Moroccan slow cooker stew...which I have never made before so I hope it tastes ok.
Will keep the PB&J on "stand by" just in case it's a dismal failure like the black bean soup with goat's cheese was. ;)

It's hot. We've been on vacation all week, the last two days were in a cabin which was great (kitchen, bbq and firepit outside, grilled lots of tasty things). Back to work tomorrow. Too steamy to cook, ordered in pizza (and bought a new window A/C for the bedroom so we will not die tonight!).
Shredded Beef in Gravy over Mashed Potatoes with Roasted Corn. Beef was done in the crock pot and potatoes were cooked before this heat wave hit.
Chinese food! :)
We had a couple simmering steaks that got freezer burnt so we tossed them in the crockpot with a little bit of broth, salt & pepper, some onion and garlic and cooked until they were falling apart, we than shredded them and froze them in portion size baggies. We keep the flavour neutral as we add flavour when when we reheat so it can be used to various different dishes. We do this with Chicken, pork and beef for when we cannot cook as we do not have AC.
We will make gravy or turn them unto BBQ beef, chicken or pork. This week I am going to try added some greek flavours to pork and making a mock solivaki (sp?) wrap.
Festival food again..gosh, all grease...so I came home and ordered a pizza!! ha ha (no difference!! but it was good)
DH and went to the inlaws for a quick visit and she served us Asain dumplings :P I stuck around to help her make a few more and got the receipe so later this week I think I will be making some. Since we weren't too hungry I bbq's some chicken boobs that I had marniated over night in Lea & Perrings,Garlic powder,chilie paste,S&P, and some honey. They were TO DIE FOR!!! Spicey with a bit of sweetness and soooooo tender :P Served with a salad.
just took out a couple of pork tenderloins so will prob spice rub those and cook them on the bbq; not sure what I will have with it yet
i'm going to do McDonald's today
so sick of eating pork chop, Korean noodles and kimchi two days in a row!!!!
Tonight I am making chicken ceaser salad for dinner-although it is so cold and rainy here I could easily have the oven on!
so i ordered the big mac combo, but when i saw the total price
i changed it to the 1/4 pounder with cheese combo
cuz it was cheaper!
did a coffee, instead of my normal coke zero with the meal
it's the coke that makes me feel bloated
next time.... i'm just gonna order the kids combo
mozzarella and garlic chicken sausages, mashed potatoes, green beans...plus two oven roasted chicken breasts that were leftover from a bigger package.
Now that we're back from vacation, it's back to regular fare. Baked chicken thighs, smashed potatoes, veggies. We eat a lot of chicken!
Nachos, had a huge craving for them so the chicken that was supposed to be tonight's dinner in the fridge and had Nachos and they were so good.
I'm going to do something with chicken in my crockpot later, which is also good on nachos. Skinless chicken thighs (bone in but that's just my preference, find it adds more flavour), a can of drained black beans, about a cup of salsa. I think I add a bit of taco seasoning too? I forget. :) Anyhow, once it's cooked (4-6 hours later), the bones come out easily and you can shred it. I'm going to mix in a can of refried beans, a bit of shredded cheese, use it to make a kind of enchilada by rolling this mixture into tortillas, top with salsa and a bit more cheese, bake in the oven. They freeze well too before baking. We've also used this for a nacho dip.
Last night, a big treat for us here - pork tenderloin. I just used a dry rub and roasted them - so juicy and tender. Had it with roasted potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, and celery - yum on all the crunchy 'burned' bits we fought over!
Tonight will be pork meatballs, Caesar salad, not sure about other sides.
I've been on the go since 4:30 AM and wont be able to stop and rest until 6:30 at the earliest so I popped in here for some inspiration. I have ZERO ideas and ZERO energy. I can't do hot dogs since we've had them twice in the last week ;) and I'm planning on making Asian dumplings tomorrow so I need it to be fast and easy. Any suggestions????
Organic ground beef burgers, risotto, avocado sauce....and a drink or two with a friend at the bar:)
bacon wrapped scallops, bruschetta and greek salad (love black olives!)..and the storms missed us so I was able to cook the scallops and the bread on the bbq
... My 3yo chose dinner- broiled hamburgers without the bun, baby tomatoes and cottage cheese, and green salad (all green veggies). I snuck in a piece of ice cream cake after she went to bed. :)
Too hot to have the oven on, but I did it anyway. Made lasagna and a veggie stirfry on the side...I was doing the children a favour, these vegetables would normally be in the lasagna! Since I had the oven on, made brownies for dessert.
Last night was tortiere (very good from M&M Meats, much better than Schneider's), homemade potato wedges, zucchini sticks (yum, my fave from M&M), sweetlet peas.
Tonight will be bacon wrapped sirloin and packet potatoes done on the BBQ, big salad to go with.
Tonight I plan on cleaning out the fridge/freezer and planning our meals from what has to be used up for the next few days so for sure there will be fries for the kids and perogies. Thinking chicken and ceaser salad as well :)
Believe it or not the only canned soup I have in my stockpile is the cream of mushroom that I use for gravys/sauces. DH isn't a fan of canned soup....plus it's summer and too warm to justify soup ;).
I ended up making basmati rice which I stirfried with soy sauce and added edamame beans and sweet corn. I also cooked up some ground beef in lea and perrings, hot sauce, garlic powder and some other stuff. DH loved it :) so did I.
I might make the dumplings tonight with a side salad but we'll see. I also found these on Pinterst: Healthy Chipotle Chicken Sweet Potato http://www.halfbakedharvest.com/heal...-potato-skins/
for lunch, i did the six wing classic and medditraenen pizza for $10.60
the wings were good, but the pizza was horrid.... bland no taste.
Going out with some girls I use to work with:)
