Pollo Asado Rice Bowls, December 9, 2015

I love being brought meals because (aside from the obvious benefit of being able to keep up with a new baby AND the dishes) people bring us foods I wouldn't have thought of making. Last night's was delicious! Carol brought me a prepared mix of chicken (a breast), black beans, corn, tomatoes, and other yummy stuff to dump in the crockpot. She offered to cook it, too, but I saw no reason not to cook it myownself. The nice thing about crockpot meals is that the house is perfumed with scrumptious smells all day, too. Along with the main attraction, Carol brought us brown rice, tortilla chips, cheese, sour cream, and an avocado, which I made into guacamole. Great stuff!

Shamrock Ravioli, Redux, March 22, 2015

I was terribly tired last night and neither in the mood to cook, nor of the appetite to eat, the green chile pork stew I had planned. Therefore, when I opened the pork to discover that it had turned on us, I was mad at the waste, but not terribly disappointed not to be making that dinner. Normally, I would love it, but I just didn't feel awesome. However, since the pork only felt a little weird and only smelled a teeny bit off to me, I had Jeannene confirm for me that it was bad. Thank goodness we had cancelled Sunday Dinner due to her being sick! We had another package of the green and white, shamrock shaped pasta we served last week, so we pulled that out and cooked it (3 whole minutes), then tossed it with alfredo sauce from a jar. The very soul of ease and very delicious. I would like to say I made a lovely salad to go with it, but I just didn't.
