And she made the dough from scratch....double yum!
When I married Mike we continued the tradition and now with our children
we call it Friday pizza/movie night! The kids LOVE it!
We make our dough and sauce from scratch (well more the dough than the sauce).
Recipe can be found in our favorite recipe book---Test Kitchen!! |
Sunday nights we have been (for the last two) enjoying a super yummy sandwich I had growing up! They are called Papa's Sandwich's....sourdough roll with mayo and italian seasoning on one side, italian dressing on the other, then top with ham and salami (thin sliced from the deli) and provolone on the other side....place in the oven and warm it up until the cheese is melting....then add pepperocinis! YUM!
(I promise to add a picture later)
Now....to add a new tradition ( and to make my life easier on busy Saturdays)...
CROCK POT SATURDAYS!
Today I am whipping up Chicken Tortilla soup....it took literally 10 minutes to put it all in the pot!
I will be serving it over tortilla chips, topped with sourcream, cheese, lime, and cilantro.
The adults will be enjoying a Dox Equis with a lime as well!!!
I guess I need to come up with some other fun traditional meals to make life easy.....
we do make meatballs (from the cook book too) often as well as tacos.
The other one that I loved and tried a couple months ago was a mashed potato bar!!
Do you cook any traditional dinners that you serve on the same day every week to make your life easier?
Cute - I love breakfast for dinner. And the crockpot is the BIGGEST HELP EVER
ReplyDeleteI don't have kids; I'm just lazy so that's the kind of stuff I eat. It's easier (and cheaper) to eat the same things every day. And nothing goes bad before I can eat it, either. lol
Buzzing with Ms. B
