Roasted chicken with cornbread toasted pecan stuffing.
I found a nice big arugula plant in the garden! I'm going to cut it and munch on it for "salad." No dressing, just pungent arugula flavor! So excited about this!!!
Brussels sprouts with soy balsamic glaze.
Dessert is a slice of chocolate chip-banana nutbread with decaf.

Is orange glazed chicken. I don't usually buy it but lots of people like it.
A few of my faves:
--any of their Asian dumplings. They have veg, chicken-cilantro, beef, shrimp, and pork.
--five-seed almond bar. It's like a cookie; comes in a white bag.
--Carolina Gold BBQ sauce.
There are probably others. If I think of them, I'll add them to my list.
As elleng says, so many things!

(10,063 posts)Scored some mussels at Costco so dinner will be a simple one: mussels steamed in white wine with aromatic vegetables. If I get really ambitious I'll make oven fries to go with them.
Dinner tomorrow will be leftover mussels (because Costco quantities), maybe a chowder or something similar.

(35,342 posts)I recently had a seafood salad with mussels. There was also large shrimp and a little calimari. Lettuce and mint. Vinaigrette.
It was weeks ago but I'm still thinking about it 'cuz it was so good!

(1,694 posts)which my children called "slurpy noodles" when they were growing up.
When I was planning menus last week, I saw recipes that called for black vinegar. It can be expensive, but my husband found some reasonably priced at our local Asian market. I added it to the sauce I made up and it was quite tasty.

I made pecan brownies for the husband earlier today and I also have some no added sugar Klondike bars. My first time trying them. They don't taste like no/low sugar; have sort of a little maple-y back flavor. Not bad at all.

I'll have to remember that about the Klondike bars, and give them a try. My husband likes those, but he also is watching his sugar/glucose intake.

(22,767 posts)so I've not tried as hard as I should to stick to stick sugar free stuff, and it's going to show, I'm sure. It's really hard when I live with the walking embodiment of a chocoholic sweet tooth. Yesterday I made a full 9x13" pan of dark cocoa brownies with pecans for him, so unfortunately, there are always things like that hanging around making it hard.
My biggest problem is getting my act together to make and have things on hand that are just as easy to pick up as those things are. Nuts would be ideal, but they're so danged expensive.
