Dinner Lately

Christian's last project finished up a week ago and we have gotten back into our favorite past time: cooking for friends. When Christian is working, I make all of our meals during the week, so I get really spoiled when he's off. He cooks our nightly meals, packs my lunch, and sometimes wakes me up to eggs and bacon before work. A girl could get used to this. Here are some highlights of what we've been up to lately:

These are a few meals we had last week. I have been gathering recipes at the beginning of each week and buying only what I need at this store. It's been a great way to make sure we're eating in and trying new things. Christian put his own spin on each of the dishes to make them his own.

pork chops w/ red wine demi & parmesan encrusted eggplant topped with farm fresh goat cheese and rustic marinara    

fish tacos 

I've been off the hard carbs for a month so I eat mine in a bowl.  Everything but the tortilla :)

 On Sunday night Kyle brought over all the fixings for Taco salad. He even made tortilla chips from scratch and I cheated on my no hard carbs for a couple of those.
