Pizza & Pork

Day 2: Frozen pizza...
It was one of those days.  I have to say though, Digourno's stuffed crust is phenomenal!  After church, we rushed home to get Jackson down for his nap so we could swim at Camp Loughridge.  We hadn't gone all summer and I was determined to go!  We got home at dinner time and it was nice to just pop it in the oven.  (The leftover mac & cheese was for lunch)

Day 3: Herb-crusted pork loin, parmesean zucchini & yellow squash, pan-fried herb potatoes--(pictures to come)Delish!
I mixed thyme, minced garlic, rosemary and basil in oil and rubbed it over the pork loin.  I think I overcooked it a bit...too dry.  I was following Paula Deen's recipe but hers was for 4 lb loin mine was a little over 1 1/2 lbs.  Its trickier than beef b/c you can undercook beef (esp. since Danny and I like rare steak)  but pork can't be undercooked.  I steamed the squash in the microwave.  (Just put a little water at the bottom of the dish) and microwave for about 5 minutes.  I added shredded parm and salt & pepper.  The potaoes were yukon gold, sliced into bite-sized pieces.  I pan fried them until golded crispy then added the herbs, salt and pepper to them.  It was a wonderful meal--with the exception of the too dry loin.  We had lots leftover, which provided

Day 4: Leftovers :)

I'm glad I didn't have to cook dinner tonight.  Jackson was something else today!!  He was whiney and super ornery with lots of tantrums today.  He dumped out his milk in Bed, Bath & Beyond, pulled my hair and stomped on my healing sprained ankle (on accident) but refused to say sorry.  He spent lots of time in TIME OUT and I was so glad when Danny got home because I was drained and needed my own TIME OUT!!!

I have to say, he was so cute this morning when I went to go vote.  He marched into the voting place and announced, "I wanna vope!" It wasn't as cute when we were leaving and he wanted "more vope" and then laid down near the door and refused to move.  I had to drag him out screaming "MORE VOPING, MORE VOPING!"  Ugh... good thing he's cute!
