Mandy and Jace

I don’t have even close to a plan for this week because this week is going to be completely bonkers. On an exciting note though we know what we’re having! It’s a…..

I can’t tell you. Haha, this is too much fun. We are planning a gender reveal party for our families tomorrow night, so until then my mouth is shut. I am going underground and no one shall know until tomorrow (with the exception of one but she is sworn to secrecy and knows I will drive all the way to Louisiana/Arkansas/Hillbillyville to kick her butt).

Happy eating!!!

I couldn’t help but post this photo. I can’t wait to find out what we’re having so I can start buying little clothes!!

Tonight: pork chops with pico de gallo, mashed potatoes, and squash and zucchini.
Tuesday: spaghetti bolognese. This is a great recipe, definitely worth the time to make.
Wednesday: mexican chicken casserole. I haven’t tried this recipe before. I’ll let you know how is comes out!
Thursday: Sautéed chicken breast with cilantro lime rice.
Friday: date night

Happy eating!

This dish was something that popped into Jace’s head one night at dinner and we decided to try it. It was definitely a winner! I just went and bought Rosa’s queso because I like theirs better than mine. If you want to make you’re own more power to ya. Guacamole would also be really good on this sandwich.

Tex-Mex Cheesesteak Sandwiches

1 pound skirt steak or flank steak cut into small strips
1 poblano pepper, julienned
1 onion, julienned
Your favorite fajita seasoning
Queso
deli rolls

Liberally season the steak with the fajita seasoning (seriously, don’t be shy). Cook over medium high heat until it is to your desired doneness. Remove the meat and put the onions and peppers in the pan. Cook until soft and remove from pan. Cut the deli roll in half and load it up with the meat and peppers. Pour queso over the top and devour. So good!

Thursday: chile Colorado burritos
