Brink Family Food Revolution

We are eating well again in my house!

Since the birth of the twins, most of our meals have either been from a box or from the drive thru. Nothing wrong with either, really, but not exactly exciting. Nor especially healthy, but quick and easy. Filling too. All important when a family has small children.

But not anymore.

My incredibly intelligent and awesome wife decided we needed to start eating real meals again. I did not argue. Okay, so there's lots of Crock Pot meals, but so what? They are hearty and tasty, and we have left overs for lunch. Left overs which, by the way, my boss is always commenting about how good they smell. Wow, that sentence could have been better. But you know what I mean.

Some recipes we have enjoyed:

Chicken with Stuffing
Cheesey Chicken
Salsa Shredded Chicken
Guinness Corned Beef and Potatoes

and my new favorite...
Meaty Corn Chowder.

Pork and Beef recipes on tap for this week! Now, bear in mind we still eat less complicated meals. Microwave pizza is a staple, as is baked chicken, burgers, hot dogs, and sausage with rice. But the variety and taste are increasing and I have become a very happy camper indeed.

PS-I know a dude who makes and sells his own hot sauce. Jeffe's Seriously hot Stuff. Check him out on the web. I recommend the Jalapeno sauce, it takes like Tobasco without being overpowering. He's a good guy, give him a try.

Okay, so that's it. Just a little something to get back to writing on this blog. Car stuff next time.
