Dinner on Wednesday went well. We had Salisbury Steak as we planned. It flew together easily and I was able to freeze my extra dinners with lots of the gravy for Day 17. I will make more potatoes that night since Mashed Potatoes don't freeze really well. I may make them the night before when cooking our meal on Wednesday. We'll see when we get there. Miss M joined us for dinner and since there were sliced onions in the gravy, guess what was left behind on her plate? Yup, a few pieces of onion. That's my girl!
Then last night I made our dinner #3. Baked Curried Chicken. MMM Good! That is one of my favorites! I must confess, I did do something different last night. I made 2 separate batches of the seasoning sauce. I put one batch on early in the game, the second was put on the pieces after I turned them over. The result? The best I've ever made, well, except for the chicken skin sticking to the pan, but that made the seasoning get deeper into the chicken itself. I cheated a bit and used "potato boats" for our potatoes, but DH loves them, so who am I to deny him that at our meal? When I make the frozen dinner, I will make some curried rice to go with. That will be an awesome pairing! Can't wait for that one.
Frugal tip: Cutting back on the oil in this recipe not only saves calories, it saves money by saving the oil for another recipe. And it still works well, it is more of a paste that stays where you want it to!
Dinner tonight is with the kids from the team at a local restaurant here in Peoria. Our top kid is running tomorrow and his friends are here to support him. Dinner is our way of supporting him and his accomplishments. Tomorrow will be a long day. I have to bake apple pie when I get home for our church dinner on Sunday. Busy Busy weekend!
