baked chicken stuffed with cheese and black beans...baked ranch onion rings Well you need to do some explaining for those ...details please? 

.baked ranch onion rings Yummy!How do you make these? 

lol...i defrost some chicken tenders.. I mix some Old English Cheese with some Black beans and stuff it put it on one side of the chicken...then roll it up...on the outside I put all my fav seasonings....and put it in the pan to bake.... Onion Rings... Cut em Put them in cold water for about 10 min Then put them in a zip lock bag with some ranch dressing for a while.... then shake them into some flower mixed with pepper and seasoning salt....then through them into the same pan with the chicken :).. 

o i forgot...i also mix the dried chives in with the cheese and black beans....:)....I have also brushed the outside with some BBQ sauce and lighty battered it (with flour) so you have a crispy outside and a cheesy inside....:) 

Onion Rings... Cut em Put them in cold water for about 10 min Then put them in a zip lock bag with some ranch dressing for a while.... then shake them into some flower mixed with pepper and seasoning salt....then through them into the same pan with the chicken :).. What does putting them in the cold water for 10 mins do? Sounds good. I have a bunch of red onions cut leftover from when I made the beer batted onion rings the other night ...I will try that out for the rest. How long do you cook them?

Im not sure what the cold water does but my grandma always puts hers in water before.. 

What does putting them in the cold water for 10 mins do? honestly....I dont know...lol...ill ask my dad...he always did it...and they turned out good...so i do it haha... i put the oven on at 350 to start...and turn them over every 8-10 minutes...i have only cooked them with chicken in the same pan and it takes about 25-30 min....but you could prob up the heat in the oven if you put them on a cookie sheet and that would shorten the time...:) 

Great - thanks!

i think we have steak and mac'n'cheese Nothing wrong with that lol. 

Thanks for explaining how to make the onion rings!! 

The steaks are really good. But my hubby is such a picky eater that we always seem to eat the same things over and over..i need some variety!!! Im about ready to die for some homemade chicken and dumplings, but wouldnt you know, he doesnt like that!! 

wat can i make with pork chops ANYTHING...open up your pantry...close your eyes and grab a can or box....lol....mashed potatoes sound good...with corn.... Put some butter in the bottom of a skillet and then throw the corn on (drained or frozen) let it fry a little...then throw some season salt on...really good!!!

I think tonight is chili dogs and fries.. So not the healthiest of choices, but I'm working late and I have no desire to go home and toss on the apron. I will say though you guys sound like you're making awesome dinners Ü 

MAYBE TOM will come in here and give me a recipe he has been promising to give me .....*taps foot waiting* Great things are worth waiting for....I'm still searching....I know most of it by heart, but can't remember the sauce recipe, which is the heart of the meatloaf....... 2 Lbs lean hamburger 1 Egg 1 Cup Milk 1 Package Sausage (Maple or Hot) Chopped Onion Chopped Bell Peppers red and green 1 Cup Bread Crumbs, plain or flavored 1 Cup shredded carrots 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire 3 Tablespoons BBQ Sauce I use bullseye Use Applesauce, instead of the milk if you want it alittle sweeter.... Form into one large loaf, I usually make sandwiches with mine so it is what I call a sandwich loaf....Bake at 375 for about 1 hour, maybe alittle longer if you like it alittle dryer.....Slice and eat........... 

Not a clue what to make for dinner.Im thinking about taking a nap though.lol 

I can't remember the portions of each, and it does make a difference......... YOU JUST MADE IT a couple of days ago!! What do you mean you don't remember! pfffftttttt..... I'm waiting. ..... sighhhhh
