A strange thing tends to occur when I’m left to eat dinner on my own — I think its something I picked up from my dad — I tend to come up with some different creations.<\/p>\n

I usually take advantage of knowing Laurie won’t have to eat what I fix, so I tend to pull things out we might have left over that I know she won’t likely eat later as well.<\/p>\n

Tonight was no different. As she rushed off to St. Arbucks I cooked up some turkey meatballs we got from Costco and made a super tasty sauce to go with them.<\/p>\n

The sauce was made of canned jalapenos, sliced green onions, HEB BBQ sauce and a bit of water to thin it out.<\/p>\n

Topped the meatballs and sauce with cheese and I had quite a tasty meal (and lunch left over for tomorrow).<\/p>\n

I also made some homemade chips with some left over corn tortillas. I basically cut the tortillas into quarters, splashed some EVOO on them, added some salt and cajun seasoning and baked them at 350 for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

They tasted great but the texture wasn’t quite right on most of the chips. But some of them got just the right heat, oil and everything else and were superb. Now if only I remember what I did differently with those chips :-).<\/p>\n

NOTE: The tortillas in this picture were only stand-ins for the real tortilla chips. The real ones were still “getting their tanning on” when this picture was taken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
