August 29, 2008

I’m so excited!  Even though my birthday is still a couple months away, my brother sent me my gift early.    He got me my MSU BBQ utensils!  With football season here and BBQing a big thing in TX, I definitely needed these utensils for my new grill.  I’ll be breaking them in this labor [...]

Monday night I made jambalaya.  This time instead of shrimp I used jalapeno sausage…and WOW…that really added to the flavor!  I even increased the Cajun seasonings so that it had more of a kick.  Loved it!  To complimented the meal I had fresh bread and several glasses of red wine.

I might not have cooked this meal…but I still ate a home cooked meal on Wed!  Malek came over after work and made his favorite Zita Casanova.  This dish contained chicken, pasta, spinach and a home made sauce….plus add garlic bread to boot and we had a lovely meal!  Then it was off to softball.

Last night I tried out my new grill!  We grilled jalapeno sausages with flour tortillas and baked potatoes….the potatoes were nuked in the microwave since we didn’t want to wait 45 mins or so to cook them on the grill.  Yummy!

#110 – Buy a grill!!!
I’ve been without a grill for a little over 2 years…and unfortunately my George Foreman didn’t count.    Now that I have my own house I figured it was time to get a grill!  For the past 2 weeks I’ve researched grills on-line and visited Target, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowe’s and [...]

#15 – Cook home meal [i.e. eat out less] (22/143)

Monday night I made spinach ravioli with sun-dried tomato Alfredo sauce.  I love this ravioli from Costo, it’s delicious and easy to make.  Topped it off with garlic bread from HEB and a bottle of white wine.  Can’t go wrong with that!
