I believe tonight we are having tuna melts. (tuna salad. (I put canned tuna, mayo, mustard, celery, onion, salt, pepper- all to taste. sorry I don't have an actual recipe I just throw stuff in. then of course put it on bread with cheese and toast like a grilled cheese sandwich) lol don't know if that really needed all that explanation but there you have it.
last night we had super easy pulled chicken sandwiches. (put 2 frozen chicken breasts in crock pot with a small can of chicken broth. cook on low for 6-8 hours. use forks to pull apart/shred. add bbq sauce and serve on buns. easy peasy)
We kind of decide what we are going to have for dinner the morning of that day. so that's all I have for now

Tonight I am making Jambalaya with kielbasa and a mixed green salad! Last week I suggested Slow-cooked orange margarita tacos and did not leave the recipe so here it goes.
This is a Sandra Lee recipe
Makes 10 servings
COOK TIME 8 HOURS
Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped
? margarita mix with orange liquor added
1 10-pound bone-in pork shoulder picnic
Salt & pepper
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup orange marmalade
20 corn tortillas
Directions:
Place the onions and margarita mix and liquor in the bottom of a 5 quart slow cooker. Season the pork roast with salt and pepper. Stir together garlic and soy sauce and rub all over pork. Place the roast in the slow cooker and spoon marmalade over the top. Cover and cook low for 8 hours.
When meat is done remove from slow cooker, let rest for 5 minutes then shred and break up with fork and arrange on a platter. Strain the sauce and stir one cup into the shredded pork.
Warm up the tortillas in a 250 degree oven or microwave ( we actually fried ours in vegetable oil)
Red cabbage slaw
Shred the cabbage and add cilantro,2 chopped jalape?o, 1/2 chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the juice of 2 limes, 3 tablespoons of white vinegar, a pinch of sugar and salt to taste
Place pork inside the tortilla, top with red cabbage slaw and jack cheese
With the left over pork we bought STUBBS spicy BBQ sauce and mixed it together. I went to the bakery and got two big dinner rolls and made pulled pork sandwiches!
something from the freezer, probably meatballs w/spaghetti
pot roast in the crockpot (I just use a season packet from the store) with carrots and onions in the cp and mashed potatoes on the side. I used to put potatoes in the cp too but discovered I like it better with mashed.
trying a new recipe on Wednesday: sweet and sour pork that I'll serve with rice

Sorry, it's leftovers from my parents house! I just made bisquick biscuits to go with it. When I make it I just boil 2 chicken breasts, shred them and add them to some chicken gravy.
Adding these ingredients to the list, DH would love this! Have you ever subbed the peas for corn?
Attempting this tonight, looks super easy
