#smokersaturday

Phil bought a smoker during quarantine so we have decided to put it to good use. This week he smoked a bacon wrapped pork loin with a dry rub and smoked mac and cheese.  This was probably the best mac and cheese I've ever eaten and we were able to save to freeze in these containers for another time.

Sunday

Favorites 
Unwrapped egg rolls with black soybean noodles
I've been dying to try these noodles since I saw them at Aldi (check out that protein and fiber content!!) so this was the perfect recipe
- used a bag of broccoli slaw and a can diced water chestnuts
- also used a lurking 3/4 bottle of teriyaki sauce

                                                 

Monday

Grilled steak, aspargus and instant potatoes- nothing fancy but delicious all the same

Froze some extra of this Super high protein sweet potato and black bean skillet a couple months ago and pulled it out to serve over rice tonight.  It was still delicious, and the perfect amount for the 3 of us once we filled these containers
