What a week! I haven't been keeping up on my Pinterest meals because my parent in-laws are here for 2 weeks and my birthday and Valentine's Day this past week caused a couple spur the moment dinners away from home.
Can you believe I've only actually cooked 2 meals this week?? Crazy! Crazy on the pocketbook too. Yikes! And tonight is another night out...
So, my birthday was Tuesday and Valentines day was Thursday. Double whammy for the poor hubby! He did good though :) I was surprised with a iPhone 5 for my birthday and I get to go shopping for a new kitchen table set for Valentines. And I did not have to cook or clean a kitchen either of those evenings. Kudos to Joel!
The two meals I did cook this week? Hawaiian chicken in the crockpot and Italian sub bake. Both were winners for my family. We had done something similar to the Hawaiian chicken before but not exactly. This recipe was wayyy easier and still delish.
I'll post the recipes here quick but I failed on taking pics :( you can find pics and recipes on my Pinterest board Food Ideas I Want To Try.
Hawaiian Chicken in the Crockpot
Put 3 chicken breast in crockpot. Cover with BBQ sauce of your choice. Pour a can of drained pineapple chunks over all. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Done! We served over noodles. Rice would work too (Joel does not do rice. Any rice!)
Italian Sub Bake
1 tube refrigerator crescent roll dough
Package of deli turkey
Package of deli ham
Package of deli salami
8 slices Swiss cheese
2-3 egg whites
Salt and pepper
Divide dough I'm half along perforated line. Press half of dough in bottom of square baking dish. Layer half turkey, ham, salami, and cheese on top. Whisk egg whites with salt and pepper. Drizzle half the egg whites over cheese. Layer rest of turkey, ham, salami, and cheese. Press 2nd half of dough on top and drizzle remaining egg whites over dough. Bake covered at 350* for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake additional 20 minutes until browned. Cut into 4-6 servings. Enjoy!
That sub recipe is on my list for next week! Glad to know it's a good one! I'll have to pin your Hawaiian chicken recipe, too. Sounds good! Glad you're having a good time with your in-laws :) Lucky you with the phone and table... and no cooking or cleaning for 2 nights ;) The dresses for you and Des were very pretty. Such a thoughtful MIL... maybe you'll need to make one for the AG doll now, too!
