I can't believe how long it has been since I updated. Anyway....I am almost to 1000 page views!!!! Thanks for visiting! I really appreciate it...its been really fun to blog about what I've been cooking and has kept my interest in cooking at home. I haven't been the most creative recently, but I've found some interesting things to try in the near future.
This weekend my parents were here in town. As a result we ate very well!!! We also had some fun times in the kitchen together. I showed my dad how to make pretzels. We had so much fun kneading and rolling pretzels together. I never thought that I'd see the day that I would be cooking with my dad!!!! SO MUCH FUN!!! He even might make the pretzels again on his own to bring in to his students.
Ok...on to the main meals....We had steak, potatoes, salad, and green beans on Saturday night. Steak is always such a treat especially b/c it was a nice filet for me and porterhouse for Jim. Delicious on the grill!!!!
Sunday night my mom made mexican stuff. Tacos and a super awesome chicken fajita soup. I'll post the recipe the next time I make it. It was so good topped off with sour cream and cheese.....YUM!!!!!
We had leftovers on Monday night to try to clean out the fridge a bit.
Last night I made slow cooker applesauce chicken. It was ok....just about what I expected. A simple dish, but pretty good. Basic recipe....chicken in slowcooker, add some applesauce, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and any other spices you like. Cook on low 4 hours. I served it with potatoes and broccoli. This made me why I always steam the broccoli. I cooked it in a pot instead and it was nasty and soggy. Nicholas kept calling it "juicy". It was GROSS!!!! I will steam the broccoli from now on!!!!!
Well, I probably won't be blogging until next week, but here's hoping that I can get over 1000 page views!!!!!!
