What's going on the dinner table tonight? Share with us! I haven't done one of these in awhile. . . because my appetite has been absolute crap. But tonight I'm finally going to get around to making a new recipe: Taco Macaroni. It seems to be a Tex-Mex version of Hamburger Helper. I already have all of the ingredients on hand. I've been planning to make it for the past couple of nights but it hasn't happened. It will tonight. Of course it will make way more than I need but that's what the freezer is for. That's what is happening here. What are YOU having? I want to know!
This one-pot Taco Macaroni is a cheesy, family-friendly dinner with lean ground beef, pasta, peppers, and taco seasoning—ready in under 30 minutes.

Strange phenomena here, For the first time I have a completely empty freezer but tomorrow is grocery day, With the help of everyone's suggestions, hopefully at the end of next month at least something will remain in the freezer,

Do you have pantry staples like pasta or tuna?

@NJChicaa I have some cans of red beans, spinach, peas, and corn. I am not hungry; I will last until tomorrow.

I had soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. And this fake apple cinnamon fritter-type thing (canned apple pie filling, cinnamon, and bread mixed together).

I wondered if you were going to get back to doing these. I’m having pineapple and chicken rice. I made it yesterday for lunch, and it sounded good for dinner today.

We couldn't finish the steaks and steamed veggies I made for lunch today so we'll wait until we get hungry later this evening and eat the rest of that. Your recipe does sound interesting. I'll save it and make it one day next week if it sounds good to Pretty, as well.

As you probably saw, I treated myself to Japanese last night. I have no clue what I'll have this evening.

That sounds a good meal. I hope it's as good as it sounds.

I had a partial plate of New Year's dinner left -- pork tenderloin, broccoli, sauerkraut, stuffing and a piece of apple crumble pie.
