Tonight Cranberry Chicken is on the menu. I'll serve it with some brown rice, salad and hopefully another vegetable. I have a bunch of granny smith apples in the fridge that I should use so maybe apple crisp for dessert.

Leftover honey-pecan crusted chicken, or leftover Bob's Lambasa stew (more spicy than we expected), or leftover mexican from the restaurant last night. Gotta clean out the frig!

Honey Pecan Crusted Chicken
from Cooking Light, a long time ago
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
4 skinned chicken breast halves, bone-in
8 skinned chicken drumsticks
1/4 cup honey
2 T. dijon mustard
3/4 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1-1/4 cups crushed cornflakes
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
400 oven.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over chicken.
Combine honey, mustard, paprika and garlic powder.
Slather honey-mustard mixture over chicken pieces.
Combine cornflakes and pecans. Dredge chicken in cornflake mixture.
Place chicken on baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spray chicken lightly too.
Cook about 40 minutes. Recipe says it serves 8.
My adjustments: I use all breasts and leave the skin on, and use an olive oil sprayer to spray the chicken; crunchy!

Oh, that's sounds gooooood (Colleen and Patty). I need to revamp my menus (same things all the time--getting very old).
We're having spaghetti. DH is heading into town, so he can pick up some bread for it, and maybe salad fixings as well. Unless, of course, my friend calls--we were supposed to get together today, and if she does, we *may* do a communal dinner thing--then I'll have her grab salad fixings.
LOL

Meals? You mean I'm supposed to cook again? Didn't I already do that last week? 
Seriously, we're most likely having homemade soup tonight but I might be taking baby/myself to urgent care (regular docs closed for holiday) so I'm not sure what dh may do in that case. The broth still needs to be made but the rest should be easy enough. Guess I should start that now if there is any hope...

It is YUM, but until Saturday I hadn't had it in years. My son's swim coach was coming for dinner and we were trying to figure out what to cook in light of The Great Chicken Purchase of 2008, and my husband remembered the honey pecan chicken. Eureka! I managed to dry it out, but the flavor was still there.  I think that meal will have a spot in our new winter rotation, once I make the rotation, that is.

Butternut squash soup and Irish soda bread. (Monday is always soup and bread night here). Possibly an apple pie if I can get off of the computer and to the kitchen

I've got a sickie on the couch, one with autism who doesn't eat much, and DH eats at work. So. Probably whatever she feels she can keep down. I baked up a tray of rice, and I made a dump cake, but other than that, we are winging it tonight...I want to satrt making a meal-meal for DH before work, for us to eat our 'bigger' meal together about 1:30 or so before he leaves for work, and then just do lighter 'lunch fare' type food at the typical 'dinner time'.
