Highlights of past week:
Easy Cheese Tortellini - was awesome. Super easy to assemble and really tasty, approved by me and my man. Will definitely make again, and maybe vary slightly to increase frequency (meat filled, marinara, etc).
Ribs - awesome as always, made them spicier successfully by adding more hot sauce. Delish.
Pork chops with apple stuffing - this was okay, the meat was good. The stuffing was good just different, not bad, just different. So I might make this again but not for awhile.
The rest of the week was filled with leftovers, going out, birthday parties, etc. Good times.
This week:
- Tuesday: Easy Day (either something frozen, leftover, or going out)
- Wednesday: Favorite Pot Roast (crock pot)
- Thursday: Havarti Ham and Potatoes (make ahead)
- Friday: Leftover Buffet
- Saturday: Grillin' steaks and ?? (veggies or potatoes)
- Sunday: Something Simple, aka wild card
- Monday: Pan Burritos, these are great because it's easy to keep everything on hand or make from the pantry. Being in San Antonio especially, we always have tortilla's and enchilada sauce in the house.
Note: my Crockpot is a few years old but has a built in recipe book, the recipe for the pot roast is slightly different on the programmed option that I'm going to follow. I'm going to try to make a new crock pot recipe a week, or at least make one crock pot a week. For the simple fact that my work schedule, as previously mentioned is later in the evenings and coming home to dinner already made is awesome. Also why I keep making, "make ahead" dishes. I typically make them in the morning and they sit the minimum 8 hours in the fridge. I've enjoyed it so far, it's nice to have a ready made meal in the evening. It's been interesting to make them not all casserole's. As that would just get kinda old, to me and my man.
