Well, besides Mister, that is.
I can cook. And I think I do a pretty good job at it, too. The reason I don’t always cook, at home, is because Mister is usually home from work between noon and 2pm. When I’m rolling in at 5:30 dinner is ready. Why shouldn’t it be, right? He’s been home for hours by the time I get in!
There are times when I get home and he’s either decided not to cook or has been asleep and didn’t get up in time. I’ll gladly cook. But then we’re eating closer to 7pm. If he doesn’t want to eat that late, then meals like this are prepared for the family:
Yup. That is a tray of Bagel Bites and Curly Fries. lol But not all of my meals are made of frozen/processed crap. No, last night I made chicken fajitas and cooked a pan of Spanish rice. But the kids wanted Mac n Cheese, so that’s what they ate…along with frozen taquitos. lol
After the last two weeks of fast food and mass produced food at my grandparents house, I am aching to get cooking again. I can’t wait to see Mister in the kitchen cooking when I get home! No more of the Just throw something in the oven, have it ready when I get home so I can change, grab a bite and go to grandpa’s house. Not to mention the tightness in my pants after these past two weeks. Good lord I’ve missed the gym and the park!

The "Mind"
You know, I love home-cooked food, I just don’t like cooking it. So, I missed it while we were in Vegas, but loved not being a slave to a stove.
However, it’s the beginnings of grill season, so Pman has been doing a good share this past week. As long as I keep buying stuff that needs to be cooked on the grill, I won’t have to slave over the stove.

Oh Mind, I was missing home-cooked meals while on vacation, too.

Ribs? Oh yum! Stupid Adam doesn’t eat piggies and mooers so I don’t ever get ribs. I could buy them but I would have to eat the whole slab myself.
I love those little bagel pizzas so much but I am particularly fond of those pizza bites.
We cook every night except for Monday or Tuesday. His mom normally takes us out. Last night I made this terrible, terrible roasted bell pepper and squash tart. Trying to be all healthy…yuck! And we never get to eat until 7:00. Bad.

Carrie, if you ever see small packages of riblets at the store, buy one. There are usually 6 or 7 sets of riblets per 2 pound pack. Anyway, they are tasty, easy on the grill, and if you split up the pack into smaller amount (like 2 each) and froze them, you’d have just the right amount for you.
Tada! Ribs without having too much.

Augs Casa
I love to cook. I cook 90% of the meals at Augs Casa. I cook because I love to do it and I am really pretty good at it. Name it, meat, fish, chicken, anything. My passion is baking. I made a killer chocolate cake for my sister’s 40th B-day last weekend.

I hate grilling out. Hate, hate, hate it.
Lately, and by lately I mean for the last few months, I’ve been all about the Totino’s frozen pizza. Only $1.00 at my local grocery.
But after seeing that picture, I think I wants me some Bagel Bites.

Carrie’s right, Iron Chef America sucks. But the original is interesting.
Oooh, if we do our own, will their be a theme? Do I have to pit my flautas against Cece’s green enchiladas (that I completely massacred and had to make into some sort of casserole LMAO!)?
Or will we have to cook in our heritage? I’ve got to say, I’m not so sure the lutefisk and pickled herring will go over well.
Oh, wait, I could make pasties.
Kevin, YOU eat bagel bites? Dude, look at all the ingredients on them!
