Food Food Food…

January 31, 2018

So much food…

Since we are cooking at home I feel like Thenewguy does is post pictures of food and all I do is spend all my time cooking, thinking about what to cook or buying food to cook. It took a couple weeks of getting back into a groove for me to start figuring out how to cut back on food shopping expenses. When I wasn’t being careful I was spending $20-30 on ingredients for a meal which is ridiculous and way more work than just eating out!

Anyway…here are some of the meals we have been eating…

 Spaghetti & Meatballs 
Chicken Flautas 
Spaghetti Squash & Curry Meatballs
Lemon Butter Chicken & Rice 
Pineapple Chili Steak Lettuce Wraps

Thai Basil Chicken & Rice 
Steak Fajitas w/Uncle Julio’s tortillas (because I wont eat any other not fried tortillas) 
Banana Peanut Butter Pancakes (flour free) w/Bacon 
 
 That pretty much covers the last couple weeks for non failed dinners or anything that may have come from a box!  Feel free to ask for any recipes!
What are you cooking??

Thirsty Thursday: Thanksgiving Cocktails

November 16, 2017

So for a lot of people Holidays are stressful, all the running around, forced social interaction…all that good stuff.

I personally love the holidays because I refuse to split them, love food, and we have dwindled down the family to just the closest relatives which  makes me excited to spend time with them.

Anyway! It is time to look at some of these cocktails that can make all things right in the world on Thanksgiving!

 
Maple Bourbon Cocktail
Because I love whiskey and who doesn’t love maple stuff???


Cranberry Mimosas 

 
 I love love mimosas so if I can pass it off as an afternoon drink, i’m in! 
Autumn Spiced Rum Cocktail 
 
 OMG yum. I think I have made something like this before but never thought to add cinnamon or other spices.
Fall Apple Sangria
 
 
I feel like you can’t have a holiday cocktail anything without mentioning Sangria.
and one more bourbon cocktail just because…
Sparkling Bourbon Pumpkin Apple Punch
I may be the only bourbon drinker in the family  but I am making this one this year! 
So listen…try not to get too sauced on Thanksgiving but do make some fun cocktails! 
Do you have a favorite drink you make for the holidays??
