What's for Dinner? - Page 169

Going to meet up with our mountain biking group, so we will probably bring a couple of brats to grill, artichoke dip or something to share, and some hard cider.

Chips and dip

And a nice tri-tip

No idea. Just us at home so probably the same ol' crap.

Now comes the part of the party I hate....

8-Hours of cleaning and cooking to get everything ready.

Starting with:
Making a double batch of custard soup to put in the ice cream churn
A quadruple batch of Fajita marinade to use with the Beef, Chicken and Shrimp.

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Place in a zip lock bag with one skirt steak (about 1 1/2 pounds). Let stand on counter 1 hour, turning occasionally.

The lime zest in place of lime juice is the key.

I had to work but the kiddos had burgers, chips, hot dogs, watermelon, guacamole - all the usual stuff.

Marinated tri-tip (Costco consistently has great meat), baked taters, and corn-on-the-cob. Stuffed but happy.

Tonight is leftovers to help clear out the fridge. I plan on making chicken chili this weekend and baking something. Not sure what just yet, really want to make some bread.

We really shouldn't admit to using Hamburger Helper, but this really works.

There is a marinated tri-tip which we love from Costco, but of course the smallest we can get is usually 2-3 pounds. We we make a great dinner out of it and then cut the leftovers into small pieces and use another night with the stroganoff HH. Yeah, a non-boxed stroganoff would be better, but since we both work late and have long commutes, this makes for a great solution.

Is it obsessive that I created a spreadsheet to plan for Sunday Dinner?

I don't know. Sounds reasonable to me.
