This morning I woke up, headed to the bathroom and saw snow gently falling down through the other bedroom’s windows. Not exactly an encouraging sign of spring.

Sausage

I found out that I had used all the brat buns, so I had to cut it in half and use regular buns.

Ham Loaf and Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes

I guess this is what passed for a Sunday dinner. I used most of what was left of the (free) ham and the ham loaf turned out pretty well. I liked the topping and the ham and ground pork combination. The mashed potatoes on the other hand, were not up to my expectations. Now this could be due to the potatoes being slightly overcooked, or the butter milk not having enough fat in it (2% I think). I think it was the not enough fat. Maybe a bit of sour cream? Anyways, it was nice to put in the effort on a Sunday.

Taco Salad

Good as always.

Hot Honey Crispy Chicken

I made this wrong, I’ll have to do this again. I missed the part where the chili crunch was used, so I used the hot honey. Since I use the extra hot crunch, maybe i’d mix in the spicy seasoned salt. When re-reading the recipe, the thing sliced is cutting the breast in half, so the when I cut them into quarter to third inch slices, that was perhaps a bit smaller then it intended. Anyways, I’ll do this again.

Carolina Pimento Cheese Chicken Salad

I had some Costco rotisserie chicken that I took from the freezer earlier in the week. This came together quickly and was relatively simple. It did have the a nice pimento cheese flavor to it. I was able to make it after taking a nap after I stopped working for the day on Friday.

Spinach and Goat Cheese Quesadillas

This turned out well, though I did get interrupted by work for a bit. The spinach reduced quite a bit and made for a semi-healthful meal.
