Long Time No Blog

It's been quite a while since I've posted.  It's actually been quite a while since I've cooked or baked!

Okay, I lied.  I baked an apple pie last week for Father's Day since it's my dad's favorite, but I've already posted about that here.  We grilled steaks for dinner, and I made a salad and roasted potatoes to go with it.  True to character, I forgot to take any photos.  Seriously, I am a horrible blogger.  I suppose I can post the recipes here, but you'll have to wait for my photos of the food.

Tonight for dinner I made tacos with gound chicken instead of beef.  Again, no photos, but I did blog about taco night here.  Both Ryan and I agree we prefer tacos at home with beef.  Now take us to Los Amigos, and we totally go for the chicken!  One of life's great mysteries.  ;)
