For part 2 of our Memorial weekend, My Dad In Law made some yummy ribs and we had dinner at our place. We all loved the ribs and Hubby made cornbread and potato salad:) I will have to post the recipes next week. I also watched a royal special on ABC this week. I have this ongoing “HUGE” crush on Prince William for the last 17 years!!
We spent our memorial weekend at Greenlake park in Seattle, we got lucky because of the nice sunny weather. We took Riley with us, and I was kinda nervous because I know there will be lots of people and I wasn’t sure if he’s going to “behave”.. He did so well, I’m a proud mamosh! Memorial day, we had dinner here at the house and my Dad In law prepared some yummy ribs while my husband took care of the side dishes, he did German potato salad and cornbread (both were delicious). Enjoy the pics!
It’s been a while since I posted my savings deals. We are pretty stocked up and our pantry and freezer are full. For the last 2 weeks, most of my grocery shopping has been for produce and fruits. So yesterday, I organized my coupon binder and lots of coupons are about to expire, so I wanted to use them. I shopped at Walgreens and Fred Meyer for this saving trip:
These are some of the quick and easy dinners I’ve cooked lately:
I was looking for a simple and healthy recipe online,and this caught my attention from wholeliving.com. I had all of the ingredients needed and was not really up for a complicated dish last night since I would rather watch the NBA playoffs. The recipe calls for a slow cooker, but I just used my Le Crueset and the stove top and cooked the chicken for an hour. I prepared mashed potatoes to go with the dish.
Ingredients:
It’s WIWW time again, I’m linking up with Lindsey at thepleatedpoppy.com. We had lots of sun last week here in the Puget Sound so I was able to enjoy the sunny weather ,wearing my flip-flops and skirt. But now the weather is back to rainy and gray!
Another Adobo dish that I prepared last week. I really liked the result of this one. Normally I don’t use brown sugar to caramelize the pork, I just brown the meat and then add all of the basic adobo ingredients. I could have adobo at least once a week, so comforting and reminds me so much of home. The only thing I don’t like when I make adobo is that I end up eating way too much rice:(
makes 4-6 servings
1 kg Pork cubes
1/2 cup Soy sauce
1/2 cup Vinegar
1/2 cup whole garlic cloves
We had a quiet and relaxing weekend. The weather is back to gray and raining most of the weekend. Hubby and I had dinner at our local favorite restaurant (Coho cafe) and Saturday night we visited our friends Lena and Ethan and got to see their new baby. This week I dropped my old camera and it’s totally broken now, we are thinking of getting a new camera maybe DLSR type but I’m not in a hurry to get it right now, and I also really want to pay it in cash so we have to save for that ASAP. Hubby had a nice surprise from his work this week too, his company appreciates his hard work lately and gave him the new iPad, that’s what I’m using for my pics lately (I’m really liking the quality of the pictures too), it’s funny because Hubby was also gifted with an iPad(the first iPad ever) 2 years ago from another boss. Lucky Hubby!!
This salad was so simple and refreshing when we had couple of nice warm days here in the Puget Sound (we loved every minute of it). I used the same dressing in this salad (the pioneer womans dressing recipe). I will be making this salad A LOT when summer is here:)
We are having great weather for the last 2 weeks here in the Puget sound area(between 70-80),so Hubby and I are taking advantage of it! Last weekend, we had another picnic at Lake Sammamish Park (it’s just a 7 minute drive from our place). We had tacos and nachos for our lunch and it was tasty:)
