I may have a problem. It there is a Pretzel Bun on a menu, I *need* it! My family was craving Burger King tonight, so I hit the drive-thru on my way home from running errands. I couldn’t resist their Pretzel King Bacon Cheeseburger with a Large Fry and a Coke. I enjoyed every last bit of the Pretzel Bun. #yummy

Eating Fresh
We stopped by Subway on the way home, and I tested their Naturally Pit-Smoked Brisket Sandwich. It was pretty amazing. Jennifer had Roast Beef, and we agreed to swap halves. However, after a bite or two of the Roast Beef, we decided to let the other halves return to their rightful owners. I also had some BBQ Chips and a Raspberry Cheesecake Cookie!
Thick Spaghetti
Have you ever tried Thick Spaghetti? When we went shopping, Jennifer asked us not to get “thin” spaghetti. So, we found “thick” noodles. We bought them mostly as a joke because “thin is NOT in” at our house. But, they are some of the best pasta noodles I’ve had. They almost remind me of Okinawa Soba Noodles. We are hooked and will have them again!
Beef Bourguinon
We tested another Pampered Chef Meal Starter Sauce and made Quick Cooker Beef Bourguinon for dinner. Sear the meat, add potatoes, carrots and the sauce, and voila! Dinner makes itself.
Rio Grande Nachos
I know the recipe calls it “Rio Grande Dip,” but it was big enough to feed all of us. We turned it into an amazing Rio Grande Nacho dinner. The dip is made in a Rockcrok on the stove and in the oven. It was amazing!
Anniversary Dinner
I started with a Hamilton Co. Smash, the official drink of Hamilton County, Indiana. We shared a Fried Goat Cheese Caprese appetizer, and while it was OK, I think I prefer to the the unfried mozzarella. For my entree, I ordered the Durango Ribeye served with garlic mashed potato, portobello, bleu cheese, tomato, spinach, bacon. It was a little more done than I preferred, but it was still tasty. For dessert, we shared a creme brûlée, which was simply amazing!
Memorial Shepherd’s Pie
I made Shepherd’s Pie. This recipe included ground beef browned with an onion and a couple cloves of garlic, a can of sweet corn, a can of green beans and a can of tomato soup. Don’t tell my family, but I added a packet of our new Enrichables with Kale & Fiber. Added nutrition with no change in taste. I think almost everyone went back for seconds!
One-Pot Oktoberfest
Together, our team made Quick Cooker One-Pot Oktoberfest as well as Nacho Cheese Sauce in our Deluxe Cooking Blender. Both had rave reviews and were enjoyed even by the skeptics in the group. I *may* have added more beer than it called for, but the flavors were great. Who would have thought you could perfectly steam quartered potatoes and inch-long pieces of carrots in THREE minutes?
Labor Day BBQ
I had Brisket, Pulled Pork, Smoked Sausage, Baked Beans, Potato Salad and Corn Bread. It was amazing, but I just didn’t have room for our Peach cobbler. I guess I’ll have to eat that tomorrow!
Leftover Meatloaf Spaghetti
I chose to make my own concoction out of two meals that my family wasn’t crazy about the first time around. I took my Hidden Veggie Marinara Spaghetti and added in the leftover Cheese-Stuffed, Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf. I chopped up the meatloaf and added a can of Roasted Tomatoes and some shakes of Crushed Peppercorn and Garlic Rub. It didn’t turn out too bad if I do say so myself!
