I'm in the mood for something different for dinner. Any suggestions?

There are just the two of us, so making something different isn't quite as traumatic as trying to introduce it to a family! We recently tried both butternut squash and spaghetti squash - neither of which we had eaten before, and very much liked both. It is also something that works well for two because you can purchase the size of squash that just serves two and not have a lot leftover. I recently purchased a "potato baking bag" which is actually just some cotton material made into a bag with cotton batting in the middle and it works wonderfully. I also found this website where there is a video that tells how to use the bag to cook corn and spaghetti squash: http://www.potatobakingbag.com/ I didn't buy my bag from this site and as you can see from the site, it would be very easy to make (I'm going to make some for Christmas gifts).

I made some sausage gravy, biscuits and fried taters for dinner. I haven't had that in a long while. It sounded good, its easy and tasty. I sometimes tend to make the same things over and over too. Its nice to change things up and have a variety. I am sure you will get all kinds of good ideas. Have a good dinner.

I make what you call a hobo dinner,they are easy & really good....You need hamburger meat,an onion,maybe 2 potatoes,and some frozen mixed vegtables,and just salt & pepper.....You take a nice size piece of foil,like a square,lay it out on your counter,get as many pieces of foil as you want to make a dinner..example 2 dinners, 2 pieces of foil....Make a nice patty with your hamburger meat and put a patty on each piece of foil,then you slice your onion in a round like you are making onion rings,and place about 2 to 3 slices on top of the patty,do the same with the potato,but use more potato because they are a main ingredient,then put about a cup of mixed frozen vegetables on top of that..salt & pepper..Take the foil & bring it up at the top and mash the foil together to form a holder for your meal...So when you get done you will have 2 meals...Pop in the oven for 1 hr & 10 minutes on 375,when you take it out you have a meal in one..You have a starch,a veggie & a meat,they are delicious ..You can use your imagination about the seasoning part....

I tend not to make the same things, and so that seldom comes up, but what we do most of the time is plan our meals around what is on sale. It is more work but such huge savings. You could say that instead of cooking what we want, we make up our minds to want what is on special. So they had an incredible deal on pork loin back ribs at the neighborhood store, really pennies on the dollar and I nuked them tender in the pressure cooker for 1/2 hour and then cooked them 15 minutes in the NuWave oven to crisp them up. They were so good we didn't even want BBQ sauce on them. We had Wally Mart's Frozen Asparagus Stir-Fry vegetables as the side, but I added mushrooms. We have noticed that just recently many stores have much nicer frozen entrees than they ever did before...whatever you want, it is already made for you and more reasonably priced of late, too. I like that! It is hard, though to suggest something different without knowing what you usually make!
