Festive for Valentine's Day
Much as I would like to have a romantic dinner with DH, we still have to feed the fruits of our romance, so lots of variety, lots of veggies, and a special dessert.To start, borscht with homemade French bread; then mashed potatoes, green salad, pickled beets, and meatloaf. Not just any meatloaf, though. I replace half the meat with chopped, cooked chickpeas, and then I will be baking in in muffin cups for perfect portion control (and to guarantee leftovers).
Dessert will be either a pear crisp made by DD when she gets home from school, or something else pear-based (I bought too many and then need to get used ASAP).

Carrot soup with ginger
Really warming and easy make soup from carrots and fresh ginger. I'll eat it with wholegrain french bread and a glass of Merlot! My kids probable need a hamburger with it on hamburger roll, but that's ok with me, as long as they take a bowl of soup too!Vintage1944

Doctored-up soup from a box
I have some Trader Joe's roasted red pepper and tomato soup, to which I've added some pureed butternut squash I had in the freezer. A loaf of sourdough bread, and it's the quickest meal ever. I love soup these days and would love everyone's favorite, quick-to-the-table soup ideas.Elizabeth G

Chicken Tatin and Olive Bread
I made the Chicken Tatin in the French Woman for All Seasons book. I absolutely LOVED it. A LOT of work, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't let the number of servings listed on the recipe fool you... It says 6 servings, and if that is true, it is unbelievable. I would say easily 8 or 10 serving, if you serve anything with it. I made a green salad with poached pears and olive bread. I had great difficulty sticking with the 50 Percent Solution, it was all so yummy! =) ErinMarilyn

More chicken
Thighs and legs slowly cooked with leeks, carrots, parsnips and mushrooms in a herby stock. The skin and bones taken out, a dash of seasoning and eaten with some crusty bread. And there will be enough for tomorrow with the addition of some haricot beans.Robbyn

Cold Day Dinner
A pot of homemade lentil soup simmering all day on the stove. This time, I went with an infusion of spices from India... coriander, cumin, garam masala, and veggies including carrots, fennel, onion, potatoes, garlic, ginger, and tumeric root. I served it with a simple Indian rice palao. My kitchen smells so good!Farrah27

Roasted vegetables
This fall I have been roasting everything I can get my hands on! My husband loves my roasted brussel sprouts with herbes de provence and my daughter loves my carrots with cinnamon. I serve these with basic meatloaf or baked chicken and always a salad.snorklee

Pan-Roasted Chicken Breast with Stilton Cheese and Apples
It seems fairly quick to make, I have two year old twins. It has to be relative fast or the natives get restless. It seems to be very seasonal and a good use of the apples I picked last weekend.meneia

Leek Soup and Chicken
I came home from work at lunch time and have been sleeping all afternoon (headache, nausea and just general ickiness). I'm thinking leek soup and chicken for dinner. Fortunately I have some pre-cooked chicken breast in the fridge, so I just have to do the soup.kit

pioneer woman
My sister sent me the "Pioneer Woman" cookbook she's been raving about. Started with a blog, then the cookbook, soon a show on Food Network. Simple yet delicious country food. Made her recipe for pulled pork served wrapped in corn tortillas. Oh heavenly, tangy, spicy but not hot, melt in your mouth. Lots of leftovers for other meals. Yum!!!Leahrose

trying a new all-organic cafe uptown...
Its called Muffeletta (spelling?). I believe that is actually a name of a dish, but the restaurant has much much more than just that. Its advertised as all-organic, made-from-scratch. I hope its delicious!!! But we shall see... :)
