What's for Dinner?
What's for dinner is exactly the question I had for Doug when he got home because tonight was take-out night and I am way to indecisive to decide on a restaurant. He felt like pizza and that sounded good to me!
Domino's Pizza
Oak Park, IL
Pizza nights are getting rough because I've already had several different kinds. I really wanted just pepperoni tonight, but I've already had that this year, so I decided to try pepperoni and green olive.
Grades:
Megan - A (Domino's might not be gourmet, but I love it. And green olives are great on a pizza in my opinion.)
Noelle - A (When I served Noelle she said, "Thank you for giving me pizza mommy." That melted my heart. Noelle loved it and ate her whole slice. She wasn't quite as into the broccoli and carrots I served her with it.)

Smothered
I think most meats are good smothered. Most veggies are probably better smothered too. Smother in cheese. Smother in gravy. These pork chops are super smothered.
Garlic Butter and Mushrooms Baked Pork Chops
recipe from: http://www.amomstake.com/easy-dinner-recipes-baked-pork-chop-recipe/
The picture on the blog shows the pork with just a little gravy and mushrooms on them. I prefer mine to be almost not even visible under the gravy and mushrooms.
These could not be easier. Cook them in the pan for a couple minutes, stick them in the oven, mix in some milk and voila - they're done!
Grades:
Megan - A (These had a great buttery, nutty flavor and were so so easy!)
Noelle - A (Noelle said, "Yay! Pork and Mushrooms!" Then I told her it was hot and she said, "I just want to eat this mushroom." She ate it and said, "It's too hot." When she likes it so much she can't wait for it to cool off, that's a win!)

Sandwich Sundays
Just like the soups are gone during the week, the Stew Sundays are also over. It's bittersweet because it means I have to make dinner on Sundays again. But it's awesome because we get sandwiches, and really sandwiches are the best!
Fig and Prosciutto Sandwich
recipe from: http://slowrobot.com/i/41325
I don't know if I've ever had a sandwich I didn't like.
These were delicious even though I slightly burnt the bread. If you read this blog, you know about my love of prosciutto. My perfect cheese plate pretty much consists of cheese, prosciutto, bread and dried figs. This sandwich is like the perfect cheese plate all wrapped up.
The ciabatta bread is thick and crusty so it makes it hard to melt the cheese without burning the bread. Next time I'd take the cheese out of the fridge and let it warm up a bit before putting it on the bread so it could get more melty.
Grades:
Megan - A- (I loved it, just wished the cheese was more melty.)
Noelle - B+ (Noelle was saying "Yummy, yummy, yummy in my tummy" while eating this. For some reason midway through she decided she didn't like the prosciutto and for that reason I dropped her grade down from and A. I happily ate her prosciutto and then she eagerly ate the rest. I don't know how I'll live with the idea of my daughter not liking prosciutto.)
