Our oven broke this week...again. We have had to have the electrical panel replaced 3 times in the past 5 years. It usually goes out around holiday time- while we are using both ovens & cooking overtime. This time, there was no warning, it just quit working. I hadn't even used it that day. So since I have been unable to bake, I have done lots of grilling and stove cooking. Not really a big deal. It's pretty hot to use the oven these days.
Here's what I've been making this week, nothing fancy...
Crock Pot Shredded Barbecue Pork
Throw a pork roast into the crock pot with some barbecue sauce & let it cook on low all day, until tender & shreds. Serve on a bun roll with some cole slaw. Yum!
Falafel Pita Wraps
Use a falafel mix to make the falafel- super easy- cook in oil on the stove.
Stuff with tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, lettuce, red onions
Falafel is made from ground chick peas & is fried in oil. They are really good, trust me! It's a common Middle Eastern cuisine- they sell them in little street stands there.
Tzatziki sauce is a yogurt dill sauce. I make it with plain Greek yogurt, a little dill (fresh if you have it), garlic salt, lemon juice & a little pepper. Peel & dice a cucumber & add it into the sauce.
Pasta with Philly Cooking Cream
Have you tried this yummy sauce yet? It's in the dairy section at the grocery store. I like the savory garlic flavor. Cook some pasta, & drain it, mix the cooking cream into the pasta, toss with some grilled chicken, diced tomatoes, fresh herbs and toasted pine nuts. Simple, delicious meal.
