Crockpot beef stew...even though it's going to be a high of 60 today! I have potatoes and carrots to use up and tonight is Violet's ballet class, so we don't get home until about 7:30 or so. I don't even want to THINK about dinner at that time, so it will be nice to have it made. Tuesdays now until June are designated crockpot suppers or dining out!

Bacon swiss burgers and broccoli. I have left over black beans and rice to go along with it.

I'm making "Texas Rice and Beans" for dinner. It's a recipe I got from my mom years ago. @Jonni - don't ya love the crockpot for nights like that? I've got some busy evenings this week and you've inspired me to make Beef Stew for one of them this week!

Tuesdays are tough for us, too. Church group for one child, while the other has to be picked up from wrestling practice at school (across town, same time as church group). 
Crockpot to the rescue!!  Beef stew sounds good! |

@Lisa, it was a no-brainer--now I'm on the hunt for more crockpot meals for Crockpot Tuesday!

Not sure about tonight--it's just me and the girly, so it will likely be something VERY simple. Last night, though, I made our favorite Jamie Oliver fish recipe for my father in law's birthday dinner: roasted white fish wrapped with proscuitto. It's seasoned with lemon zest, fresh chopped rosemary and black pepper, then wrapped with proscuitto and seared in the pan, finished in the oven for about 12 minutes. Serve with asparagus and a light lemon-pepper mayonnaise sauce, along with steamed new potatoes. Awesome, awesome.

Sorry, girls, did not change it to today's date until late. High winds caused the electricity to go out all morning, so I am late on everything I had to do today. Did not get to relax with my coffee and farmgirls this morning!
Due to the day, I had to get a pizza from our favorite little pizzeria.

Jonni,
That sounds so good! I just happen to have some Prosciutto and Meyer Lemons in the fridge :)
Tonight was:
Remains of the Day (What we like to call leftovers :))
Beef Pot Pie made from leftover Pot Roast :)

I'm looking forward to tonight's dinner. I'm making DH's favorite: Homemade beef stroganoff over mash potatoes with a big green salad and homemade dressing. (All organic). What's everyone else having this Saturday night?

Margo, your chicken tetrazini sounds divine. Tonight I had a meal in mind, but DD is down with a head cold, so I am making my Homemade Miracle Chicken Soup. I put lots of anti-viral herbs in it. I'll boil extra chicken and make some homemade chicken curry salad for sandwiches this week. It's a cold day here anyway. I think I will bake a loaf of homemade bread, too.
Farmgirl hugs,
Nicole

No idea, frankly; the Mister has an upset stomach, so I may just do pasta with tomatoes sauteed in basil.

Thanks Sharon! He has finally figured out what's triggering his recurring health problems--and that he has to make some major changes if he ever wants to feel healthy. He's ready--finally.

Last night I just threw a roast in the oven with some roasted potatoes and a salad. Tonight- stuffed peppers and mushrooms? (I can't eat the peppers.) Need to finish up some vegetables from the SuperBowl Sunday raw veggie tray!

Tonight I'm doing a family favorite - Chicken Broccoli Casserole (for the recipe, please see the Suburban Farmgirl blog for this week, I've posted it there). Also making a green salad with homemade lemon dressing.
