  • Shrimp with orzo and feta

    Grilled pork chops. I marinate them in soy sauce, red wine vinegar, brown sugar and garlic powder.  

    Ive  got a recipe for Mexican Chicken with Ranchero Sauce. I've only made it once but it was yummy. 

    I use my crock pot a lot so I don't have to light the oven.

  • I'm jealous of all you ladies that have husbands with normal palates. My DH is such a meat and potatoes guy. He will barely touch a veggie *sigh* I would love pasta de charlotte, but my husband would never eat it Sad

  • Pasta de Charlotte here too!  And something similar to what Chris posted.  

    We'll do grilled chicken and then use it for chick caesar salads and wraps or on top of Greek salads.  I also make a lot of cold pasta salads.
