I haven't posted because we haven't been eating in much since we got our house and are working there a lot.
REVIEW of DINNER, last Wednesday:
Steaks were tender and delicious. Yoder's products are tasty and don't taste salty but they do average about 700-800 mg of Sodium, keep that in mind if you need to be salt conscious. The pasta was good, it's one of my favorite ways to eat it with some olive oil and parmesan cheese melted on it. The only thing better is Myzithra cheese and brown butter on pasta from The Spaghetti Factory.
Tonight's dinner was rigatoni with Mid's sauce with meat and some Ciabatta bruschetta garlic bread -- quite tasty like texas toast but with tomatoes and herbs and cheese on top. Just pop from the freezer to the oven for 10 minutes!

What's for dinner?
Tonight's meal will consist of:
* flat iron steaks marinated in Kraft Light Balsamic dressing all day and cooked on the grill
* Yoder's green beans in mushroom sauce - delightful 45 calories per 1/2 cup!
* pasta tossed with some olive oil and parmesan cheese
REVIEW of last night's dinner:
Delish! The pork chops had a lovely smoky flavor from the Mesquite marinade and were cooked just right and juicy. The spinach and chunks of melted feta tasted good. You can't beat homegrown tomatoes in a salad this time of year either!
The new version of the Kraft Free and Kraft light dressings have a lot more vinegar than previously. Very tasty but if you are not a huge vinegar lover, beware, it's now the second ingredient after Water in their Italian dressing.

What's for Dinner?
Since my husband asks that at least once a day!
* Lean boneless pork chops with a Mesquite rub and cooked on the grill.
* Spinach (canned) cooked with some olive oil and reduced fat feta cheese and salt and pepper.
* Salad - iceburg lettuce with some fresh garden tomatoes and a sprinkle of tomato and basil feta cheese. A dressing smorgasboard of Kraft Free Italian and Kraft Balsamic Vinegar dressings.
REVIEW of last night's dinner:
Not my crowning glory.... burnt the rice to a crisp in the microwave and DH overcooked the chicken on the grill a bit. Needless to say we replaced the rice with some curried wheatberry salad and seafood salad with crackers. I used some italian dressing to moisten the chicken as I ate it. The veggies turned out okay but I used a bit too much olive oil so you couldn't really taste the season salt flavor.
Overall just not a good meal for me and the rice thing reminded me I can't cook in the microwave. We were pretty lazy as the dishes are still sitting on the table too!

Moving...
As I get ready to move into a new home soon I will be posting some delicious recipes for the crockpot or slow cooker that make eating healthy time saving and quick!
Tonight I am having something simple.
Chicken breast marinated with minced garlic and pepper and a little olive oil.
[I forgot we threw out the minced garlic in the big power outage, so I am doing a rub with Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic seasoning]
A variety of vegetables drizzled with olive oil and some season salt and cooked on the grill in a foil packet to seal in moisture.
White rice with olive oil and some Garlic Garlic seasoning.
Check back for some yummy ideas for fall and winter that are easy and time saving!
