OK so a few things. Dinner at the Maldo house sounds good. I am feeling better and have to say 1. That the red velvet concrete sounds yummy! And don't you have a reason to indulge now? :) 2. I am disturbed by a piece of information that I know you already knew. That is that the USDA says that you only have to have 40% beef in a product to call it meat?!?!? WTF?? Seriously I may not eat fast food again. I have to say that I have not had Taco Bell in years, but now I question alot of my other hamburger choices.
So the only thing I have cooked this week are sloppy joes/french fries and I had 2 chicken breasts in my fridge so I made this enchilada casserole. Green enchilada sauce in the bottom of the pan, I cooked the chicken breasts in the oven with some adobo seasoning, chopped it up and mixed it with sour cream, green chiles, black beans and then layered that in a casserole dish with corn tortillas and cheese. However, I am the only one eating it. I have hit a wall with the girls. I too do not want to be a short order cook, but the struggle each night is so frustrating!
Also, do you do some sort of dessert every night. The girls seem to expect it and I try to limit it, but Rudy uses it as a tool to get them to eat. I don't want to continue that habit.
OK enough of my rant, tomorrow night we will have gyoza and rice for dinner with vegetables. At least I know the girls will eat the rice and some of the veg.
Yes, fast food is really disturbing. Not gonna lie we still eat it but of course try to limit it. Also just FYI NEVER buy thos tubes of ground beef. They also contain other parts and imported meat you would rather not consume.
ReplyDeleteDessert is not a huge deal around here, but Tony is a pretty good eater. (Dont worry we have lots of other issues) Somtimes jon will do the same thing with bribery. But ususally I try to explain to Tony that this is dinner and this is all there is to eat for the rest of the night. Tears have followed... 98% of the time I can be strong but sometimes the pudding cup wins!
