Smokey, Smokey

Saturday's dinner was smoked ribs and wings. Ribs were delicious ad always. Wings needed more time to crisp up but the flavor was great.

Apple almond French toast

Bread from stick boy turned into French toast. Yummy!

Spinach quiche

From Mastering the Art of French Cooking... Yummy! We had this for dinner Friday night!

3 day weekend!!!

Lots of cooking to be done during the 3 day labor day weekend.

Things I know we are cooking:
Spinach Quiche (dinner tonight and leftovers for breakfast one day this weekend)
Stir-fry
Apple Walnut French toast (Hubby bought Apple Walnut bread from Stick Boy this morning)
Smoked something (probably ribs and wings, something he hasn't tried to smoke yet)

I will probably try to make some muffins and brownies... And of course I'll have all those dishes to wash.. Hubby was nice last night and did the dishes for me because I had to work and my ankle was hurting.  He did a good job too.

Nachos

Our first dinner... Nachos w/ ground turkey, homemade guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese and sour cream. I also has jalepenos on mine.

August Tally

In an effort to see how much money we could save by eating in for 30 days, Hubby kept a comprehensive tally of how much money we spent in August eating out...

Before I put the number up, we did eat out more in August (traveling, dinner with friends, eating out because we won't for a month) than we do in most months and we paid for some meals for people we were with as well...

We spent $846 in the month of August eating out.  We are going to feel rich by October.

Today is day 1 but it is Wednesday so we will be eating at Daniel's tonight.  I will try to get a head start on my dish duties by the doing the dishes tonight so I start with a clean kitchen tomorrow. Cause Hubby is a good but messy cook!

2 more days...

2 more days until our 30 day eating at home challenge begins.   Went out for sushi with my bestest friends last night.  No sushi for 30 days makes me kind of sad...  Am also going to my favorite burger place on Tuesday so that I won't pine for that for the next 30 days.

Hubby went to the grocery store and bought all kinds of staple type items (stuff we only normally buy if we need it for the week).  He made spaghetti for lunches.  I tasted the sauce, it was yummy.

I will try to post every day for the next 30 days.  Hopefully there will be pictures of what we are eating (what Eddie is cooking).  Maybe I'll even take a picture of the dishes I have to do.
