Used the leftover fajitas from our early dinner out Wednesday and added half a red bell pepper sliced in strips since I had picked them out at the restaurant, don't like greens, and made dinner. There was a lot leftover, Craig had 4, I had 2.5 of the pictured and the pugs got the steak that was left in it after I picked it out. Oh, added some chunked avocado.

We went out.
Been having a craving for pierogies so that's what we had, along with some homemade strawberry ice cream for dessert.

Really tasty

With great reluctance, I decided to make Boston baked beans only without bacon and with hot dogs instead. I wasn't expecting much after my fiasco with beans last time (I used navy beans this time and the cooking instructions were different), but it has another 45 minutes to cook in the oven and OMG - I think I've got a winner with this. Yes, I'm tasting it as I stir it. Hopefully there's enough left to eat by the time it gets done.
I suppose I could have made this with Van Camp's beans in the crock pot and if I had, I'd have had one less casserole dish to clean up because I'd have used a crock pot liner. I'm also wondering if I could have just put the sauce directly into the crock pot and not cooked it, but I don't think I'd have gotten the same flavor.
As it is, I cooked the beans in chicken broth and sauteed the onions and then the garlic in the pot when those were done cooking. I then added ketchup, Wooster sauce, brown sugar, some apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, molasses, some spicy brown mustard, and ****** I forgot the liquid smoke to the onion-garlic mix and cooked until it thickened a little, then added all of that to the beans and hot dogs. Then it was all supposed to cook for 2 1/2 more hours in the oven.
Cooking the sauce wasn't that big of a deal to do, so I think next time I won't bother with the beans and just use Van Camp's, but I'll still cook the sauce before I add it all to the crock pot. And maybe next time I'll add the bacon and use the bacon grease to saute the onions and garlic. I can only imagine what 8 hours on low will do to this sauce. Yum.

We had baby back ribs, a pickle and BBQ beans.
Frozen Swedish Meatballs (meh..) over l/o rice (love my rice) with a l/o mushroom sauce I found in the fridge.

OMG - I think I've made the very best fried chicken I've ever made! DH caught a cold, so I've been babying him with soup (homemade Asian Chicken Noodle)...and tonight, thought I would make his favorite NC Fried Chicken. Decided to switch up the seasonings using a mix based on Chief's KFC seasonings...it was the bomb! Mikey loved it and we both agree he will be well by morning! Oh, we had mashed, gravy, biscuits and Ceasar's Salad too. We shared dish duty...normally his.... 
I finished off the last of the asparagus soup. I also had the other sausage from yesterday in a sandwich of wholewheat toast, red onion, lettuce, and mayo.

Looks delicious! I love how you made the most of the fajitas leftovers and added that red bell pepper and avocado, such a great touch. Sounds like the pugs got a treat too!
