Not sure why but I have been avoiding blog posting for a while...but here is last weeks dinner menu...VERY LATE!!!

** Hot and Sweet Drum Sticks...I actually took the skins off of the drum sticks, seasoned them with salt and pepper and broiled them turning them once to get them crisp. Then I pour the sauce over. I double the sauce recipe.

Weekend Recipes

So over the weekend we tried some good, yummy recipes. Definately some keepers. Saturday night Tad cooked up some salmon fillets with some really good lemon, dill rice. We also had some crab fritters. We have become Allton Brown Goo-roos, so of course the crab fritters come from him. Oh...we used imitation crab :)

I also found a new recipe I was dying to try Chili Rubbed Steak Tacos with Cucumber & Alvacodo Salsa....YUMMO!!! Thats all I can say. I wanted it to be ready when we got home from church yesterday so, instead of grilling the steak I tripled the rub recipe and through the meat in the crock pot with about 1/2 cup of water and then...when we got home it was ready and smelled so good. We shredded the beef and then added it back to the juices in the crock pot so it could soak them all up. It was GREAT and I will definately be making them again...soon rather than later. The salsa is soooooo refreshing!! Oh yes....I used more like 2 pounds of meat.

Dinner Menu Week of June 21…better late than never

Ok, so here is my menu for last week. I had it all planned out but things were a bit hectic around here with dr. appointments, dentist appointments, girl scouts, cub scouts, Tate leaving for the summer and, of course, the everyday life J

Monday	Tequila Lime Chicken Pica de Gallo and Guacamole beans All Served Burrito Style
Tuesday	Sloppy Joes French Fries
Wednesday	Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese
Thursday	Tacos
Friday	Enchilada Casserole – I used this recipe, but instead of rolling them I just layered it all as a casserole and last Friday when I made the enchilada's I made extra meat and just froze it.

Tad made dinner Saturday night and it was so good. He made his famous shrimp which are my favorite, favorite, favorite and I made my favorite chopped blue cheese sald and the amazingly great Buttered Rosemary Rolls. It was a great dinner :)
