I need some inspiration, I am in a food rut!
I know I want to try and use my crockpot more, but other than that I don't have many ideas lately. I think I will make crockpot chicken tacos one night this week, and maybe beef stroganoff another night.
Re: Anyone have a menu yet?
No idea what order, but I have things to make:
Cajun pasta with Shrimp
Tacos
Quesadillas (if any leftover taco meat)
something with Chicken (I saw some good mac and cheese recipies on Pinterest this morning...might need to try one of them out)
Beef Stew (my own recipe)
Pulled pork sandwiches (pinterest recipe)
Un-stuffed pepper casserole
Chicken of some sort not sure yet (pinterest for sure)
M- left over speghetti bolonese, made in the crock pot yesterday. I will add more tomato paste and drain the tomato can next time. And a side salad.
T- adobe beef stew in the crock pot with corn bread. This is good, I am not adding as much peppers, it was a bit spicy last time.
