My simplified dinners this week worked out pretty well and hopefully I'll succeed with more simple meals next week. There were a few meals on next week's menu that we never got around to this week -- either Doug had a dinner meeting and we ate really simply, or a sporting event.
You may notice we're celebrating Oktoberfest a day late this year. Oh, well. With baby leaving for college and a death in the family, we just didn't get around to the celebration before now. I don't think anyone will complain.
Tuesday's Mozarella Chicken sandwiches from MyRecipes.com were delish. I simplified the recipe a little by omitting the roasted red peppers and the sliced tomato. I stopped at a local bakery to grab a loaf of Ciabatta and instead ended up with a loaf of Campagna, a crusty Italian loaf. I sliced it crosswise instead of lengthwise and toasted it before I broiled it with the chicken, pesto and cheese. I also grilled the chicken -- one less pan. The sun-dried tomato pesto and mayo was a great combo which I will keep in mind for other sandwiches.

i made the green beans, potatoes and sausage last week, with the only change being the green beans were canned from my mother in law so I didn't cook them as long. It came out great, along with the beer bread recipe made with beer my brother in law made. Thanks for the great recipes!

Oooh, homemade beer -- I bet that was good. And home canned beans -- you can't go wrong. Glad you enjoyed.
