Banana Bread with Streusel Topping

 

Banana Bread with Streusel Topping

Terrible picture because people got into it before I could take a picture lol. It's super good, I made the recipe exactly as it said except my eggs were cold and I microwaved the butter for 30 seconds to make it room tempature-ish. I figured it would be fine and it did work out so yay. The only thing I would do differently is I feel like it could use a bit of vanilla. But I'd make this again!

Smoked Pulled Pork Sliders with Mac & Cheese

 

Smoked Pulled Pork Sliders with Mac & Cheese

Craig smoked pulled pork on his smoker and we put it on Hawaiian rolls with horseradish and coleslaw. They are SO GOOD! The mac and cheese I made with the doubled recipe version. The recipe version only listed 1 cup of milk when I doubled it, but you need 2. I also should of put a bit less garlic. Still delicious though and I'd make it again. Oh yeah I used 1 cup of freshly grated mild cheddar, and 1 cup of Velveeta shreds.

Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles

 

Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles

I just took a can of biscuits, and sprayed down my mini dash waffle maker with butter spray. Once they were cooked I rolled it in a cinnamon/sugar mixture. We just ate them as is, and I thought they were just ok, a little dense, but the boys loved them. I loved how easy and quick it was! 

Instant Pot Beef Gyros

I liked how easy this was but it was a bit bland, even though I added extra seasoning. As I put the leftovers away I added even MORE seasoning lol. The tzatziki I also added shredded cucumber and pretty much tripled the spices. I still would make it again because I love gyros.

Roasted Veggies with Chicken Sausage & Rice

 

Roasted Veggies with Chicken Sausage & Rice

I just chopped up broccoli, 2 bell peppers, a bag of small red potatoes, and a package of jalapeno monterey chicken sausages and tossed it in EVOO with salt, pepper, garlic, and a hatch chili seasoning. I roasted the potatoes at 400 for 30 minutes, and the veggies & sausage for like 20 minutes. I served it over brown rice with pepperoncini hot sauce. 

Cafe Rio Smothered Burritos

 

Cafe Rio Smothered Burritos

This was excellent and I even got high praises from my husband. I followed the Cafe Rio Instant Pot recipe exactly. Then I filled the burritos with the pork, microwaveable cilantro lime rice, Bush's southwest beans, and shredded Mexican cheese. I baked uncovered at 350 for 20 minutes. I then topped it with some of the leftover sauce, monterey jack cheese, cilantro, hot sauce, onion and avocado. Super good!
