Fresh and Tasty Summer Sausages

Prep: 20 minutes

Cost: $11

Yes, this meal was as good as it looks.

I made a great Greek salad as our vegetable source. Lots of red peppers, onions, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, black olives, and feta. Olives and feta were both on sale for $0.99 per hundred grams this week!

Our starch was yellow skinned potatoes with fresh chives and green onions from our garden. Yum!

Our protein was Chorizo sausages cooked on the barbeque.

For dessert, we had watermelon because that is what you do in the summer.

Our setting was our beautiful patio, although a couple wasps annoyed me very much!

Slow Cooker Strikes Again

Cost: $12

Prep: 20 minutes +

I haven't brought out the slow-cooker for a while, and parts of it were good. Specifically, the roast beef was great. Very tender! It was huge, however. I could have bought one about 1/2 the size. We ate sandwiches for days after and eventually had to throw some away.

I made a great gravy to go with this, and Matt likes to eat his roast with the onions from the slow cooker.

I also put potatoes in the slow-cooker, and they were gross. So let's not talk about that.

Steamed green beans were served as the veg. Yum!

For dessert, Charlie ate his weight in watermelon. I also ate his weight in watermelon. Matt, however, ate his own weight. It was an expensive dessert.
