Broccoli Cheddar and Wild Rice Casserole

While I ended up liking this, there were some minor complaints on how I made it. I admit the broccoli could’ve been smaller and it’s a fair note. I wasn’t closely following the recipe, so I ended up using all the cheese to make the sauce, but even so, it still turned out pretty good.

Sausage

All pork, large diameter hot dogs. Good things.

Tuna Steaks

I went in wanting bigger cuts, but when it came to it, there were these little ones that were on mega sale, so I got those and cooked them a bit above what they should have been. Assuming that they were a bit older. Seared with a bit of cajun seasoning. Good meal.

Pork Burgers

Preformed pork and bacon patties from Crooked Gap. good and easy to do.

Penne Alla Vodka

I was originally going to make this Saturday, but as I was picking up my food coop order they had some nice bread that I thought would work well with it, so we had it Friday instead. Quite good, pretty easy to make and over all just a nice dinner.

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

I got about 4 pounds of Roma tomatoes from Blue Gate, and got those going, and then started the marinade for the chicken. The tomatoes are roasted, and waiting for me to decide what to do with them next week.

I made the marinade for the chicken and forgot to reserve some of it. So in that I left the chicken a bit more damp after the 3 hour marinade and when I cooked them with the vegetables it came out easy. I got a new salsa that just looked good at the food coop yesterday. I used it on the tacos and they came together quite well. We were happy with the dinner and that is a good thing.
