Only two new recipes this week. We had a repeat on Monday night, leftovers on Thursday, and were traveling for the weekend. One recipe was a dud, one was a definite keeper. Both were budget-friendly.
Simple Portobello Pasta {Budget Bytes}
Simple Portobello Pasta {Budget Bytes}
Meh. Not bad, not great. Honestly, just not a lot of flavor or texture. We ate all of it between the two of us at dinner and leftovers the next day, but I don't think we'll be having this again.
MAJOR winner here. I used thin, center cut pork chops and baked them at 425 for 30 minutes. I ran them under the broiler for 2ish minutes on each side. They probably could've baked for only 20 minutes since they were so thin, but they were great anyways!
The creamed spinach was leftover from Monday night's dinner {a repeat of Budget Bytes' Egg Florentine Quesadillas} and I just used dried thyme in place of rosemary in the roasted potato recipe. The potatoes cooked in the oven with the chops, so they only took about 45 minutes, instead of the one hour in the recipe.
Bon appétit!
Bon appétit!

I MUST try that first pasta dish, we love mushrooms and I bet its delicious...anything I have tried from your recommendations, I have loved!
I love budget bytes in general. I recently made her peanut chicken and it was excellent. I also tried her spicy mac and cheese and it was not good. I actually threw it away. Too many calories in mac adn cheese to waste on one you don't like.
