What a crock. . .
Pan has been working quite a bit lately, which means that we have been even more boring than normal. We have started using our crockpot more though, and made a few easy delicious things this past week.
The above picture is from the "steak bomb". Basically put a roast in the crock pot, topped it with a couple packages of pepperoni, put it on low for about 8 hours, and shredded it when it was finished, putting it on a garlic butter hoagie, and topped with provolone. It was pretty good and perfect for a gameday meal.
This was a lot more appetizing than it looks. For 6 hours on low, we threw in 3 chicken breasts, a can of corn, a drained can of black beans, and a jar of salsa. We shredded it and have been using it in burritos and on nachos. It's awesome.
We plan on making some pork tenderloin + granny smith apple concoction soon, which should be delicious. How did we go so long without using the crockpot very much?

Dinner Dash!
We had a few dinner pics saved up, so I figured I'd do a dinner round-up!
The first pics were of my delicious corned beef I made for St. Paddy's Day. Sadly, the pics I have look like I had already eaten off of the plate. I don't think that was the case, but I'll spare you the pics. It was delicious- I threw a corned beef in the crock pot with some beef broth, a beer, the spice packet that comes with the beef, some brown sugar, and some garlic. I think that's it. It was VERY good!
We used the leftovers to make corned beef hash. Yum!
Tonight I made a Ham, Gouda and Carmelized Onion Frittata
I didn't really follow a recipe, just followed my standard quiche egg/milk ratio and tossed the other ingredients in. I did make this in 2 separate pie pans to keep it a little bit crispy and to speed up the cooking time! We were hungry! It was pretty tasty, though next time it could use a thicker cut of ham.

Dinner
Pasta toss with Italian Sausage, marinara and roasted onion and red pepper. Topped with grated Romano.
Yum!
Not the best pictures, it is hard to take pictures of red food!

Mac & Cheese
Friday during Lent= no meat.
So I made Mac&Cheese from scratch. Pretty tasty, though I still haven't mastered how to avoid lumpiness in the sauce.
It would have been better with some ham or pancetta, but overall, I still give it a thumbs up!

Fried Rice
Pork fried rice. We've never made this before, but it turned out very well. Definitely getting added into the dinner rotation!

Daily Dinner Post
Trying something new. A daily dinner post. We'll see how long this lasts! I hope to do it for at least a month!
Tonight was Reuben Sandwiches. Yum.
