fantastic foods

the above is an experiment. i have found some great deals on strawberries BUT strawberries always seem to go bad in the morchat house.

i hate when food goes bad.

i feel so guilty

i think about how much money i wasted, then i think about how much CO2 is now being exerted into the atmosphere.

and with one basket of strawberries i have just ruined the world... ugh...

sooo i decided to purchase a couple of baskets... and freeze them before they go bad!

it is a perfect summer snack that will last for-ever?


i don't know but at least for a while!





danny and i have been eating mainly paleo for the past few months. i have made it a goal to try something new each month (preferably a veggie). this month we tried brussel sprouts... i know i know...but i have never had them before and i have some friends who LOVE them.

i think i need to work on my brussel cooking skills. everything was okay except i used macadamion nuts instead of pine nuts and they cooked way too quick.

Ingredients
  • bacon
  • butter
  • brussels
  • pine nuts


DIRECTIONS
  • Cook the bacon until it's crispy. Set aside.
  • Leave a thin coating of bacon grease in the pan. Throw in some butter and pine nuts, stir until browned.
  • Add Brussels sprouts and cook over medium heat until sprouts are tender, 5-10 minutes.
  • Crumble bacon over the top before serving, salt and pepper to taste.









this next picture was of our breakfast this morning. it was fantastic!

ingredients:

  • 1/2 onion
  • a little sausage (HEB portabela and queso)
  • bacon
  • eggs
  • mango salsa on top!!

Mornings have been wonderful. Danny will be competing in the Crossfit Qualifiers this weekend. I can't wait to see him whoop ass. :)
