My husband ended up in the hospital after emergency surgery yesterday. He'll be there for several days, so it's just the kids and I and with visits to the hospital, our schedule will be crazy. I'm trying to come up with quick meal ideas that are somewhat healthy.
Sunday I made
Spicy Pork and Coleslaw. I do mine in the crock pot and use a frozen pork loin instead of pork butt. I skip the soda since the frozen pork gives off enough moisture. And I never use the whole can of peppers... that's too spicy for us.
Last night we had leftovers from the pork.
Tonight I'm thinking about this
pasta sauce recipe. I've tried it twice in the crock pot and it never turns out... the pasta gets way too soggy for my taste. So, I'm going to make the sauce on the stovetop and poor it over pasta.
Wednesday night is PT conferences, so I'm throwing pork chops in the crock pot using this new
ranch chops recipe that sounds tasty. Since I don't buy ranch packets, I'll use my own seasonings from this
recipe.
Thursday I'm going to make
fajitas. This recipe is so amazing, I don't even eat the meat, just fill my shell with the marinated veggies. YUM!
Friday I'm going to make
stuffed peppers using the rest of the spicy pork instead of beef and some leftover rice I've got in the fridge.
Saturday I'm hoping that hubby is able to come home from the hospital, so I'm planning his favorite meal, my homemade
chicken pot pie.
