What Shane Made For Breakfast…

One of the best things about working nights is when I get home & hang out with Shane & Rocco. Sometimes Shane will make me breakfast. It's usually a "breakfast mix" - a mix containing any of the following…cereals, raisins, yogurt raisins, dried fruits, granola bars(or variants of), basically any "breakfast foods" you'd like to mix together.
On Thursday morning she took it to a new level. Applesauce w/ yogurt raisins & pretzels.
It wasn't that bad.

The Triple Threat

I also made The Triple Threat for the occasion. Semi-sweet chocolate chip cookies w/ caramel bits, bacon, & a little maple syrup.

Saturday Dinner

We had some pals over for food & drinks on Saturday. Dana made BBQ chicken sandwiches w/ cole slaw, mashed potatoes, and salad (yogurt dressing).

Mini Cheeseburgers

Dana made mini cheeseburgers today. I had mine w/ ketchup, Dijon mustard, & cucumbers. I had 3 for dinner but ate a few more earlier in the day. They were fantastic!

Pretzels

Made some soft pretzels this week. The shapes at the bottom part of the picture are courtesy of Shane & Rocco.

Haven't Posted In a Bit...So Here's Some Stuff

It's been awhile, I have been making things just haven't posted…

Carnitas Pizza

Homemade dough with Muir Glen sauce, Monterrey-jack cheese, and some carnitas that Dana had made.  I cut it a bit premature - would've preferred to take the pic first.  It turned out pretty good.  

Carnitas Calzone

I had some dough left so I made a calzone w/ all the same ingredients as the pizza above…

…& a bit dark, but a look at the inside…

Very delicious, I enjoyed it more than the pizza.

Chicken Nugget Sandwich 

Dana had made some whole wheat rolls and I had made some Bell & Evans chicken nuggets so why not make a sandwich.  With cheddar cheese, cucumbers, & Dijon mustard.  

Meatballs & Pasta

Dana made some ground sirloin meatballs with garlic & butter on the pasta.  

Cookies

Semi-sweet & milk chocolate chips, with my new favorite addition maple syrup.

Cookie Loaf?

I put some of the dough in a baking tin, wasn't sure how it would turn out. Would I under/over cook it?  

It turned out perfect, soft & chewy.

Brat Burger

I was at my mom's for dinner a few weeks ago, she made burgers & brats.  I combined the two into one sandwich.  W/ pickles and ketchup…

Sunday Dinner

Dana made some chicken breast, green beans, and salad with a yogurt dressing.  

It was so tasty, and I discovered the chicken & salad when eaten together tasted like a chicken gyro.  So...

Chicken Gyro Salad  

I skipped the beans on the salad, added a few more tomatoes, and had a great salad.  Turned out to be a great meal.
