What's For Dinner Wednesday
What I put in the crock pot yesterday ended up not being dinner. Instead, we replayed some recent favorites.
Gameboy is addicted to the pepperoni rolls. I made dough before running errands this afternoon, figuring that he'd have that and Chef and I would eat the shredded Tex Mex chicken. When I got home, however, I realized that Gameboy had helped himself to most of the pepperoni I'd earmarked for it. As I tried to figure out what to do (use that shredded chicken or something else, Chef said he'd rather have pizza, anyway.
Cool. There was enough pepperoni for a half size roll and I could use the rest of the dough for pizza. Out came the ingredients and twenty minutes later, this is what we had:
Ed ended up having my original meal for tonight, Shredded Tex Mex Chicken. My thought process was to make pulled chicken, but in an enchilada sauce. The first taste told me it needed *something*, but I hesitated on putting more cumin in it. I love that flavor, but too much in a recipe and you end up with gritty food.
Tonight, I added some salsa verde and salsa. It tasted much better than the enchilada sauce alone. I had a sample on a flour tortilla with cheddar and sour cream. I still need to tweak that, but you may see photos coming to a What's For Dinner Wednesday soon.
