What's for Dinner ~ Saturday April 7th

Hello!

Comp is still dead but I have an old one working in it's place for the moment.
No idea what I'll have for dinner, Bill is working, but I am thinking some nice roasted veggies sound good!

with some spicey salsa and chunks of mango in place of the pits. T-man had a rack of ribs with sweet potato fries and the Madster is having a pineapple, strawberries and corn on the cob. She had a big breakfast.


Had a babysitter today for a few hours so the Madster and I had a Mother/Daughter day. Normally it would include a visit to the nail salon but she wanted to mix it up so we went bowling. She then hit me up for popcorn, diet Dr. P and a slice of sausage pizza.

i'll probably just roast them up with some veggies. i've got acorn squash, sweet potatoes, rutabagas, parsnips, carrots and baby potatoes...i went a little nuts last time i went to the store

edit: we started with green salads and i did a mix of parsnips, sweet potato, baby purple potatoes and carrots for the veggies. it was super tasty

I didn't roast any, even though I planned to last night, and now I really want them! Maybe for lunch today...

Glad you are continuing to feel better.

We used up leftover cooked bacon and tomatoes that were on their last legs. We have a big feast planned for a family dinner tomorrow and there will be lots of leftovers for next week's meals.
