Ok gang, thats it we should be all caught up for this week so far! oh wait, we tried a new place for lunch this week. That was where we had that Cattlemen's Gold BBQ sauce.
It's called Stuart's Own Cowboys' BBQ & Steak Co
Jeremy had a brisket sandwich was was good, would have been great if it was not on the garlic bread, it fell apart, there was too much meat and it got too soggy, keiser roll would be the way to go.
I had ranch burger, minus jalipino peppers, WOW was great. We tried the steak fries and the coleslaw. Steak fries good, coleslaw was tasty.
We will definitely go back for sure.

Breakfast this AM
So Jeremy wanted to do a stuffed French Toast, and use a banana cream cheese stuffing, sorta like what goes in a dessert chimmy chunga.
Then he decided he wanted to layer it rather than stuff it and have me just make the french toast. He did buy unslices Challah bread. I had him cut it up for me and then left him to work on his "Stuffing".
Simple french toast, eggs and cinnamon, then fry on the griddle. I made each of the boys 2 and said ok I am done cooking this stuff. Jeremy was like where is yours. I dont know i get weird on that kind of thing. When it comes to grilled cheese and also eggs and french toast after I make like 6 of em, 8 when Joseph lived with us, I am just done by the time it comes to making mine. So instead I took my slices buttered them and drizzled honey on them...yum yum for that.
Jeremy didnt get his recipe right or couldnt get the taste he was looking for I should say. Connor LOVED it, Alex didnt, Jeremy said tasted better with Maple Syrup on it. Me I thought it tasted like Banana's Forrester.

Corn Bread and BBQ Chicken
So we decided to bbq some chicken which means smoke the chicken and add some bbq sauce on it at the end. Thats ALL JEREMY!
We did get turned on to a new BBQ sauce this week called Cattlemen's Gold. WOW we really like this. It's sweet with a bit of a bite.
I decided to make corn bread on the side. So I had some Martha White Corn Meal and followed a combination of her regular recipe on the back and her spicey recipe on the side. However, I don't really like spicey foods so left out all the spicey ingredients. Also before I put it in the oven I drizzled honey over the top.
Dinner was a hit

I am LAX lol Lets see what I did this week
Back around my birthday I was given this great Fajita kit. Came with a cast iron skillet, a holder for holding tortia shells and preping the fajitas, a tortia warmer, 2 little salsa bowls.
So, I needed to put this bad boy to use!!
I bought round steaks to cut up, taco bell fajita seasoning, shells, peppers and onions.
MMM MMM MMM these turned out good. Well I thought they did Jeremy barely was able to get 1 down, before he decided he was done.

Update on my Cuban
Ok, so Jeremy really wanted a REAL Cuban sandwich. So, I went to Publix and got sliced roast pork, spanish style. And the Supervisor told me the secret is to use Honey Butter on the outside of the bread before the smushing!
Ok tasted OMG different. Well, how was I supposed to know I never had one before.

Chicken Pot Pie
ok here is the recipe I tried to follow.
Let me just say here I CAN NOT BAKE. However I figured well, how hard could this be and Jeremy got me a standing mixer for my birthday..so dough should be easier. And of course I cheated and bought a ready made chicken from the store and removed the skin and shredded that. Also this isnt Paula's recipe it is that of a guest on her show.
Ok so offi start getting my stuff prepped and ready SOOOO EXCITED to be using my new mixer and making pot pie!
And well hmmm something isnt right the dough isnt dough at all its paper mache paste!!!! So, with tears in my eyes and a pissed off attitude I had to get Jeremy and have him do it. I had to scrap out my mess into the garbage and let him start ALL OVER AGAIN!
Round 2..of course Jeremy's came out PERFECT!!! UGHHHHHH and ARGGGGGG apparently you need 1/2 or less of the water the recipe called for. Now after we cooked it all, I went to the site to write my review as i tend to do, and well wish I would have read the other reviews. 1st off most of them didnt even use this crust recipe they had ones they used as standards and the few that did use it KNEW to use a lot less water.
Let me just say WTF! How is a person supposed to learn to be a cook/chef when the professionals you seek out to help you can't even write the recipe right! :(
Now having had my gripe moment
It was really good. Next time though the top layer of crust needs thinner lol it was a heavy meal for sure!

Not really a Cuban Sandwich
ok so I have seen them made on tv..I know Jeremy eats and likes them. So when I went shopping this week they had Cuban Rolls on sale, so I got them and decided to give it a shot!
So 1st off couldnt get already cooked roast pork and frankly was too lazy to make it and wasnt sure what kind of pork is used for roast pork. So I improvised....SUASAGE!!!!
So, needless to say Jeremy was over my shoulder the entire time...apparently it cant be a real cuban with sausage, should be swiss cheese not provolon, i used brown mustards needs to be yellow mustard, i dont have a sandwich press.
Anyhow, made it my way and it was good. Jeremy said it wasnt a "real" cuban but it was taste. Can't really ask for more now can we?
