Disney Delights

Yesterday, instead of making one of the recommended Lunches, I chose to eat the left overs from last nights dinner. I love shrimp, so didn't mind having it twice. The fruit salad held up as well. The secret I've found to keeping fruit salads fresher longer is to squeeze a small amount of lemon on them. That may sound weird, but it works and doesn't affect the taste.

For dinner, we had the pork chop dinner with Easy Parmesan Potatoes. The recipe called for Baja chipotle marinade, but I wanted something that didn't have as much of a kick. So, sticking with the same brand, I got Lawry's Mesquite Marinade with Lime Juice.

Harry thought the half pound boneless pork loin chop cut in half for the two of us wasn't enough, so he added two chicken breasts. We're currently using eMeals "Portion Control Plan for Two", and I wanted to stick with their suggestions, but didn't push it. 

The marinade was SO GOOD! The pork was actually tender, and the lemon added just the right amount of zest. The potatoes on the other hand weren't as good. We baked them in the oven as directed, but they didn't seem done. We put them back in for a few minutes, and they turned out hard and crispy. Oops! I didn't have many, but I know that if it wasn't for the slightly burned aspect, they would have tasted fine. I did however forget to snap a picture before I dug in. Sorry!

We started eMeals because we as a couple couldn't get it together and really have a plan for what we wanted for dinner during the week. We would go to the grocery store and buy what we thought would last for a week or more, finding out that it wouldn't last us but about 5 days. 

When I saw the deal on LivingSocial, I knew that we had finally found someone or something that would help us. You pay up front for the year, but I know that it's the best money we've spent all year.

Why do I already know that? Because we LOVE to eat out, and this is going to put a stop to that. I can't thank the people at eMeals enough, even after only 2 days! 

I am going to try one of their Lunches today; Turkey, Cheddar and
Bacon Sandwiches. I will write a review of that, as well as one for our dinner tonight.
