What I Ate Wednesday - June

Pretty much since the dawn of Pinterest/me living by myself, I've planned my meals from the website.  Before I got back to Minnesota my mom & I agreed that we wanted to, for the most part, eat healthy over the summer.  We did eat more than just what I'm sharing with you today, & not all of these things are SUPER healthy, but here are the Pinterest recipes that I made in June.

Zucchini Lasagna.

This was bomb.  I will definitely make it again.  I love lasagna, let's be honest I love pasta in general, but this didn't leave me thinking, "damn I wish I had some noodles."

Dill Pickle Pasta Salad.

I love pickles.  That is no secret.  I think it may be a Minnesota thing because all of my Minnesota friends love pickles too & none of my friends from other states seem to understand my obsession.  I should probably do a post ode to pickles & the recipes I have made based upon them...  Anyway, I saw this & knew I had to make it.  I messed it up.  Even though I messed it up it was still delicious. I forgot to add the fresh dill & instead of 1/8 tsp of cayenne I added 1/2 tsp.  My bad!  Good thing my family likes stuff spicy...

Balsamic Glazed Steak Rolls.
So I wasn't a huge fan.  I'd definitely try them again though.  I'm pretty sure it was just the cut of steak I used.  I used 2 different steaks that we already had, neither were flank steaks, & pounded them out.  Mine was so tough I couldn't even really chew it.  My mom said that hers was really good & wasn't tough.  I was too frustrated & full from the other stuff that I just didn't even try another one.

Twice Baked Mashed Cauliflower.

Mashed potatoes are one of my weaknesses.  When I was in high school I would come home from work some nights & just make a bowl of instant mashed potatoes.  Of course when you add cheese and bacon to anything it instantly gets better.  When mashed up & with the stuff added in, I couldn't really tell a difference at all between that & loaded mashed potatoes.


Peach Blueberry Cobbler
So good.  But then again, when isn't cobbler good?  I had made peach cobbler plenty of times before but never peach & blueberry.  The flavors worked really well together & it was a perfect dessert...especially with some vanilla ice cream on top.


Pepperoncini Beef


Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread
This bread not only helped me get some over ripe bananas off the counter, it helped me cross off a thing on my 101 in 1001 list, make homemade bread.  Not that I hadn't ever done it before but it was probably high school the last time I had done so.  Next time around I wouldn't use as much cinnamon & sugar mix, but other than that it was really good!
