Denings in Paris: Meals, meals, meals

I'd say we ate better (healthier) during the food challenge than we did normally. I thought we'd share some of our more memorable meals. All ratings are for the meal as we had it.

Pulled Pork!
We made good use of our crock pot! For the $2/lb pork shoulder plus 89 cents America's choice root beer plus $1.29 discount barbecue sauce and some bread made us ten delicious servings. Unfortunately a camera mishap cost us us pictures... Rating 5 stars

Cheesy potatoes and Chicken 'Parm'

Chicken in a Pan
This worked great, we added spaghetti sauce and cheddar to make it like chicken parm. Chicken came out as moist and tender as we could want it. Rating 5 stars

Cheesy Potatoes meant as a side we had them for lunch a bunch of times, we under cooked the potatoes (but they were pretty good the on reheating) Rating 3 stars

'Caramel' Pork Chops

Caramel Apple Pork Chops We had a lot of extra apples and some brown sugar. This recipe used them up well. Very tasty, especially the caramelized apples, served on a bed of instant rice. Our only complaint not enough sauce. Rating 4.5 stars.

Spaghetti with sausage

Pork breaded with Parmesan

Breaded Parmesan Pork: A little dry, but that is probably Dave's fault. Rating 2 stars.

Teriyaki Pork

Teriyaki Pork another pulled pork recipe. This one didn't work out as well because it had no step for pouring off the fat, not a great idea when using a fatty pork shoulder! Rating 2.5 stars

Eggs and rice

Eggs and rice (suggested by Omar) very tasty, though Dave over cooked the eggs Rating 3 stars

Homemade iced tea

Tuna noodle

Tuna noodle always a favorite. Not quite as good as usual though because we didn't have room for Parmesan in our budget yet. Rating 4 stars

Pumpkin soup

Pumpkin Soup Another crock pot recipe. We made it a little less spicy than usual. Gets better as it marinates, so leftovers are even better. Rating 4 stars
