Goulash and Rigatoni (in two separate meals!)

I made what I think is the best goulash I’ve ever made the other night. I used my usual recipe, except I didn’t use the tomato sauce, and when I added the tomatoes to deglaze the pan, I let them reduce for awhile. And I used about double the paprika than usual. It was SO good. We all stuffed ourselves almost sick.

Tonight I made rigatoni with italian sausage and salad. It was quite yummy.

Birthday Dinner

Today is my daughter Sylvia’s 11th birthday. In our family, the birthday girl or boy gets to pick dinner on their birthday, no matter what it is.

Sylvia picked Krab-with-a-K, shrimp, smoked salmon, cheese and crackers. So that’s what we had. And I’m STUFFED. It’s time for cake in a few minutes, and I just have no room for it.

Eating convenience foods – alone!

Well, I haven’t been posting, because I haven’t been cooking. My little kids are in Texas with their grandmother, and Alyson (my teen) is at my mom’s for the week. I’m completely alone in the house! I’m surviving on canned ravioli. LOL

But, I do have to recommend the Boston Market meatloaf frozen dinner. Quite yummy.
