Meatloaf on Demand
Looking in the freezer, I announced I had no idea what to do with the leftover ground beef. LV asked if I could turn it into meatloaf. I vaguely remembered the last time I'd made it. There was grainy...

More Ranger Cookies (kind of)
"I haven't figured out what you put in them, but these are possibly the best cookies I've ever had" was LV's reaction to the last batch. That set the bar a little high. These were good, but not the...

Chicken Pot Pie
I decided to go with a biscuit crust, but didn't make nearly enough dough. I should really start measuring things again instead of guessing.

There was pork, there was chicken, there was not a lot of time. I decided to mix up some BBQ sauce and hope it tasted like a meal.

Salmon Burgers
It feels like it's been a year since I last made these. I didn't know where the recipe was, but I was pretty sure I could wing it. That wasn't the best of plans. "Are you sure you want all that work?"...

Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
I reached for the Italian sausage and put it in my basket. What I planned to do with it, I didn't know. Turns out, it made for a great sauce. LV raved about the leftovers.

Steak and Potatoes
I'm not a fan of "those days." The kind where your dinner ends up on the floor. And it's not even a story worth recounting. Today was that kind of day.

Chicken and More Potatoes
Roasted chicken breast... Hopefully I made some sort of vegetable to go with this. It looks kind of sad.

Pernil
Pork shoulders were on sale. I bought one and put it in the freezer. I just didn't feel like eating it. Weeks went by. I let it thaw for days in the fridge, but to be sure it actually cooked all the...

There's some sort of leftover meat on these tostadas, but I loaded them up with so much lettuce I can't tell what's under there anymore.

Roasted Chicken
Bunches of fresh broccoli's been on sale around here the past few weeks. I didn't feel like dumping raw broccoli on everyone's plate, but I also didn't feel like getting more pots dirty than necessary....

Italian Sausage & Broccoslaw
As far as I was concerned, PTI had ended a "long" time ago. Sports Center had been on for almost 10 minutes. "Have you made a decision about dinner?""No... But we always eat out once during the...

Wings
We couldn't not have wings for the tournament... I bought a jumbo pack a week or two earlier and froze them. They were still frozen two days after I moved them to the fridge. My plan had been to broil...

Easter Eggs
It's hard to imagine getting a boiled egg wrong, but, yeah, I managed that. Somewhere along the way I decided that the recipe said to boil them for 15 minutes. After two or three minutes, a little...

Pork and Some Other Stuff
There was leftover pork roast in the fridge and lots of pasta in the cabinet. That didn't sound particularly good together until I decided to toss them with the leftover broccoli-slaw.
