Yummy last minute dinner

That sounds delicious!! YUM YUM!! I actually love just "throwing" things together like that but I'm always scared it won't turn out right. Last night I was craving italian and mexican and couldn't decide so I made homemade lasagna with taco seasoning, my own spicy marinara sauce with "taco" shredded cheese and it was delicious! We actually ate the leftovers tonight and we rarely ever eat leftovers!! It was mexican style lasagna. Weird, I know, but you haven't met my family!!;)

That sound awesome. I think my whole family would like that. I'm going to try it. We toss stuff together sometimes, when we get bored with the same old stuff everyday. We call it garbage casserole.

I stick to recipes. I wouldn't dare make something up on my own. I've served stuff cooked from recipes that didn't taste very good. I like using allrecipes.com. The recipes are rated so I can be pretty sure the meal will turn out good. Both last night and tonight I came up with last minute dinners. Last night I took a package of Olivieri ravioli out of the freezer and soaked the container in a pan of water to help thaw it. I also had some Olivieri rose sauce in the freezer and thawed it too. I then thawed some more with the microwave. I boiled the pasta gently for a few minutes and dinner was served. We have a cucumber and tomato salad and raw veggies with all our meals. Tonight's throw-together meal consisted of boiling some tiny potatoes and heating up some M&M's Italian Style Meatballs. They are soooo good. I poured bbq sauce on half the meatballs and served along with the salad and veggies. Perhaps tonight I can plan ahead for tomorrow's dinner and take something out of the freezer so it will be thawed in time to cook dinner tomorrow night.

I love doing that and sometimes I get surprised at how good those spontaneous combinations are. I like to do that with whatever pasta I have on hand and add some veggies and left over meat and some tomato sauce and a lot of cheese and its always so good.

Wow, that sounds good (except for the tomatoes and peppers)! I used to keep pita bread or tortilla wraps on hand all the time, but I don't think I've bought either of them since Tom and I got married. I think I'll pick some up tomorrow. They're always good to poke something in to make a quick meal with. So you used the kiwi - was it good? Did you peel it first?

That sounds really good! I try to come up with new things to eat but none of it every turns out as yummy as your dinner sounds ;)

this sounded really weird though! hehe i was able to make some las minut dinner but never tried tossing anything i find in the fridge! he he my brothers are really choosy with what they eat, it might be wasted if i do that - i am pretty sure they will notice.

Sounds really good! I love tossing stuff together to see what I come up with. My sister calls them my "concoctions". The only bad part is, I never write down what I'm doing and there's been a few times when my family has requested a dish we had where I don't recall how I made it. Oh well!

that sounds tasty, and yes I often experiment not that it turns out exactly as you imagine but always edible

I dont get to just throw stuff together very often because my hubby is a very picky eater. I tend to just stick with what I know he will eat. He's as bad as the kids. On nights he's not home I usually did out a few leftovers and throw something together from that.
