What's for Dinner

Aaron decided he wanted to do a Whole30 for September. Because of that, dinners have been kind of interesting the past 2 weeks. I told him I was totally on board for dinners, and though I'm not going full on Whole30, I am trying to curb my sugar addiction! Aaron has been doing most of the cooking, which is why I don't have a lot of links, and he likes pretty simple food, but this is a sample of what we've been eating! * chicken & green beans (chicken w/ salt, pepper, garlic powder) * tuna steaks & green beans * lamb w/ vegetables (sweet potatoes, asparagus) * ribs & broccoli * rosemary chicken & sweet potatoes w/ garlic * grilled salmon & avocado salsa * balsamic pork chops, caramelized onions and garlic fries I'll do a full re-cap of his experience (or maybe I'll make him  write one!) at the end of the month.

What I've Been Cooking

When it comes to cooking, I'm either on a roll or lost. Since we're not eating out every night, I'm obviously cooking something, but when trying to come up with meals for the week, I often find myself thinking "well what did I make when we lived in Denver? In New Orleans?" Answer - I have NO idea. I seriously can't remember meals from one week to the next, let alone years! About a year ago I decided to make a new Pinterest board labeled "weekly menu" that helped me separate recipes that looked awesome (that I would never make) and recipes that would actually work for a random Tuesday night. That has helped some, but its not quite as extensive or reflective of what I'm actually cooking. So I was thinking it would helpful for my sanity to document semi-regularly meals that our family is enjoying. This is what we've been up to this summer: 1.) Ribs - Aaron got a crock-pot "recipe" from my mom and we've been loving it! This how...
