b/c I wasn't sure what to post about)! Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day! xoxo, Lori :)
ReplyDeletep.s. if B posts too I'll just have to post again on our blog! :)
Last night we had roast which cooked in the crockpot all day. When I came home from work all I had to do was prepare the potatoes and carrots. Pretty easy! Tonight we are having smothered chicken. That is one of our favorites. We will have steamed veggies and a cresent roll with it.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a sweetie!!! Big cyber hugs to you ... pick me, pick me, pick me!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSILLY ME!!!!!! My hubby is allergic to wheat so we are limited ... BUT .. we usually have a meat on the lean mean grill ... like today we will have TURKEY BURGERS .. no buns of course .. They are divine!!!! Then there is in the veggie section the steam bags of veggies ... Maddie loves the cut green beans or we might have Jolly Green Giant little corns that come in like a pack of 12 in the freezer section. I might also throw in some lima beans .. she thinks they are better beans like we have in the summer.:)
ReplyDeleteOK >>>>>> I linked you up .. hope some of my locals gals will hook you up with some good ol' Carolina cooking!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to find a good green chile or chile colorado recipe, which may not be up to the kids' liking, but Cas and I did have shredded BBQ chicken seved over biscuits the other night. It is sort of a quick fix and comfort food (biscuits) all at the same time. - Sabrena
ReplyDeleteWe do the Monday night Mazzio's special too because the girls have dance that night and we don't get home until late! But, I'll tell you what I made Sunday night-sausage manicotti. I make it the night before so I don't have to cook the shells and they soften and are perfect the next night!
ReplyDeleteTonight we are going to have salmon, rice pilaf and a side of superfood. Jack will eat broccoli and Claire will eat strawberries. Mom and Dad will have baked sweet potatoes. Healthy and easy and all under 30 minutes.
ReplyDeleteHollie
I had reheated baked potato soup last night and tonight we will either have spaghetti for a school PTA fundraiser or pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes, broccoli and cheesy rice and a vegetable.
ReplyDeleteYou are linked! :)
ReplyDeletechinese stir fry. it usually takes me about 45 minutes to cook this. and it's my very own recipe.
ReplyDelete-1 pkg of stir fry beef
-1 pkg of beef broc, powder mix from the chinese section of the grocery store. (yellow and black package like gravy comes in)
-1 bag of mixed veggies (i like the one that has the snow peas)
-1 can baby corn (if you want extra)
-1 can chopped water chesnuts (if you want extra)
-1 tbs olive oil
-1 bottle of house tsang stir fry sauce
-1 box instant rice
cook beef in 1 tbs of olive oil and drain. pour in bag or however much veggies you like, cover and let steam. *add the baby corn and chesnuts here if you want extra of those*
while that is steaming, measure out the amount of water for the rice and boil/make as directions say.
in seperate bowl with a wisk mix the beef and broc powder with the 2/3 cups of water (i think that is what it says on the package) *don't follow the package directions, ONLY the water part*
when the beef and veggies are done and all are warm, pour in the beef and broc mix and stir til well coated. let that thicken for about 2 minutes and add the house of tsnag sauce until it makes extra juice. (just about half the bottle). cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
take the cooked rice and put desired amount on plate/bowl with salt and pepper to taste and then pour over the stir fry mix (with the juice if you like to soak your rice).
and enjoy.
I'm making Philly cheese steak subs for dinner. Thanks
ReplyDeleteYou have your very own post on my blog!!
ReplyDeleteOk, so I am very jealous of all the hubbies out there that can cook!!!! Even though I love to cook-it sure would be nice sometimes! However, mine is good at cleaning up the mess-my least favorite part!! We had 3-way last night with my homemade chili and tonight we are having my homemade lasagna, french bread & broccoli and pears. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are having Dole Southwest Salad Mix (SO GOOD!) with grilled chicken and fruit. This has become a once a week favorite. Tomorrow it will be Salmon from Sams (pre-seasoned) with asparagus and maybe some rice.
ReplyDeleteConsider yourself linked!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are having homemade chicken noodle soup :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I'm not the cook in our house, but my husband did cook a rosemary chicken with rice. It was quite tasty.
ReplyDelete:) Jaclyn
Love the note holder. so cute! What's for dinner eh? Thats the endless question here in my house. It was actually take out tonight but I have a great slow cooker lasgna recipe thats is easy and effortless and feeds a herd.
ReplyDeleteI cooked Frito chili pie wraps for me and my honey. I'm just not he most creative cook but I they were yummy....Lyndsi
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!!! I am not much of a cook, but I would love to win the prize, so here goes. Last night was dance, so we thought Arby's. Today, I actually remembered to thaw out some chicken. I just marinated it in herb and garlic marinade all day and grilled it on the George Foreman. We had cheese green beans and biscuits for sides. Tomorrow is going to be busy, so it will be loaded baked potatoes. I bake them, then everyone tops their own. And really, who didn't love "baked potato bar" day way back when? ;)
ReplyDeleteI made broccoli and cheddar soup in bread bowls.
ReplyDeleteLast night we had crockpot ham cooked/glazed in brown sugar, grean beans seasoned with butter & garlic (in another crockpot) and salad with homemade ranch dressing. It was fabulous! Tonight we just had leftovers because we got home late. Tomorrow's meal looks like it's going to be either chicken noodle and vegetable soup (also in the crockpot) or spaghetti with grilled chicken :) I just recently found out about you and after checking out your site I think I'm going to have to place some Mother's Day orders :)
