As promised

Here is a photo of the blueberry muffins:

weekend...

So I didn't do a very good job of blogging or taking pictures this weekend.  However, I'll give an overview of the weekend.

Friday night we had Chorizo Strudels.  It was basically chorizo, onions, and peppers cooked and rolled into 4 phyllo dough sheets.  It was very tasty.  I wish I had taken a picture but I forgot.

We were also trying to find something to do on Friday that didn't involve food.  It is more difficult than you might imagine given my limited walking ability at the moment.  I didn't really want to go to the movies because that is like a 20 minute drive and you have to figure out what to watch.  It seemed a lot of hassle.  Hubby suggested shopping or clubbing (because we are such big clubbers).  We did find something to do: Crazy Glaze in FV is open until 9.  Once we got home I didn't really want to go out so we stayed in and played Yahtzee.  It was fun and relaxing.

Saturday we had burgers for dinner.  Hubby put Worcestershire, chives, cilantro, garlic powder, and salt in the meat.  They were tasty.  He also bought some of that new bacon cheddar cheese from kraft.  It is pretty tasty but not as good as having a actual bacon on the burger.

Sunday morning we had Smitten Kitchen's Corn Pancakes.    They are so good.  They have a lot of texture from the cornmeal and corn.

I also made the Smitten Kitchen's Perfect Blueberry Muffins.  I will take a picture of these tonight.

Last night Hubby made corn tortillas.  They are yummy and nothing like the ones you buy in the store.  We filled them with skirt steak, guacamole, and pico de gallo.  

All in all it was a good weekend.

Day 10...

So this is actually day 9 dinner... It looks very similar to Monday's dinner but it isn't the same.  This is chicken piccata and an orzo side dish with leeks, peas, and bacon.  It was good.  I have some leftover orzo today to go with my leftover smoked ribs.

Tonight for dinner we are having some kind of phyllo dough stuffed with chorizo, peppers, and onions.  I will post a picture.  Hubby found the recipe in one of our cookbooks.

No picture today...

We had left overs from Monday night so we could go out and do a little shopping.  But we went home first and ate.  That would not have happened in any other month.  We would have let the dogs out and gone out to eat.

No cooking tonight but there are still dishes for me to do.  Yay Dishes!

Day 7

Made it through the weekend not even really thinking about eating out.  I did not leave the house until Monday afternoon.  It was really nice!!

So far, I think the biggest struggle has been the dishes.  But when you are home for 3 full days cooking at least twice a day, you make a lot of dishes.  I did a load of dishes on Friday, 2 loads on Saturday, Eddie did 2 loads yesterday...  CRAZY!!  I guess we could pick easier items to cook but when you are home and have all day, you think of making crazy/complicated things.

Here's a picture of last night's dinner:

Pork tenderloin with a mustard sauce (I can't remember what is in the sauce) and risotta with peas and green onions.  It was delicious.

I also made the Smitten Kitchen's Peach Shortbread.   It was pretty easy and very tasty.

So far so good, 1/4 of the way through...

Biscuits and gravy

Stir fry

Sunday night dinner... Orange chicken stir fry with soba noodles.
