Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap
Guten Morgan this fine Monday. I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week. (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days. I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight. I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.) Friday was exhausting y'all. I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10. Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias. Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over. So Friday morning I got to work picking of...
Tough to choose a favorite this week but I might have to go with the arancini alredo. It was so good! I'm so lucky to have you making these wonderful and healthy meals!
ReplyDeleteOoh, that surprises me but glad to know you liked it! I wasn't sure how it would taste using alfredo over the marinara but with spicy chicken it was pretty good!
DeleteI'm pretty much living on leftovers I froze and thrown together salads. I'm wickedly busy at work and studying for my license. SO Tuesday night was the first, real, warm, homecooked meal I had. Fried eggs and turnip greens lol. I've had a bowl or two of pasta lately as well but that's nothing special.
ReplyDeleteI did make this AH_MAZING roast in my crockpot a few weeks ago. Nom! The leftovers did not freeze too great - the meat is fine but the veggies are meh =/
I'm having leftover chicken chili soon, can't wait for that. I will be cooking this weekend. I've challenge myself to essentially empy out my freezer before my test. Since I'm bulk cooking with a friend shortly after. I'm terrible about freezing things and not touching it for months...
There is nothing like roast. It is roast season for sure! If you haven't invested in a Food Saver yet, consider it, especially if you freeze a lot. We've had things that probably shouldn't freeze well do really well once we flash freeze them and then freeze them in the bags.
DeleteTuesday night we had taco salad in these cute little soft taco shell boats I found. I baked them to crisp them up a bit, and they turned out amazingly good with way less calories than a true taco salad bowl, and just the right portion size. Last week I made potato soup that came out pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteYour chicken looks pretty good. Is the sauce your recipe?
Like your reader above, I'm in clean out the freezer mode too. I really need to get through everything there before I buy anything more - but then I keep finding things on sale and I hate to pass up a good sale.
Taco Tuesday baby!! Sounds delicious!
DeleteThe sauce is light Classico alfredo and I added herbs from the garden (chives, thyme and rosemary.) So I cheated a little. ;-)
It must be that time of year, I'm trying to get the freezer cleaned out too!
Pumpkin bagels with a cinnamon cream cheese would be like pumpkin pie for breakfast! Can't imagine why I'm fat. LOL.
ReplyDeleteBwahaha!
DeleteI said the same thing to my girlfriend when I found out they were releasing Cinnamon Roll Oreos in January. "Ugh, I will always be obese!"
