This past weekend

Hi
I did not do to much cooking this weekend as I was working most of the weekend and not feeling that great. On Saturday I came home from work to find my oldest in the kitchen. She made Spaghetti and Meatballs for the first time. For a first I will have to say I am very impressed. It was so good I send a plate over the my next door neighbor. Today I will have to find something fantastic to make. This upcoming weekend I have been asked to make Empanadas for a party my sister is going to and we have my youngest daughters Birthday party. We will not be cooking the main meal as it Pizza is on the menu. We will be making the cake which will be a beautiful flower. My mother in law has offered to make some appertizers for the party so that will be a surprise I think she will make potato skins? but I am not too sure. So the next time I log on I hope to post some great meals!!!

This weekends menu

So the weekend came and went and as you know it we ate! A LOT.
Friday we had a treat. Hubby went to our favorite Spanish Restaurant Antojitos (latin cravings) This place is really good. We had Palomino Steak with white rice and papa rellena de carne (stuffed potato with meat) and Plantanos. Very Enjoyable but I can't take any credit for that great meal!!!!
Saturday we had French Fries and Fried Chicken, made two trays one Honey BBQ and one Buffalo . I made it a little different this time I used a lemon herb chicken breasts( purchased mistakenly thought it was regular chicken breasts) I rinsed a bit of the seasoning off as I was not sure how it would change my popcorn chicken well it came out so good that there was not one bite left and everyone wanted more.
Sunday we spent the day in the kitchen cooking as Grandpa was coming over for dinner and we have not had him over in several weeks.
First we made the dessert which was this

Then we made Home made Rolls. I don't have a photo yet but my daughter has one so I will have her send to me later and we can add
Then we made Two Trays of Lasagna Roll Ups
One Tray was with only Cheese for my non meat eaters and one with groundbeef and italian sausage.

• 1 box Lasagna
• 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Italian blend cheese shredded
• 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 jars Spaghetti sauce, francesco rinaldis onion garlic is my preference
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, can add more to taste
• 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• a few sprinkles oregano
• a few sprinkles salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, can add more to taste
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 medium size sausages italian sausage, sweet or mild your preference
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

First you want to start with your sauce, add chopped onion, pepper, garlic and dry seasonings, a drop of olive oil and simmer, 

Brown your ground beef with onion, pepper, garlic and dry seasonings also,

Boil your sausage. once meats are done chop up the sausage and the ground beef and add to the sauce stir well and simmer

Boil the Lasagna noodles

lay out on a flat surface 4 noodles with a spoon add about 1 tablespoon ricotta cheese spread over entire noodle, sprinkle on shredded cheeses spread over entire noodle and then add your meat sauce and spread over entire noodle the roll the noodle and put in your baking pan when you have done this with all your noodles add the remaining sauce over all noodles sprinkle on remaining cheeses on top and put in oven on 350 until all cheeses are melted and slightly golden brown. Time to serve

I will have to say I have cooked many meals for my family and friends and this one came out great between the great food and Jeana(My oldest daughter) making her fancy homemade rolls this was one of our bests. If my hubby compliments a meal that really means something as he is a fantastic cook and has owned and worked in restaurants many times in his life so I have a lot to live up to when it comes to cooking :) (this is said with much love)

So later we will update with some photos

Tacos

So last night was Taco Night!!!
How do you like your Tacos?
We made Beef and Chicken Tacos the usual in our home to make 2 of everything as everyone likes meat except my oldest and she only eats chicken and turkey once in a while.
My Favorite Taco is a Hard Shell beef taco with onions, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, and hot taco sauce.
My oldest does a double decker hard shell and soft shell with chicken and lettuce cheese and hot sauce
My hubby and my son make them the same double decker with nacho cheese in between with beef, onions, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and taco sauce.
and the little one likes a double decker also with a drop of nacho cheese beef taco with a little bit of cheese and taco sauce.

So for some houses taco night is quick and easy in our house its quick and easy but adds lots of dishes :)

Tonight???? what will it be?

HI
I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Just wondering what everyone cooked? I worked most of the weekend so I did not do to much cooking but I will share what I did cook. On Friday afternoon I came home and hubby did the usual I'm hungry so I say good what do you want to eat? and here we go again I don't know I offer a few things and he says I don't care just feed me. Typical in my house. So I start looking around for something quick as I need to start getting ready for work and I saw some NY Strips in the freezer. So I was about to break out my George Forman and make a salad but something different came to mind. I made a box of Rice a Roni.(beef) quick and easy still. I grabbed some onions and peppers sliced them up started to saute them added some garlic and pepper, adobo and sazon and 1 small can of tomato sauce and about 1/2 cup of sofrito( I use a combo the half homemade(by my mother-in-law) and half of the goya brand sofrito. I like using the combo as they just make a great base for sauce. In another frying pan I fried the steaks with a teaspoon or so of olive oil and then I cut them into thin slices and added to the sauce, I let this simmer while I made some corn and biscuits. Wow the steak was so tender. Glad we all got to have a quick meal together before I left for work. I will have to get some photos of this meal to add as its quick and tasty.
While I was at work hubby surprised us with some Hooter wings so between that and the leftovers I did not do much cooking. So what will be on the menu for today?? ?
I'm thinking start with Fruit Salad as I have been craving this for days. Then I might do Tacos tonight??? My oldest daughter wants to bake cookies so we will have to decide. Maybe grilled chicken and Salad? Too early in the morning to worry about such things :)
Have a great day!!!
