We are back from vacation! After driving over 3,300 we are back home, and back to the kitchen. It was a fabulous trip, and now that it is August, school is on our minds. The kids head back August 21, and my classes begin August 26, and preschool begins the Thursday after Labor Day. It will be time to hit the books before we know it.
Given that we got back in the middle of this week, we only really tried out some new dishes for dinner one night. While traveling home one night in the hotel the kids were watching Food Network and saw a Pioneer Woman program. They thought her potatoes looked amazing, so we tried those this week, and they were unanimously voted to keeper status. To go along with them we grilled boneless pork chops. We tried a new method, so while it isn't a true recipe, it is worth documenting. The chops were keepers with beautiful grill marks and were extremely moist and juicy. We will definitely grill them again using the same method.
We did have a non keeper recipe this week. Peanut butter brownies. The final product tasted pretty good, but they didn't get fully cooked through even though I continued to add additional time, and you should have seen my kitchen! So many bowls and utensils... we are definitely not going to make these again.
With school on the horizon it is time to stock the freezer with lunch box cookies and easy weeknight meals. Is there anything you like to make and have on hand to make your weeknights run smoother?
Happy cooking!
