Dinner Dilemmas

I have officially tired of chicken. This has lead me to find new dinner ideas - and even go back to some old staples. I made hommade pizza for dinner. This was about the only thing my step mom ever made for dinner that was tasty. I never tire of it. Its got so much meaty and veggie goodness on it. I just don't eat the crust. The pizza is about an inch thick - just piled high with lean meats and veggies and some cheese. My hubby loves it and he eats the crust too - I make it at home and he loves it :) works out great :)

 

Our other thing is Applebees or Ruby Tuesday. Applebees has great steaks I usually get the garlic sirloin with broccoli and sauteed mushrooms and onions. The whole meal is about 500 calories and its about 3-4 meals for me. Yesterday we ordered and the hubby went to go get - they screwed up on our meals so they replaced them, so now we have tons of leftovers in the fridge. One thing I never get tired of is red meat - and considering I get anemic so easily, I'm not going to complain about all that yummy goodness in the fridge :)

 

I cannot wait til hunting season. I will be filling my freezer with elk and mule deer. Hopefully, we'll have a chance at a bison as well. If I never have to eat meat from a store again, I'll be happy :)

 

I do have a confession though - I'm not a big infomercial person, but I did buy a nu-wave oven. I thought it would be good for the hubby when he was travelling in hotel rooms to be able to cook something quickly, etc. Well - I LOVE the damn thing. You can do anything in it! If you warm something up - like takeout or whatever, it tastes EXACTLY like it did when you first got it. I'm in love with the thing. Oh- and you can also cook frozen meat in it and its delicious. I think that's my favorite - forgetting to pull something out for dinner and resorting to pizza or fast food is no longer an excuse - pop in a frozen steak or something and its good to go :)

I have made homemade pizza with a califlower crust. It is delish! Everyone in the family loved it, even those who don't like veggies.

yeah I've made "crusts" out of cauliflower - Hubby just wanted regular old fashioned - and it doesn't bother me to make it and not eat it. I usually left the crust anyway, even before.

You sound like a red meat eater and that's cool, lots of protein in there. Might I suggest for new diner ideas fish. I put salmon in the oven, its quick its awesome and there are many varieties of fish so you wont get bored. Sometimes even a quick fry with small amount of olive oil for a talapia or whiting is soo soo good. I suggest tuna steak and salmon for the meat lovers becuase its a more stabstantial piece of fish.
