Day #25

Today was a wonderfully long day of strawberry picking, grocery shopping, cleaning and putting away strawberries, etc. This supper is brought to you from a recipe from Hallee the Homemaker's blog. It is Root Beer BBQ beef. You brown the roast, and pretty much throw it in the crock pot with BBQ sauce and a cup of root beer. I really thought it was going to be sweet, but it wasn't nearly as sweet as I feared. On the side is the last of my salad from Longhorn. I will say, I did not finish my sandwich. I was stuffed. We made them on Kaiser rolls, and they were enormous.

Day #24

We went to Longhorn tonight. I really wanted a Pomegranate Margarita <3. Now, let me tell you, this salad...is awesome! It tastes kind of like pizza! It is mixed greens, tomato, purple onions, pepperoncini, some type of white cheese (mozzarella??), feta, and a grilled chicken breast with balsalmic vinaigarette. You will see it again on tomorrow's supper, as it was huge and I ended up eating it for 3 meals.

Day #23

I was really wanting Chinese food. It is not hard to get Josh to agree to it. Besides, you have to love a buffet, where you can get a little of everything instead of a lot of one thing. This plate has fried rick (that I picked the pork out of...), beef & peppers, some sort of veggie combo in a light sauce, pepper chicken and of course a crab rangoon (which, by the way, are not meant to be split and shared!!)

Day #22

Oh, lovely, Pizza! Josh is really upset that I have stopped eating pork again. It especially rears its ugly head on pizza night. This actually came from a pizza chain in the gas station near my house. It is thin crust and has ground beef, black olives, mushrooms, and banana peppers. Pretty good combo.

Day #21

This is what we did with our grain-fed, hormone-free, antibiotic-free ground beef. They were really good burgers. This week, I showed up at the Farmers' Market earlier in the day, and got ground beef with a lower fat content. That was our only complaint about this pack of meat...how much the burgers cooked down, but they were still tasty! We paired it with leftover potato salad from our NY Strip meal over the weekend.

Day #20

Oh yes, I am famous for serving breakfast for dinner. Turkey sausage, scrambled eggs with cheese, and pancakes with strawberries. The kids loved it.

Day #19

Salisbury steak, brown rice (with gravy) and green beans. Josh over-salted the rice. That is really all that I remember about this meal. Oh, and the green beans were mushy on the outside, and some of the peas were still raw.
