What's For Dinner? Weeks 3&4

{Week of February 11-17}


Bow ties with chicken and sun dried tomato pesto (and roasted red pepper, mushrooms and peas). This recipe is somewhere on my blog. I'm sorry... I'm too lazy to find it today.

Valentine's Day dinner: favorite tomato bisque with grilled cheese.
Also, not pictured:
-chicken fettucini alfredo (I saute chicken strips to add)
-cheeseburgers on the grill

{Week of February 18-24}
Lasagna Soup - recipe found on Pinterest - took to my grandparents house along with some store-bought focaccia and a plate of fruit for dinner Sunday night. It is deeeelicious!! Loved the "cheesy yum" surprise at the bottom of the bowls. :)
Leftovers on karate night. Soph wearing the t-shirt sleeve on her head again (to keep hair out of her face) that makes her ears stick out. ;-)

Also attempted from Pinterest: buttermilk parmesan pork chops. I hate to bad mouth, but these were absolutely awful. Not sure how I didn't see the results coming... What's the purpose of browning a piece of meat in a pan to crisp and color the outside if you're just going to pour liquid over them to finish baking in the oven. The stock just turned all the Panko coating to mush and made the whole thing soggy and unappetizing. The taste wasn't horrible but the mouthfeel and appearance were completely lacking. I won't make this again and I didn't even take a picture. :(

One final Pinterest recipe this week: Mexican stuffed shells. These were tasty! A lot of high sodium, processed ingredients like the seasoning packet and taco sauce... but we did like them and they were something different.

Pinterest has been highly useful in the cooking department lately! I've made several dessert recipes too.

I love these posts! As always. I actually have some recipes to share and I've seen so many things in the past couple of months that I say... ooooh... Ashley would love that.. but haven't had a chance to share. Hopefully soon. Life is overwhelming!
