I'm thinking I might pick up a rotisserie chicken at CostCo today. I'll turn it into greek chicken pita sandwiches. Today is one of those crazy days, orthodontist, swimming, and my parents arrive tonight......I am glad there is no CGS today.

We're in a quandry too. We don't have enough leftovers for dinner but people will be in and out tonight to pick up their GS cookies so we can't run to the commissary and the cupboards are bare. I guess it will be Chinese?

I am trying a new crock pot pork roast recipe. It has a curried chutney sauce. Haven't picked sides yet - probably something that tastes good with sauce, like potatoes...

Thick cut pork chops on the grill and TWO sides of asparagus as the commissary had green and white asparagus at the same price - taste test time! I've never had white asparagus as it's usually too, too expensive so I'm pretty excited. We'll probably have mashed potatoes as well and a radish/cucumber relish plate on the table, all were on good sales today.

We had a baked potato bar, green beans, cherry tomatoes, and steamed carrots and broccoli. It was use it or lose it day for many things in the fridge.

The greek chicken pitas sound yummy.

Ham and penne, which is far more fabulous than the name suggests. Think parmesan cheese sauce. I would make it more often if it wouldn't kill us.   

I made a salad, and ate three grapefruit because they are SO good. The kid had grapes and made faces at my grapefruit. More for me. Mwahahahaaha.

Our pork roast was incredibly good. Here is the recipe:

Slow Cooker Chutney Pork Loin

I used about 2 tablespoons of chutney and the rest was Apricot Simply Fruit preserves. I used a boneless pork shoulder.

This is so easy...and it's so good I would serve it to company!
