What's for Dinner Wednesdays

This week's dinner was actually rather similar to last week's dinner, due partially to the fact that it's almost time to go grocery shopping again so we're running short on some things. I made Honey-Garlic Glazed Meatballs, rice and broccoli (yes, I know, broccoli again....but come on, it's been a whole week!) The meatball recipe included a section to make your own meatballs. However my mother always stocks up on pre-made meatballs, just as yummy and much easier!
Here's the recipe for the glaze. I doubled the recipe because I wanted to have it as more of a sauce then glaze.
Honey-Garlic Glazed Meatballs ~ 4 servings
1 T. Minced garlic (the original called for fresh garlic but we didn't have any)
1 T. Onion flakes (I added this cause I like onions :D )
1 T. Butter
3/4 Cup ketchup
1/2 Cup honey
3 T. Soy sauce
Saute garlic and onion in better. Stir in the ketchup, honey, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer for 5 minutes. Add cooked meatballs.

My dad's not a big fan of sweet & sour sauces but he said this one was good :)
So that's what was for dinner in our house, how about yours?

What's for Dinner Wednesdays

Wednesday is my night to make dinner for the family. Usually I try out some new recipes that I got offline or something. Anyway, I thought just for fun I'd share these recipes and my experiences with them.
Tonight I made chicken, rice, and broccoli. If you know me at all, you know that I LOVE chicken, and rice, and broccoli for that matter.
For the rice, I decided to try adding some flavor with Lipton onion soup mix. You just make the rice the way you normally do, except when you add the rice to the boiling water you put in a packet of Lipton onion soup mix first, one packet for every cup of rice. It turned out really well except it took a little longer to cook with the onion soup mix in it. Don't know why, but it did.
For the chicken I used a recipe I found online, with some slight variations of my own. The internet recipe was pretty much your basic breaded, baked chicken recipe. Here's my version.
Ingredients ~ Makes 4 servings
~4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
~1/4 oil
~1 T. minced onions
~1 T. minced garlic
~1 egg, beaten
~1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
~1/4 cup bread crumbs
~1 t. dried parsley
~1 t. dried basil
~1/4 t. paprika
~1/4 t. salt
~1/2 t. pepper
Boil chicken. Combine remaining ingredients except for the egg. Heat oil, onions, and garlic in 10 in. skillet. Slice chicken into strips. Dip chicken in beaten egg, coat in Parmesan cheese mixture. Brown chicken in oil. And that's it. I thought it was pretty good :)

So that's what was for dinner in our house, how about yours?
