What’s for Dinner? Six Cheese Macaroni, Microwaved BBQ, and Fried Zucchini!

#465 from Schwan’s: BBQ Pork

         

       I LOVE Schwan’s (if you haven’t noticed from my previous posts). There isn’t much that I have tried that I don’t like, but what I like particularly more than everything else if their meat selection. I’m pretty lucky to have cows in my back yard that supplies my family with a large amount of beef. This cuts my meat bill in half which really helps my family out. What it doesn’t help out is when I need chicken, pork, or fish. When I go to the grocery store I tend to get frustrated when it comes to quality or quantity compared to the prices in the meat section. Schwan’s helps to solve that problem.

                When I was fixing the BBQ Pork, Adam looked at me like I was crazy. I was putting meat in the microwave. His grandmother would have died if she had seen me doing that (close all windows at the back of the house STAT!). It pains me a little to admit it myself, but heck, we had hot yummy meat on the table in four minutes. Oh yeah, I said four minutes. The sauce on the BBQ is perfect, and I am super picky about my sauce. Not too much, not too little, perfect. Adam and I ate the entire pack ourselves in the one sitting. Not that I recommend doing that, but it is that good. Buddy was super sad he didn’t get any scraps so I let him lick the bowl for good measure. And yeah, it was even Buddy approved.

#846 from Schwan’s: Six Cheese Tortellini with ½ c. CheesyRagu Roasted Garlic Parmesan, ¼ c. Velveeta, and ½ stick of butter

             

   One thing I thank God for giving me my Granny Jane for every day is her macaroni recipe. I make the best macaroni ever. No really, you can ask my best friend Alex. My macaroni could be the key to world peace. However, sometimes the fam needs something a little different. The Six Cheese Tort had been sitting in my deep freezer for a while and I just couldn’t decide what I wanted to do with it. Belle agreed she’d eat macaroni for supper (I told her I’d believe it when I saw it…), so I whipped something up from what I had in the fridge.

                Yummy! Schwan’s took the cake again. I wouldn’t say it’s better than Granny Jane-from-scratch macaroni, but it’s a close second. I’m surprised the three of us didn’t go into a cheese coma, but we survived with happy bellies.

Fried Zucchini

             

   I fry my zucchini pretty much the same as summer squash. You can see how I do it HERE.
