Today I am once again trying to use potatoes from the 10 lb. bag I bought last week. So I fried some bacon =) since everything's better with bacon. I boiled 4 potatoes in the meantime cut in small chunks. I took the bacon out and poured out the grease. I stir fried a red pepper and the potatoes in the grease coated pan. I also sprinkled them with onion powder. After about 10 mins. I cracked 6 eggs in random places, put the crumbled bacon, tomatoes and swiss cheese on them. I covered them and cooked them for like 8 mins. I served this over steamed spinach. Yum!

Hi again!

Man, I hate when I forget my password and am too lazy to go thru the rigmarole to reset it. Well, since my last post there's been a lot. I went to Belize and ate a lot of really good food. Awesome seafood! Yum! Today I made pasta with Gorgonzola cheese sauce, shrimp and spinach. All four food groups in one dish. I let the kids eat theirs with butter and cheese. Yesterday I grilled. I marinated chicken in Italian dressing, and asparagus in balsamic vinegar, olive oil and Italian spices. I threw that, as well as potatoes with butter, rosemary, sea salt and garlic powder on the barbie and it was awesome, at least for me. I sure love to grill! It's my time of year now. Woohoo! Easter dinner was enjoyed by my husband, me not so much. It was a rib roast. Eh. There's more but I can't remember that far back lol. Must not have been that memorable.

O.K. I am off strike. I've actually been off strike but have been studying for a test and not blogging. I think it payed off. Holla! Tonight I decided to make baked ravioli. I have not attempted this dish in 5-10 years. Yes, I know it's not difficult so I'll explain. I made a beautiful baked rav dish back at the old house. I took it out of the oven and placed it on top of the burner. Oops! I heated the sauce up on that burner and the glass dish and ravioli exploded and went everywhere. Thanks to my "Live Like You Were Dying" Bible study, I have decided to move on and get over that root of bitterness ;). Just kidding. I found some mozzarella I didn't know I had. So I made homemade marinara, tossed it with the ravioli, topped it with mozzarella and baked it. Oh so good. I'm glad I bought 2 bags of ravioli so I can make this again soon.

On Strike

I haven't posted anything recently for a reason. I am in protest mode. I will not cook anything until the dishes in my sink are done. After all, this isn't Olga's Diner. A little harsh, yes, but it stinks to be a short order cook, server, and dishwasher. I called the union.

Oh so yummy tonight. Hubby was skeptical at the looks of the meal tonight. I put 3 super thick pork chops in my crock pot. I poured half a bottle of Newman's Own lime vinaigrette of them and set on on low. Thanks to the late Mr. Newman for yummy products, btw. After 2 hours I added a can of chili beans (with sauce) and a can of corn, drained. I cooked it another 2 hours and served it over brown rice. I also steamed cauliflower and topped it with queso sauce. Oh so yummy. I am going for a walk now.

I am waiting for my water to boil for my frozen egg noodles. I am going to mix them with tuna, mayo, sour cream, onion powder, celery powder, dry mustard, Worcestershire (my secret weapon), and cheddar cheese. I'll top it with the rest of my grape tomatoes and breadcrumbs. Oh, and then bake it. I can't wait. Good day for comfort food. Brr.

O.K. So Sunday we had dinner with our church home group. I made a red velvet trifle since it was Valentine's Day but didn't have to cook. That was pretty cool. So today I baked salmon in Italian dressing and put it over organic salad that I got from walmart. I was so excited. The box was only $2.50 for spring mix. I sliced a cuke and added grape tomatoes. I used Ken's honey mustard dressing on top and it was just soooo yummy and healthy (*bonus*).
