Wontons...

I love wantons, crispy on the outside, savory on the inside... I bought some wrappers and filled these with cream cheese and a couple slivers of onion, then threw them into the deep fryer... OMG they were so good...

 

 I made up some noodles to compliment them, but they totally stole the show...

Paula Let Me down...

I can't believe it... I love Paula Deen so much... her recipes are amazing... I have always had success when I use her methods... Well, not this time... She made Pulled Pork Egg Rolls on her show the other day and I was totally intrigued!

Cole slaw, and pulled pork mixed together with bbq sauce and sweet relish...

I rolled the mixture up tightly into egg roll wrappers and deep fried them nice and crisp.

They were horrible, absolutely disgusting... greasy and overly sweet... I will never, ever, make these again... ever...

Breakfast Delights...

I am really into breakfast lately... I have been eating toast with egg and sausage sandwiches for breakfast most days during the week... to cut back on the fat I use 1 whole egg plus one egg white, whole wheat Sarah lee 45 bread, nonfat butter spread and veggie sausage... still a savory treat in the morning...


I had a craving a few Sundays ago for egg in the hole which I fried up crisp in the skillet before church...


Also recently I saw the idea on Rachel Ray to use thick sliced ham as the base for a breakfast cupcake... these looked cool but were just a little strange for me...

Payton Robert...

Urgh I love this kid! A couple weeks ago we had Payton's first birthday party at Shell and Paul's house... it was a great time! I cannot believe how much kids grow in just one year... his personality is amazing... what an awesome little man, I can't wait to watch him grow up!

San Antonio...

I went to San Antonio, Texas for work over the summer... it was hot...

Beef Sandwich...

I saw an amazing beef sandwich on The Pioneer Woman's blog the other day and decided to make one of my own...

I started with some cheap, thin beef...

and some sliced mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion which I doused in Worcestershire sauce...

While the veggies marinated I sliced the beef into thin strips and soaked them in the same sauce...I violently threw the meat and veggies onto the grill before preparing my bread...

Mmmm the telera rolls I found at the market were absolutely gorgeous; crisp on the outside and soft in the center....

I split them open and buttered the inside before placing them on the flat top...

The completed sandwich was simply divine... I threw a couple pieces of white cheese over the hot meat before I placed the lid on top... truly a hearty little sandwich...

Fajitas...

I decided I wanted Fajitas the other day so I went to the store and bought some peppers, onion, chicken breast and seasoning...


I sliced everything into nice strips and threw it violently onto the grill with some oil...


The smell was DIVINE! so savory...

Carmen had tacos, Dad a pile of meat and veggies... I decided on an overexposed burrito with guacamole and crema Mexicana... so so good!
