Yesterday's dinner was made by both DD & her hubby. They like cooking from scratch, everything fresh. Our meal was "Taco Mac & Cheese".... Oh, so yummy. She made the Colby-Jack cheese sauce for the macaroni. He fried the beef with Mexican spices (sans the jalapeņos, which we can't eat) to spoon across the center of the macaroni, and fresh diced tomatoes on the top. Oh, so very yummy!
There were also fresh broccoli florets and carrot slices on the side.

Yesterday I made shredded chicken with chopped onion, adding equal parts honey BBQ sauce and marinara sauce (about 2 cups each), a teaspoon of cumin, and some spinach dip mix. It turned out really good. Like mild BBQ chicken.
(I put E's on a bun. I had mine in a small bowl with a few saltine crackers, to avoid the excess bread for my day.).
3 chicken breasts made enough to serve 24. I may put some in another bowl to freeze. E can eat the same food every day, but I like variety.

Tonight for dinner we are having Shepherd's Pie. I'm making it in the crockpot. Beef, carrots, sweet Vidalia onions, and cilantro seasoning and the mashed potatoes and cheese topping will go on towards the end. Yummy!

Kept it simple yesterday. Good old Pinto beans with ham hock and some fried potatoes. Rarely want beans in the summer but I think I'm getting ready for Fall as I also want stew which I usually think of as a winter dish.
