I don't know what to make for dinner?

Question

My husband and I had cannelloni for lunch. We'd like to have something simple/light for dinner but I'm not sure what to make. I thought of soup but we've have soup so many times this week. Any other ideas? I don't want to order anything, I'd prefer to cook.

We only eat fish, not other meat, but thanks for the other suggestions.

Answer 1

If you want light I suggest some fresh fish broiled with a side of veggies, bottle of wine and some candles.

Answer 2

This is very easy to make and taste delicious! I like to serve mine with mixed veggies

Chicken Parmesan
Serves 6

1/3 Cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 Tsp Italian Seasoning, crushed
6 (4 oz) Chicken Breast, boneless, skinless
1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
1/2 Cup White Onion, diced
1 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup 2% Milk
1 (1 oz packet) Ranch Flavored Salad Dressing Mix
6 Slices Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 (10 oz pkg.) Spinach, frozen, thawed, drained
1 Tbsp Pimiento, chopped

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350ºF

In a small mixing bowl combine cheese, ranch salad dressing mix, and Italian seasoning. Roll chicken pieces in cheese mixture to coat lightly; set remaining cheese mixture aside. Arrange the pieces in an 8x8x2-inch baking dish. In a small saucepan cook onion in hot margarine until tender.

Stir in flour; and remaining parmesan cheese mixture: add milk all at once. Cook and stir till bubbly; stir in drained spinach and pimiento. Place a slice of cheese and spoon the spinach mixture over the chicken; sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture. Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes or until tender.

Answer 3

I like to throw grilled chicken in with a stir fry mix. Start with some olive oil, and some Mrs. Dash and onion salt. Or some of your other favorite seasonings. Then put it over rice.
