Salad topped with lots of fresh veggies and a wee bit of chicken and shrimp. Dessert was angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream.

I made some chicken breasts in the slow cooker with a dijon sauce. I have some nice big potatoes baking and cooking some artichokes. The first artichokes we've had this season. Can't wait!

Pork roast slow cooked with cranberries, honey, ground mustard and cloves. Made a sauce using the drippings and some corn starch. Served with cornbread stuffing. Very tasty, simple and very little mess to clean up. (Lexie sent me the recipe from a slow cooker site).

Sounds yummy! We are grilling some pork chops and jalapeno sausages tonight. I'm thinking some corn on the cob would go good with them.

Had chevon for the first time tonight at a Mexican birthday party. It was delicious - tender, spicy, perfectly cooked! Also had some wonderful refried beans with queso fresco. Que fantastico!

Whoops - that should be "chivo" - not "chevon." Took me a while to find the right word (knew how to say it but not how to spell it! )

I have a roast marinating in a sesame ginger marinade to grill. I'm going to make some rice and some zucchini. Maybe some breadsticks as well.

Any suggestions for what to do with leftover roast pork? Thick cut slices. Hubby says cut it up into chunks and make a stew out of it. Any other ideas?

Mame, I shredded the leftover pork roast into the leftover gravy and made pork & egg noodles last night, very tasty.

That sounds yummy too GAL, and easy enough to make. I might combine both yours and Rissa's suggestions and add noodles into the stirfry.

Homemade chicken noodle soup. It had so much meat in it that DH ate 3 bowls. He loves meaty soup. I had 6 chicken hindquarters I had to use up quickly, and I just wasn't in the mood for fried or baked chicken.

Teach- chivo, chivon, either way you've got my curiosity working overtime. Well waddayaknow, I have google. Ok, goat stew. I'll try most anything once. And once is all queso fresco gets from me. Looked good one day so I thought I'd use it to jazz up my taco dinner, and think I ended up using it in the bean and cheese dip I make. Blech, blech, and blech, reminded me of one big ole cottage cheese curd, and I love cottage cheese. BLT's tonight.

Shredded queso fresco that's all melty is actually pretty good - but overkill is easy. The goat was actually like really tender beef. Tonight I made "Olga" sandwiches - had their flat bread, made a mixture of venison and twice ground pork seasoned with all kinds of wonderful things, topped with a cucumber/Greek yogurt dressing and served with a Greek salad.

Teach, sorry for leaving this for so long. Overkill is probably exactly what I did, I didn't really know how to use it. I know I grated it vs. shredding it. Maybe I'll give it a go again. Christiii, Taco Bell sounds good, thanks for making me hungry. My guys are getting frozen pizza for the 2nd time this week, I still feel el crapo. Maybe I can talk someone into making a run for the border.

No big deal at all - and heck, some people just don't like queso fresco, so no obligation to try it again. Isn't that the fun part of being an adult? If you like something you can eat it every day. If you don't - you never have to touch it again! Last night we had tortilla crusted tilapia w/an apple cider/sugar/oil dressed coleslaw.

Teach, oh you mean that's being an adult? I guess at 50 I can finally claim my "Officially A Grownup" badge then. I've been doing that, I'll get hooked on something and that's all I want, and I have been indulging that far too often lately. I thought I was reverting back to toddlerhood. I just got back from Wal Mart. I guess this thread was still in my mind somewhere, I bought taco fixings. Without the Queso tonight. My 'bean dip' is very basic but also very good as it is, no messing with it today anyway.

It's my definition of an adult - that and not having to make your bed if you don't feel like it or staying up as late as you want! (Aren't those the reasons we all wanted to live away from our parents? )
