My meals have been booooooring. I've barely been taking pictures. I want sushi. And homemade ice cream. And a mountain of pasta. Basically I want all the carbs lol.
Tuna melts using red bells.
For that horrid Super Bowl--I really meant to revive the Super Bowl food thread but I forgot. Anyway I made a layered salad. Sigh. I really need more salad recipes. This was good and actually lasted a good three days in the fridge.
Potato skins. I had an epiphany. There really aren't many carbs in just the skins and you scrape most of the potato out anyway. I crisped them up really well and then stuffed with cheddar and bacon. Dabs of salsa and sour cream after baking. They were really tiny potatoes. These were a hit.
I ordered bbq from Joe's in KC. Ribs, brisket and burnt ends.
The splurge was Mac and cheese that we've been craving. The cheesy cauliflower is ok but it's not the same lol.
Rollups using the rest of the brisket
The last of my venison meatballs and sauce over zoodles with (sigh) salad lol.
Valentine's Day: I reaaaaaaaalllllllllly have a craving for either lobster tail or crab legs and was willing to splurge and buy some online. However we had a snow storm coming and I wasn't willing to risk them not being delivered on time or even at all (having a really bad experiences with FedEx that started the first week of Dec.). So, I found two choice steaks in the freezer. It was too cold to grill so I had Ronnie do them on the stove. Really good and tender. Next to last of the oysters that I have frozen. I can't believe they've lasted this long and been so good. Stewed tomatoes, brussels in cream sauce and sautéed mushrooms to go with.
Big splurge was Ronnie's favorite chocolate sheet cake. I have always made a regular size one with the intentions of freezing most of it. However.....we always end up eating it all. SO, I found a recipe that is for two. I was shocked to find that I actually had the required 9x7 pan. Fits perfectly in the steam boy.
I could've eaten the whole cake. I didn't and shockingly there are two pieces left for tonight.
