Our favorite this week was definitely Thai Lettuce Wraps. I made up the recipe as I went, but they were sooooooo good. Better still was that my 2 year-old-with-allergies could -and DID!- eat them.

I took pictures as I went and posted the recipe: http://muddybootsblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/thai-lettuce-wraps.html

We’re fans of the sweet potato fries, too. So easy to make and give that crunchy, starchy texture with the benefits of higher nutrition. When Braveheart and I were courting, my future mil and fil were traveling on I-80 from California to their home. She said to him, “I want to go to Idaho.” When my future fil balked, she said, “I don’t care if it’s 150 miles out of our way; I must meet the woman who got Jimmy to eat a sweet potato!”

Those Sweet Potatoes sound great. I can’t wait to try them.

I have to say our favorite recipe last week was the Asian Chicken Noodle Soup, which has been requested again this week, but our Creamy enchiladas were a close second.

I agree with you about not using the oven, at least not inside. I have one of those large roaster ovens that I keep outside, so along with the Grill, I don’t have to heat much inside the house during summer. Also, since we get over 100F weather here in Texas, it saves on air conditioning as well.

I cannot tell you what our favorite recipe was last week since I didn’t really use any recipes but our favorite meal was when a pizza dinner complete w/ice cream and pie for dessert was delivered to our door as a surprise! What a blessing, the boy was especially happy because it meant that he didn’t have to stand outside and grill the burgers and dogs that I had planned on.

That slow roasted chicken sounds really good! I’ll have to try that for one of our crockpot meals soon.
