Tuesday - what's for dinner at your house tonight??

I'm maxing oxtail,  Jamaican style.  Will serve with rice,  and I have some butternut squash to roast.

Can you share your oxtail recipe? I bought oxtails a couple of weeks ago and stuck it in the freezer since I wasn't sure what to do with it. I tried some once at a potluck at work and loved it, but the girl who made it isn't there any longer.

Split pea soup, heavy on the ham chunks with corn bread.

Well, tonight at the Nursing Home, they are serving:

Steak sandwiches au jus
Steak fries
sweet and sassy cole slaw
and mandarin orange delight (probably involves fruit and jello)

So, since I am having to eat high protein and low carb for pre-op, I will skip the steak fries, and have twice the steak with no bun. I may or may not eat the mandarin orange stuff, depending on how it looks and whether or not they have a sugar-free version (they probably will).

we're gonna have paninis with corned beef, swiss cheese and a touch of sauerkraut. On low carb bread, of course!

Beans & Weiners has replaced Mac & Cheese for a quick meal around my house.   Funny how something so simple has become a favorite.

Chili!!

Tonight I'm planning on having a quesadilla made with a low carb tortilla stuffed with roasted chicken and cheddar cheese. 
I'll also have maybe 1/4 cup refried beans with extra cheese.

Yorkie - could you make part of the chicken casserole without rice? Do you make yours using a box of wild rice?   I'm wondering if you have ever played around with it to get it lower carb.

hey Hon, I use instant rice as it cooks more quickly and bf hates wild or wholegrain anything lol.
No I've never played around with it...this is bf's and his daughters fav so i agreed to make it tonight....we don't have any recipes like this in the Uk so I had never had it till one night in Crackerbarrel, jamie ate it and I tasted it.....I wonder if you could make it with pasta instead of rice, maybe pre cook the chicken and then add the soups, peas , mushrooms and dreamfields penne or rotini and then fini**** off in the oven...after all, the rice is just a vehicle for the sauce and chicken????

maybe I'll try it and let you all know how it goes !!
