  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I am getting bored in cooking. It’s not because I don’t enjoy it, but because I am running out of ideas and have found myself making the same things over and over. I have seen “what’s for dinner” threads elsewhere, but this one is a little different.

Please post what you are cooking for dinner, and a brief description.

I didn’t realize the pot pie would need half and half, so I made chicken and dumplings instead.

Tonight, I made shrimp scampi (from the freezer section of wal mart) with angel hair pasta and green beans. The boys wouldn’t eat the shrimp, and my middle son wouldn’t eat the green beans. My daughter ate 5 shrimp (that’s a lot for a toddler), a few bites of pasta, and a few green beans.

I’m planning on making navy bean soup tonight.
I don’t have anything planned as of yet. Still thinking about it as it is going to be a very warm day here.

Grilled salmon and mango salsa!
I wish I liked salmon more. My husband loves it but I’m just not crazy about it. I tend to like to eat it in salads more than anything. Maybe I have not found my recipe yet.

I didn’t like lentil the one time I tried it… do different recipes change the flavor of it?
I grew up eating a lot of lentils; they're fabulous if you know how to cook them.

For a beginner, I'd recommend soups, because they blend right in with everything else.

Here are some ideas:
Butternut Pear Red Lentil Soup - Be Naturally Fit (I made a big batch of this and am currently having it for lunches; it's really good)

I am not cooking tonight, but here's what's for dinner next time I cook.
Sesame Tahini Noodles (I'll stir fry and add in some extra veg; probably a mix of capsicum, snow peas, carrots, celery, maybe a bit of red cabbage).

@Michie I don't really like salmon either, but I found a recipe even I find pleasant enough:

Tonight it was stir fry from a freezer bag. It was surprisingly good, although the only one of the kids who liked it was my daughter, and she would only eat the chicken out of it.
