Daily Dinners Post #22 of 26

Getting near the end! I don’t usually forget to take my dinner pictures, but we’ve been SOOOO busy lately it kept slipping my mind until I was already a couple mouthfuls into my food. So this post has a lot of sloppy pictures with bites taken out of them. OOPS!!

Favourite recipe #22: Budget Bytes Turkey Sriracha Meatballs. Can’t wait to buy her cookbook.

october 20th, 2013 – chicken and fries from Church’s Chicken

october 21st, 2013 – homemade chicken soup with kale

october 22nd, 2013 – costco veggie burger and yam

october 23rd, 2013 – blue cheese turkey meatloaf, rice, beans and broccoli and strange yellow sauce

The sauce was a fail. It was very bland. Everything else was good though!

More pictures behind the cut.

So sorry, so late.

october 6th, 2013 – salsa turkey meatloaf and mexican rice

This was quite tasty but if you make it… do not add any salt!! It’s way salty already.

october 7th, 2013 – sriracha mac n cheese and steamed broccoli

This was real good. Make it if you love sriracha!

october 8th, 2013 – costco veggie burger

Oh my god so much sweet potato!!

september 22nd, 2013 – vegetarian chilli

september 23rd, 2013 – blue cheese yam fries and grilled steak

september 24th, 2013 – slowcooker pot roast with barley, and roasted sweet potato

This was from a Canadian Living recipe. It didn’t turn out as nice as I hoped. The beef wasn’t very moist, which is weird because usually everything comes out super tender from the slowcooker! :(

Baked Goods Are Good

Scott made these sweet cupcake burgers for his work bake sale. Everyone loved them and they were the first things to sell out! That’s a brownie “beef patty” in between vanilla cupcake “buns” with icing “lettuce” and “ketchup”, with heart sprinkles cut in half “sesame seeds”!

I made M&M cookies for me and Reese’s Pieces cookies for Scott. They turned out tasty but SO flat. Then I realized that our baking powder expired in 2011. That MIGHT have something do with it, haha!

This Crepes of Wrath focaccia turned out awesome. I really enjoyed my cheese sandwich for breakfast this morning! Making bread is kinda cool but I certainly miss my mom’s KitchenAid mixer with dough hook for sure. Especially for this one because the dough was suuuuuper sticky!

Back again with another daily dinners post. There’s a few restaurant meals in the mix but I didn’t talk about them much because I think I’ll make separate review posts later.

september 8th, 2013 – pesto pasta with sausage and peppers

september 9th, 2013 – pulled pork sandwich with green beans

september 10th, 2013 – alaska roll and spicy tuna roll from Sushi Garden

We picked up sushi before going to a movie… accidentally carried it sideways in Scott’s bag. Oops!! SUSHI SCRAMBLE! Still tasted delicious though. I think Sushi Garden is my new favourite cheapo sushi restaurant.
