there's tuna salad that has to be eaten, some leftover chicken and tater salad from last night and plenty of lunch meat for sandwiches. no cereal tonight unless i haul my happy self out to the store for milk.
what wonders do you have planned tonight? 
I use the "Near East" brand taboule salad mix. Pretty good. It's already done and chilling in the fridge. The rest is quick, simple to finish when I'm ready to eat.
Mine are from a can, but I like *all* green beans. How do you saute yours? I can buy fresh ones, so what do you do to make them tasty 
?
then finished in the oven. One skillet meal.
For the beans I keep it simple - salt, pepper, slivered almonds. The pan saute is in butter. Tarragon's a good herb for beans, but I'm skipping it - the salmon breading has plenty.
My grandmother's staple to go with the headliners - turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberries. Loved it.
sounds like a tasty dinner 
and green beans. They are just humble green beans from the can, but I wonder, is there a way to make them as good as the ones from KFC? I love green beans from there.
Oh, and I'm making a bit of stuffing, too.
ETA: None of this is fried. Despite what some might imagine, we actually bake meats and vegetables here in the South, too
Flash frozen and they hold a good green color and firm texture when cooked. The beans from KFC, are they breaded and deep fried? Don't think I've had them. (KFC doesn't have a franchise spot here.)
I like the taste and texture of them. They are savory without being overpowering, but they are cooked a bit too much. If I could get that in green beans that aren't overcooked, it would be heaven. I *love* them, and always have.
ETA: I've tried frozen ones, too, and they are delicious, but I haven't figured out what to season them with to get a good, savory flavor. Love them anyway, but they are just shy of how I'd like them
I seriously wasn't kidding, but that sounds like a promising recipe!
Thank you
(on edit) pinto in an odd position, rooting for the Yankees to beat Tampa Bay. Tampa and the Sox are tied in the AL East.
Thanks for the suggestions on the chocolate sauce. I think I am going to try it and maybe make the bananas as bananas foster, then put the sauce on them.
Since I can't barbecue and most briskets are too big for me unless I want to eat it for a week. A baked potato and sliced tomato.
Yours sounds great, but you may want to try it .
I wish I would have bought two of them and stuck one in the freezer, but as it stands, there's plenty left over. If anybody left the table hungry after that, it was because they were trying!
It came out great!
With chicken and lots of thyme.
Zucchini muffins to go with.
Making now to serve late tonight, as I made a mid-day brunch. I made quiche with chipotle cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, spinach, onion, red pepper. On top I put sauteed zucchini rounds with lots of garlic.
Cornbread to go with and I also cut a microgreen salad from the raised bed in my garden that I designed especially for them. That was actually the main meal of the day.
