What's for dinner?

Hopefully I can keep up with each day. Mainly to hold myself accountable to the goals, of making sure I have dinner for my family each night.

Talking is second nature to me, and I am one of this people that shares too much. Steve once told me, "Nobody cares what you ate for breakfast."

I replied, "I care what people eat for breakfast!" Lol

So here goes the download of each nights dinner...

Friday February 21st.

Cute Amy (one of Aubrey's best friends) had a fundraising spaghetti dinner for Weber State Women's Soccer Team. Soccer players are great cooks. It was wonderful!
Saturday February 22nd.

I did not use Citrus Pear, everyone was in and out of the house. Auzzy had been throwing up all night, and had spent 2 days in bed, so I wasn't sure how many needed to eat. We ended up cooking the meals I have on hand.

Hamburgers are always in the freezer. I buy the big Costco bags of 24. I also have chicken patties, and salmon always ready to cook.
 I had wanted some salmon for lunch the day before, so I had my cedar plank soaking in water ready to use. Steve usually cooks salmon on our smoker when we have it. But occasionally if we only cook for 1 or 2, I use the cedar plank. We had 1 hamburger patty and 1/2 salmon left over. Auzzy didn't eat. It was eaten later in the night as a snack. No leftovers by the end of the day! Yay!




Sunday February 23.

We went overboard! I cooked 2 Citrus Pear meals. Josh chose pulled pork for dinner. I wasn't sure how many were coming for dinner, so I cooked an extra pork roast with B-que sauce. Steve has recently bought a new cooking toy, a Sous vide. So he cooked 2 chuck roasts. I also made pasta salad (Josh's favorite).

This was the crockpot containing the 2 meals of pulled pork from Citrus Pear.
We had 3 crockpots going, and only 4 of us for dinner! I ended up taking the pork roast with B-que sauce over to my Dad's so my sister's family could eat it. Also my nephew Jeremy wanted all the leftovers for nachos. Made me happy it was eaten, and I didn't have to throw it away!
The Citrus Pear pulled pork is probably the best I've ever tasted. Soooo good! We still have 2 chuck roasts cooked in the fridge. I'll have to figure out how to use it. Yikes.
