Savorings
Gather around the table where good food and good company meet.
Abridged
Tonight we are headed to one of our favs. Abridged. I've never had anything bad to say when dining here. Other than they did have a really good French Dip that they took off the menu. :( Check it out if you are in the area.
Aisle of Shame
I've been hearing about ALDI for a while, but never really went there. I'm starting to frequent it more and I suggest you do too!
Gourmet Grilled Cheese
We have this Cusinart Panini press and the main thing we use it for is a gourmet grilled cheese. We had this at a food truck once and copied the recipe. Sounds a little weird, but I think you will like it.
Texas Toast spread with butter on the outside. Inside add cooked bacon strips, sauteed jalepenos, provolone cheese and blackberry jam. Press for about 7 minutes.
What do you make with your panini maker?
Tastes of NOLA
My husband and I love to visit New Orleans and one of our favs is chargrilled oysters. Check out this listing for top spots!
Mexican Night!
We have 1/2 a cow in the freezer. You heard that right - we have lots of beef. Here is a yummy (and easy) recipe for ground beef to satisfy your Mexican craving.
Chocolate Eclair Cake
My daughter told me about this super easy dessert that is a definite crowd-pleaser. 5 ingredients - "no bake" - as easy as it gets!
Pizza! Pizza!
Another great place to check out is A Dopo. It's wood-fired sourdough pizza and it is delicious! They even do a cool group thing where if you have at least 10 people, you can do an all-you-can-eat for a very reasonable price. This place definitely rates an A+ in my book.
Meal Planning
I've been thinking about meal planning. It gets really difficult to plan tasty, healthy, and for me, easy meals week after week. I found this list of free apps to help me out. See what you think and let me know how you plan your meals.
Wine
Who doesn't enjoy a cold Sauvignon Blanc on a summer evening or a nice Cabernet Sauvignon with a good steak? I love all wines (almost). So, wouldn't it be fun to gather with friends and host your own winetasting? Check out these great ideas and plan yours today!
