Happy Sunday! In my last post I went through a long list of exciting things going on for us right now, but in the midst of all that good stuff we still managed to find time to try a new recipe this weekend. Yay! We technically tried our new recipe yesterday evening after getting home from a much-needed grocery shop, but who’s keeping track of the rules, here, anyway?
While cleaning out the fridge in preparation for a grocery run, I noticed that we had an extra frozen pie crust that looked a little lonely there in the freezer. I quickly racked my brain for meals I could make that would involve a pie crust, AND …

Last week flew by and we tried out the Smoked Gouda & Bacon Stuffed Pork Chops last Sunday but I never got around to updating  until now. Which is ok, because coincidentally instead of trying something new this weekend, we chose two previous favorite recipes from our Sunday dinner adventures thus far and took the ingredients over to my brother and sister-in-law’s house along with my parents to share what we’ve been up to in the kitchen.

While it may appear we’ve already veered off course, it’s not because we forgot; yesterday Lucas and I were so busy cleaning the house to get ready for our lovely house guests this week that we just didn’t have time. In fact, on Saturday when we were at the grocery, we commented on how we’d probably have to skip our new recipe tradition this week. As sad as that is, especially since I was so excited about trying something new & …

So Lucas and I started a new tradition recently and we thought it would be fun to share it with everyone else. Every Sunday, besides the normal doing-no-work-and-relaxing part, we’ve decided to start expanding our culinary repertoire by picking out a brand new recipe, grabbing all of the ingredients fresh, and then trying to cook it together. Note that I put “trying” in that sentence, because we’re sure that while our cooking adventures will be full of lots of awesome, it will also be fraught with some failure. It’s inevitable. And that’s ok, because we’re learning!
The idea is that each week we’ll type up a post to share what recipes we used for that Sunday’s menu. …
