Yesterday I made some TexMex bowls. I melted Mexican blend cheese with sour cream and heavy cream to make a sauce, then added precooked fajita chicken and rice. I put that at the bottom of our bowls, then topped them with romaine, tomatoes, and red onion. Turned out really good!

We're having potato leek soup with sausage, roasted broccoli, and a fresh baguette from a local bakery. The kids have been devouring the broccoli so I keep making it.

Pulled pork on a bun. I finally got around to trying the recipe that was posted in the beginning of the month. Here's the recipe again: http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/201...e-67/#comments

I think I'll make a quick coleslaw to go with the bunwiches.

We had pulled pork that I cooked last night. I cooked walnut pomegranate stew that we will eat tomorrow.


I am kinda liking this it means I can start dinner at 4 and we can still eat what i had cooked the night before by 6 and I can pull off the dinner I am cooking by the time we head upstairs at 7 to out the girls done.

Tonight I made huge spinach veggie salads with chicken for dh and I. Tried a homemade italien salad dressing recipe for the first time. It was pretty good.

Then I made shepherd's pie and steamed carrots for the kids. Side of fresh grapes.

Same story here! I've been making it at least once a week for quite a while. We LOVE it.

I cleaned out the freezer/fridge last night: smoked turkey, stuffing from last Christmas , and sweet potato fries. Plus some sauteed zucchini for me and a side salad for DH.

Tonight we get to have a catered dinner at a grown-up party while a friend feeds our kids! Friends celebrating their 30th anniversary and their daughters are throwing a huge party. Should be super fun.
