My thoughts on the submission for a dinner menu:

I think we should have a theme such as comfort food or kid friendly or quick and easy or recipes for working women (crockpot/make ahead). Anyway just my thoughts as it seemed like some of the recipes you all submitted already worked in these categories.

I have a dessert recipe that could fit in a couple of categories - make ahead, and comfort food (well at least for me):

Featherweight (meringue) Chocolate Chip Cookies - Makes 45 cookies

2 egg whites, room temperature
1/4 t. cream of tartar
2/3 c. superfine sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with foil; set aside. IN a medium-size bowl, beat egg whites until foamy, add cream of tartar. Gradually add superfine sugar and beat until stiff peaks for. Mix in vanilla a salt, then fold in chocolate chips. Put in oven, then turn off heat and leave cookies in for at least 5 hours without opening door (they can be left overnight for convenience). Cookies will be very light brown in color. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.

I agreed with you and I think that almost all of the recipes were kid friendly. What child does not love chocolate chip cookies, pizza, chicken pot pies, chocolate strawberries, mozzarella cheese...job well done everyone!!

I think this looks delish and I will certainly try this and the other menu one night!! Have a great night ladies. Sorry my posts have been few and far between, i am down and out with strep throat and the flu, needless to say my butt isn't moving much.

Tammie

look great sorry i wasn't around to participate more this week at work has been challenging for me, plus I have been extra kinda tired this week, not use to being so down

I hear you Jesse, my body has had me down for three days this week with the flu and just feeling run down. My weight has actually gone up a little this week, but I am going to try and nip that in the butt this weekend. It is supposed to be a nice weekend here and I have already taken advantage of it by getting a walk in. i am also going to hit the gym later. You can find the exercises ion youtube if you want to try Last Chance Workout, but if you are feeling run down, i would skip it this week and I will repost with better links next week. Have a great weekend!!

Good evening ladies:
Sorry I have not be very active this week, between the flu which had me dragging butt and then yesterday trying to catch up, I blew out my good knee. I am in so much pain and I knew better. I have a lot of fluid on the knee, tired walking some of it off today, but it didn;t work actually made it worse. I am going to try and hand bike tonight, but seriously don't know if I am going to get to it because between the pain and the feeling blah, i just don;t have the energy. i was really discouraged when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw a 2 pound gain, but I know that is the fluid. Ugh..praying next week is better. For anyone in the path of tornadoes, i pray you all remain safe and sound!! Have a good night!!
