..Because Hubby doesn't like pork..

My honey tells me all the time he doesn't like pork very much. So it got me expirimenting with porkchops tonight. I used to dislike pork chops, but I've learned to like them. I don't know if I'll get him to like pork chops but I did come up with something that I enjoyed alot. & I made everything from scratch. From the gravy to the roasted potatos. Nope, no frozen or microwaved foods here tonight. Needless to say this was a yummy dinner. I'm glad Honey got me liking mushrooms, they really add alot to a gravy!

So I sauteed a porkchop made a pan gravy out of the drippings, stock, cream, mushrooms, butter, cornstarch, Parsley, and seasoning.
Made a side of Lemon-garlic green beans & Garlic Rosemary roasted potatos. I sauteed them a big in garlic oil before I put them in a pan in the oven to roast with some rosemary! Overall was a very filling dinner. Though I'm still thinking about that pizza. :] Ah pregnancy cravings.

I wonder if hubby would eat this?

Spicy Tofu Noodle & Vegetable Alfredo.

Wanted a healthier lunch even though I wanted pizza, so I decided to use my tofu noodles I bought a couple days ago. I had this pasta once at a restaurant and it had Jalapeno in it to make it spicy, which made me want to use it in this to give it a kick. Needless to say, The Jalapenos were my favorite part. I was actually suprised at how good it tasted even if it's tofu noodles. I also opted to use a low fat cheese. Which also makes a little bit healthier. :)

Husband watched me make this on webcam today. :]

He probably had no idea what I was making. 

Wish you could of tried some! I would of made you eat a Jalapeno ;]

This was really good. I know i'll be making it again. It made bland tofu noodles into something I'd enjoy over and over. :)

Rustic Lunch Pasta. 3/23

Decided to attempt to make homemade pasta the other day.

Needless to say, I now want to invest in a pasta maker.

Do not attempt to roll our pasta dough by hand unless your super man. :]

Unhealthy turned health-ier. :]
I cut, washed and put the vegetables in a container, added some salt, soy sauce, and some toasted sesame seed oil and microwaved them until soft.
Quick and easy way to steam your vegetables.
:)

I think mama noodles should really put on the label that it's spicy. Or give some sort of picture-sign to
let us Engrish people know what we're in for.
I should of known though.
The Chile Powder gave it away.

Lunch! Stuffed Manicotti 3/21

So I went to the grocery store. So crowded! Seriously. I couldn't go through one aisle without trying to get by people for 5 minutes. Some people were just standing there talking to each other blocking the aisle all together. I was like wtf is this welfare day? I'm not exaggerating when I say it was that crowded. 0_O' Never seen a grocery store crowded like that. I bought some stuff to make me some homemade noodles and soup. Still want to try one thing, so I have to go to walmart see if they have it because Price Chopper didn't. So I opted to make some pasta instead. Was going to make Stuffed Shells [never made them before] But I didn't think the shells were big enough. So I looked for the next best thing which was, Manicotti. Never used Manicotti before, but I gave it a try! So yeah...

Maggie makes Stuffed Manicotti for the first time in her life.

The results!

Hot and Cheesy!

"M'm!"- Right out of the oven!

My piece, Oooozing Cheese!

Only one piece remains! :( How sad.

There were probably about 10+ Stuffed Manicotti.

I told Michelle, Steve, Nicole, and Dave they could have some.

There's only one left. Haha.

I'm bored and I like food.

Decided to make a seperate blog for the food I make. Because let's face it. Being a lonely pregnant army wife survivng deployment gives me alot of time to do pretty much nothing. What do I do with that time? Eat of course!
