DH loves eggplant parmesan. Tonight we're having leftover minestrone soup.

Hoping to just have pizza or something, not really in the mood to shop and cook today!

That does sound good! I've never had eggplant before.

Chili. I have yet to meet a single person who doesn't love chili.

The kind I make is pretty tame but SO delicious. It's easy as hell too. All you need to do is cook a pound of beef and while that's on the stove you dice a red pepper, green pepper, and an onion. Once the beef is good to go you add a can or two of tomato soup (depending on how soupy you want it to be) and then add the veggies. Let this simmer for a few minutes and then throw it in a crock pot to cook for the rest of the day. Keep it on low heat though! If you get it too hot it will turn into soup. You can also add crushed red pepper or jalapenos to make it spicy or even buy one of those packages of McCormick chili flavoring. Or both.

This can all be ready in less than half an hour but the longer you let it cook the better.

Oh and while you're cooking the chili you can boil some potatoes and then mash them. Add a little milk and butter to the potatoes to make them super creamy. (Milk is KEY.) Don't use the instant potatoes or pre-made mashed potatoes... It takes no time at all to mash them yourself and it tastes so much better, especially with the skins.

As for veggies you can leave what's in the chili or add something to the side. Anything will do.

Chicken stuffed with homemade stuffing, that consistes of, dry bread, seaosings and some garlic, feta cheese,tomatoes,green onion and spinach.
Brushed with a balsamic vingrette and some light seosings on it.

Then some steamed broccoli with cheese sauce, a side of steamed carrots. A chefs salad, with spinach,tomatoes, sliced roast beef, (in pieces) feta cheese parm cheese, some cheddar cheese, red onions, shaved red cabbage and shaved carrots. some garlic crutons, and a varity of dressing (whichever each person wants on theirs. lol

I am thinking I will make spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner with garlic bread. I have been wanting to make it for awhile but always end up making something else haha.

It is very tasty. I need to do it more. Just slice it thin and salt it for a little while prior to breading it.

tonight we are having my hubby's favorite dinner: steak, eggs, hash browns, & toast!

That was me last night, took out hamburger for spaghetti ended up making homemade hamburgers instead, with noodles and steamed veggies in garlic sauce. lol

Thanks! I'll have to surprise DH and make it soon.
