Picked up some of these Portuguese sausages at Costco and made a new sheet pan recipe for sausage, potatoes, onion, and fresh tomatoes in a broth with water, smoked paprika, S & P, red wine vinegar. Baked for 2 hours until broth mostly evaporated.

Went retro with dinner. Hubs loves tuna casserole so tuna casserole it was. Updated it a bit, no canned cream of mushroom or potato chips. I used Jovial gluten free shells for the pasta, a homemade gf cream of celery soup, sour cream, & buttered panko.

What's a Super Bowl without a little whimsy? I saw these brownie "deviled eggs" online and knew they would be a perfect dessert for our game watching treats tomorrow. 🐰🥚. Egg shaped brownies filled with vanilla buttercream and topped with blue and green sprinkles. Go Hawks!

We get a monthly fish delivery from Alaska. Tonight I tried a new recipe for Coho salmon that was marinated and topped with pineapple before baking. With it, we had baked yams, garlic sesame green beans, and leftover bread sticks.

For National Homemade Soup Day I made Lasagna Soup for tonight's dinner. I subbed Jovial GF Mafada for the lasagna noodles because I had some and they're cute. To give it that traditional taste it was topped with Ricotta, Mozzarella & Parm. With it, homemade GF bread sticks.

It was a breakfast for dinner kind of night. Buttermilk pancakes topped with butter and warmed blueberry syrup (frozen berries from last Summer's crop). Cheesy Kielbasa for both of us and eggs for my husband.

This boy with his sad face knew he was in big trouble with dad. He stole our neighbor's hat, went running and threw it merrily multiple times into a mud puddle, destroying it. Dad bought her a new one and they walked it to her house. She forgave him & gave him♥️

I used the newly released Gluten Free Cheez-its to make Buffalo Chicken Salads for tonight's dinner. Chicken thighs were cut bite sized & marinated in buttermilk and wing sauce, dredged in crushed crackers, and air fried. Ranch dressing and cracker croutons on the salad.

Mac followed his dad out to our side yard this morning unbeknownst to him. This is him coming to our front door as seen on our Ring camera. By the time I got the notification Mac had taken himself on a neighborhood walk. Fortunately he was found within 1/2 hr. Scary😰
