Swiss Chard & Spinach Pie

 

When I was younger, we went to the farmers market every weekend-no excuses.  We used to sell coffee & tea.  We loved going every week, and part of the reason was that we got to purchase spanakopita’s from a local bakery.  We would buy and eat plenty of them-they were up on our favorite snacks!

Baked Chicken Nuggets

Chicken fingers, among sandwiches, are one of Gavin’s favorite foods.  Chicken nuggets come pretty close, just because they are practically the same thing.  I’m not even joking.   It’s not unusual for him to order them when we dine out.  It’s kind of embarrassing-which is why I like going out for sushi.  Totally justifies itJ.  He’s such a kid at heart-I can’t help but love him!

Spicy Roasted Shrimp Sandwiches with Chipotle Avocado Mayonnaise

I never was a fan of sandwiches until I met Gavin.  His love for them made me appreciate them more and more.  He’s what you would call ‘a sandwich connoisseur’-he’s sooo opinionated about them.  His standards for them make mine high.  I think our favorite is a Chicken Clubhouse sandwich from a local restaurant in town-this is the best sandwich you will taste.  I wouldn’t attempt to recreate it because it’s so good!!

Chipotle Bourbon Barbecue Pulled Pork Sliders

This meal has two things that I rarely cook with-alcohol & my crockpot.  I don’t know why it interested me to begin with; perhaps I wanted to try something new.   I know crockpots are supposed to be convenient, but I get so worried that mine will burn down my house (irrational, I know!).  I’ve expressed my feelings in previous posts.  Still trying to remedy this-it’s so hard!!
