Well... Hell has frozen over (at least according to Pete). He came home from work on Monday and Tuesday to dinner made. I couldn't let him get too use to it so Wednesday we picked up Chipotle and Thursday we had our #1 standby of chicken nuggets, pasta and a veggie. I was planning on making something tonight but I got hit hard by a cold so Pete ended up making me grilled cheese and soup. Maybe next week I will go for 3 nights!!!
Monday I made
this. I found it on Pinterest. I remembered to take a picture after we were done eating, sorry! :)
I didn't follow the recipe exactly.
I browned a pound of ground turkey and then added in a can of pizza sauce and some pizza spices. Making my own sauce was just too much for me on a Monday!!
I hollowed out the rolls like the recipe calls for and then spooned in the meat, added a layer of black olives, a layer of turkey pepperoni, and then the cheese on top.
I got the same two remarks from Pete and Madison (Pete ate after us as he had to work late).
#1. How do I eat this thing, pick it up or cut it up. My reply was either one would work.
#2. WOW. that was really good. You need to make this again.
Score one for me!!! ;)
Being that Monday night went so well, I thought I would try again on Tuesday.
I decided to try this
pot roast recipe. You can't find an easier recipe than this! Just dump everything into the crockpot and turn it on low.
8 hours later you have this wonderful looking thing!
I thickened the leftover liquid with a little cornstarch and made a gravy to pour over it. It was a tad salty from the Au Jus mix but it was still good.
I also made these
potatoes from The Pioneer Woman. They were amazing!
Oh.....I also made
this for lunch one day. It turned out good but not quite what I was thinking. It wasn't as cheesy as I thought it would be. Still a valid contender in the "make again" pile!
Public Service Announcement:
Watch out for Potholes or you could end up pissed off and out $800.
That's what happens when you hit the Monster of all potholes on your way to a morning meeting. It blew the tire and destroyed the rim. Now Pete is without his car for 5 days! Luckily the Jimmy John's billboard on wheels was available to drive until he gets his car back.
It's about time for my NyQuil coma so I can hopefully kick this colds arse. I am looking forward to the week where we are all totally healthy! Hopefully it comes sooner rather than later.
Night all!
