Sliced tomatoes from the garden, with a light sprinkle of sea & himalayan salt blend.:chef:
 
We are going to a friends house to BBQ and have a fire. I said I would bring steak tips that have been marinating, spinish dip with bread/pita chips and brownies. We will also have chicken and salad. I can't wait, have a nice weekend everyone.

My DD birthday is tomorrow with a friend party tomorrow and the family party on Sunday so we are having pizza tonight. Just got back from Papa Murphy's (take & bake pizza place) so all I have to do is bake the pizza when it is time to eat.

3 Hour Drive each way every day :eek:, that would have to be my dream job for me to do that. How is the gas bill each week EEK!!!:cry:
 
I was going to make Jerk Chicken Nachos, but I didn't have the right cheese. So I cooked the chicken in the DCB from frozen and cut it up ready for tomorrow. Maybe we'll have it for dinner tomorrow.

So we are having a frozen pizza, but I'll cook it before I serve it. :)
 
Jerk Chicken Nachos... I just use cheese, whatever kind I have! :)
 
I had leftover kielbasa with onions and some mashed potatoes. mmm...
 
Still trying to decide dinner...DH was on a medical call, just coming home now.
 
I made a veggie burger (new recipe...calls for smashed black beans, cilantro, red onion, crushed tortilla chips, panko crumbs, eggs and seasonings) but I thought it was a bit dry once it was cooked to the 160 temp for the eggs. I am gonna try it again with more onion and add in some thawed frozen corn for some extra moisture. DH had normal cheeseburgers and we had scalloped potatoes.
