Winter and I

Winter and I this week so no new meals for me to cook. Winter ended up eating a peanut butter sandwich and a cupcake for dinner. I had left a few pieces of left over pizza from the wedding. Still good food just nothing new.

Grilled Pizza

This Sunday Lisa wanted me to mix two of our favorite foods together; naan bread and pizza. We also wanted to try grilled pizzas since we hadn't tried it yet. I soon learned that making grilled pizzas was harder then I thought. The naan bread cooks so fast that you had to move quickly to avoid burning the bottom side of the pizza. For the toppings we kept them pretty safe. Lisa went with chicken, onions and mushrooms. I had chicken and onions and the kids had cheese. I am fairly happy with how things turned with it being my first try at grilled pizza.

Ingredients for the pizza.: tomato sauce, naan bread, and grilled chicken and vegetables.

Not the best picture but here is what a piece of Lisa's pizza looked like.

Juicy Lucy

We decided to try and make some Juicy Lucy's on the grill tonight for the main dish. They came out pretty good for our first try. For the cheese we used pepper jack. Maybe not the ooziest cheese but we like the taste. Maybe next time we will go with American and just add some red pepper to the meat. We also grilled up some nice pork loins, chicken, corn, mushrooms, potatoes and some asparagus. We didn't eat it all but rather cooked it up ahead of time for dinners this week. Makes it a ton easier to prepare meals later in the week when the protein is already cooked.

Tonight's dinner on a plate. Juicy Lucy with potatoes and a ear of corn. Once again Weston did a wonderful job of trying new foods. He ate asparagus, corn and even had some of the Juicy Lucy. Winter did eat a bunch of corn and that is all she was willing to eat of the tray of food.

No Sunday dinner this week. We actually got to eat some great food at my step-cousin's wedding which was held at the Durham Museum in Omaha, Nebraska.
