Pretty simple thrown together meatballs. Meredith heated frozen meatballs and then we tossed it with Roa's Tomato Sauce and zucchini noodles.
We may pre-make a ton of meatballs some day so we can throw this together ourselves!

We made grilled okra and then Trader Joes Orange Chicken augmented with stir-fried broccoli. As I noted last time, we baked the chicken which was easier.
For the okra, we skewered them and grilled them for about 4 minutes per side since they were big. I would say they still had some sliminess but it wasn't bad.
Since it has been so long since Meredith made the sauce, we couldn't remember if she used to do it in the blender or just by hand. She just did it by hand this time and I'm adding a note to the recipe.

I had ordered a "cheese steak" at a restaurant this weekend. While it was tasty in its own rite, it was very much not even close to a cheese steak (and it was not very generous). Anyway, that gave Meredith the idea to do cheese steaks.
We bought fresh shredded beef at Trader Joes. While the peppers were baking, we sautéd onions and then added the beef. The beef kind of clumped so we used two tongs to separate it. Meredith used the same seasonings as last time. Meredith also added shredded cheddar to give it cheesiness throughout. We did two peppers (four halves) stuffed and then two open face sandwiches. Topped them with cheddar slices and broiled them.
They were very good. Not quite what I would expect in Philly (including being less greasy which was nice) but still delicious!

Meredith made a Chocolate Zucchini smoothie from Ambitious Kitchen (LOCAL). It was reminiscent of zucchini bread

I made Armadillo Eggs for the Holiday themed Gluttonfest. I used three tubes of sausage and about 1-3/4 cans of peppers and about 1 block of cream cheese. It made 22 of them. I miscounted and thought the first tube made 8 so I tried to get 8 from the second and it was tough. It is much better to just wing it.
I tried rolling out the sausage with a plastic-wrapped rolling pin and it didn't help much. Doing it by hand was better.
I baked them initially at 350°F and then finished them at the Pettit's house at 375°F until they were fully cooked (by temp). I didn't note times.
They were delicious as always!

Meredith made Zucchini Bread [Alexandra Cooks] again replacing some (~2/3rds this time) of the oil with apple sauce (like 2020-07-26). It was still very good! This recipe is a winner! This was in addition to Armadillo Eggs for the holiday themed Gluttonfest
Caroline also helped.

I made Creamy Spinach Artichoke Orzotto [The Kitchn]. I followed the recipe except used Romano cheese instead of Parmesan. I couldn't taste the difference and thought it was very good. Meredith didn't like the Romano.

I started a batch of Beet Pickled Eggs. I followed my dad's (updated) recipe. He updated it from what I did before. I followed his new one but ended up topping it with 1 cups of water to fill the container.
I will update (or make a new post) when they are finished.
I steamed the eggs for 15 minutes and then shocked them in ice water and refrigerated them. I used 15 in the beet eggs. We ate two of the others. One was super over-cooked with a green ring around the yolk (yuck) and the other was perfect. So I guess we will see....
