Hi everyone! I'm sharing 4 recipes on this post. Well, I actually got really lazy and the weather here in IE is very hot plus it was really  humid the whole week and I got sick and all. Another thing is our AC is not working well so it's very useless to turn it on when it only gets cold in our living room area. Plus not to mention the drama and whining of my "teething" 17 month old son. Ayayay! It was really a rough week.

All of these recipes have been successful because I did not have any left over for dinner. That's how I actually measure my recipe success. Before, whatever we have for lunch that is definitely what we'll have for dinner. But now "the man of the house"  have been getting really picky lately. Can you imagine! Geez! So I have no choice but to cook another dish for dinner. It pays off though because we have a diversion and meal time is not supposed to be boring. I also love how he would compliment my every dish, when upon tasting it and he likes it he would raise my hand and declare "champion". Our kids find it funny! He actually got that from his dad! lol

So here we go, each meal serves 4-5 people. I also buy them in packs, like not the ones where you choose which meat you would like and they weigh it. Packaged meats ranges from 1- 1 1/2 lbs. Because I think for me it is easier to store and organize them in the freezer.

1.5 lbs Pork ribs $6.50

1.5 lbs Chicken wings $5.41

1.5 lbs Rib eye steak (sliced) $10.41
