Menu Week 2




























Being home has some great benefits, but one of my favorites is making dinner for my family. The reason why I like making dinner is because then I can try all my pintrest recipes! This week was slightly disappointing. Most of the recipes were a flop this week, but there were two stand outs.

Monday: Baked Penne with Chicken Broccoli and Smoked Mozzarella

This was ok, but it was not super memorable.

Tuesday: Cheeseburger pie

I figure any kind of pie for my family is a winner. Well this one was pretty good! It really did taste like a cheese burger. My Mom said she didn't like the pickles in it, but I liked them.

Wednesday: Fall of the bone ribs

We love ribs, and we have a lot of them! This was not a winner. The sauce was too tangy. Now those of you who like a vinegar based BBQ sauce might like it. I'm more of a sweet BBQ sauce person, so the sauce just kind of ruined all the ribs. 

Thursday: John Wayne Casserole

This was a little bit of a surprise! This was the best recipe of the week!! We all really liked it. The only thing that I might change is the jalapeƱos. They were a little spicy, but if you like spice then go for it. It was SO good though. SO GOOD!

  
Friday: Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Green Peppers

I was not a huge fan of this one… The peppers didn't get done. It didn't taste like a Philly Cheese Steak at all. There was a lot of hype but didn't deliver. 

Well thats our pintrest recipes for the week. Maybe next week will be better.
