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!

Pastoral Search Commitee?!

The head elder of the church called me this afternoon and wants me to be on the selection committee for our new associate pastor... What what!

A true honor... Praise be to God...Lord mold me into the man I need to be for this role...

The Set is Complete...

The roommate left and took his fridge with him... This one is more my style... and it completes my stainless steel appliance set...

Lunches...

I have been eating like a pig lately... with recently losing my roommate I need to cut back on crap food and the price tag that goes with it... I made these lunches the other night... A little fish, a little chicken, soup, veggies...
