Sometimes looking back at my food pictures makes me hungry again. 😁 The Husband starts traveling for work shortly, so you might see a few more vegetarian meals and thinks like barley and lentils. I thought I might be lonely, but Piggy is turning out to be goofy and so lovable that I might be less lonely than I think. She came with me to a new and beautiful park today for my outdoor staff meeting and charmed everyone. She mostly snoozed after saying hello.
We don’t think she has had much people food. She doesn’t even seem to get excited about peanut butter! That’s fine with me, it’ll be more peanut butter for me! I haven’t made any blog worthy pb recipes lately though. I’ll have to work on that.
Tonight’s chicken dish was good. I made tequila lime chicken with cilantro rice. We had chips and salsa on the side.
I made chocolate chip pecan muffins for breakfast that were pretty yummy. They were just my standard recipe with add ins.
Instant Pot Korean beef made an appearance. It’s super quick and delicious, so works well for work nights.
We had steak and potatoes on a sheet pan as well. I don’t remember where I got the recipe though. We used round steaks.
We needed some quick and easy comfort food one night after both of us were missing Fancy, so I made delicious caramel apple waffles with homemade caramel and whipped cream. Mmm… I made everyone jealous at work when I brought them for lunch the next day. I also cannot find this recipe, but you can use your favorite waffle recipe and store bought caramel for easier waffles. I just peeled and cooked down three or four apples with butter, cinnamon, and sugar.
On one of our nicer days, we grilled these chicken tenderloins and had them with a Mexican rice side and fresh pico. They were yummy!
And last, but not least, pasta salad with transportation shaped noodles. Hey now, I know what you’re thinking, but adults need whimsy and fun noodle shapes too! 😁
We’re trying to get back in the habit of meal planning again. Our days have been messed up, so we have taken our 3 month dive into on the fly dinners again, but it’s not super relaxing, so are trying to get structure back. I took all next week off from work, so am going to try to experiment with some new dishes. I may also can or bake, but we’ll see how lazy I feel.
I’m headed off to bed. I do have a new recipe to write up, but got a little too much sun today resulting in heat hives, so am super sleepy from the allergy meds. I think you probably want the recipe to actually make sense. 😬 So have a lovely night!
