What's for Dinner?

So it's football time. As I say it's foodtime!! I make certain foods during the winter. One of them is fried chicken tenders and popcorn chicken...I made it outside this time cuz boy does it make a mess...I also made a side of homemade mac-&-cheese. My son who was headed out to play football needed protein and couldn't wait for me to finish cooking made himself some eggs on the run. He made a seasoning mix that was pretty delicious!! He gets that from me! Cuz my oldest is the same way! 

Mexican food can be made so many ways, you can make all kinds of sides and then everyone can make their own exactly how they like. I made ground beef, roasted corn (4 an hour in the oven) homemade Pico de Gallo, sliced avocado, cheese, rice & refried beans. It was delicious. My youngest likes beef and cheese only. My husband everything plus some then his burrito won't wrap! Lol

I recently saw someone make a sandwich by mixing all the ingredients together, chopping it up, before putting it on a hoagie bun. So I took that concept and made a lettuce, pickle, tomato, mayo, mustard salad. Mixing it up and putting it on my burger... So good!! 

I have the great opportunity to work from home on occasion and I say, take full advantage of that time! I defrosted a preseasoned pork loin ($7) added my own seasonings and let it sit for 7 hours. Holy tenderness Batman! I made some green beans and instant mashed potatoes and Bam! Dinner is served! 

Some thing my youngest ABSOLUTELY LOVES is pigs-in-a-blanket. I make them quite often, however, sometimes you run out of pigs for the blanket and that's where the creativity is endless. I happen to grab every lunch meat and cheese we had in the draw and proceeded to make my own meats-in-a-blanket! You try! Soooo good, especially on a Sunday afternoon during football or before a huge nightly meal. Keeps those hunger callings at bay. 

Premade refrigerated cookie dough. Plus homemade icing and voila!!  (Plus sprinkles) 

We get those deliver to your home meals sometimes and one of the recipes was this one. They are good and convenient however after a while they all start to have a similar taste to each other.  So we decided I could get take these ideas and make them my own. Here is mine and it's delicious!!!
