Mini Naan Pizzas

I made my favorite pizzas.  Arugula with pesto and balsamic and pepperoni with hot honey.  Quick and easy Friday night.  I wish I had prosciutto for the arugula one, but it was still great.

Peach BBQ Sauce, sorry no photo

 3+ peaches olive oil Crushed tomatoes sugar garlic onion onion powder garlic powder cayenne paprika salt pepper Apple cider vinegar To peel the peaches, boil for 45 seconds and then dump in an ice bath.  You can feel the skins off with your fingers.  Remove peach pit.  Puree peaches in a food processor or blender.  In a saucepan cook onion and garlic with some olive oil.  Add the peach puree, some tomato, seasonings, lemon juice, vinegar and sugar.  Cook down for a few hours.  Taste and adjust seasonings.  Use an immersion blender to create a smooth sauce.  We used this sauce on some pork chops and I have no idea why there is no photo!  We must have been HUNGRY.

Pineapple pork taco HF

Hello Fresh tacos are so great.  This one has a pineapple salsa.  To make the salsa you take a pineapple fruit cup, strain the pineapple saving the juices in a bowl.  Mince about a tablespoon or two of onion.  Add diced jalapeno and some chopped fresh cilantro.  Add lime juice, salt and pepper to taste.  That pineapple juice gets tossed on your taco seasoned pork at the end of cooking.  YUM.  

German dinner

 Aldi has German week and most of this meal is from Aldi.  Pork schnitzel that I pan fried and topped with swiss and mustard.  Cheese spaetzle that comes frozen and you just toss in a pan, red cabbage from a jar that was heat up a little bit.  The applesauce is homemade.  Rebecca and I went apple picking when it was Honeycrisp time.  This applesauce was so good.  Just cut up about 10 apples, toss in crockpot, add a bit of water, half a cup sugar, and cinnamon.  

Pork Taquitos HF

Hello Fresh pork taquitos is one of my favorite recipes and I have made it a few times now.  It was pretty quick to put together and it has a lot of flavor.  

Swiss Mushroom Burgers

Boyfriend requested swiss mushroom burgers this weekend and I feel like it has been a long time since we had them.  I bought pre made hamburger patties, but I seasoned them with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder.  I caramelized the onions with butter, salt, and sugar.  I used mayo and mustard on my burger.  Boyfriend chose bbq sauce.  Yum yum

Ground turkey spaghetti

 Walmart sells a tube of ground turkey that is Italian seasoned.  It made for a really great spaghetti sauce.  We used all the usual spaghetti seasonings, but since ground turkey is usually not very flavorful I think this is a good product.  I actually bought another tube of Italian and I bought a Mexican seasoned one as well.  I think the Mexican could be good for tacos or a big batch of chili!
