Wine Wednesday

My blog's titled dinner, wine, & my spare time
So I figured it's time for wine! We can discuss my spare time later, after I finish this glass lol!

Here is my philosophy on wine
Box wine is good, there I said it! Wine doesn't have to cost more that $20 a bottle. Don't be afraid of twist-offs. I will drink $5 champagne (or to be technical sparkling wine). That being said any "champagne" less than $5 I will probably pass on! Yes, I am a sucker for pretty wine bottles.


For Thanksgiving I bought box wine, I decided to go with a little more upscale brand (upscale for box wine, it that an oxymoron?) Which gave me more flavor options. I wanted some pinot grigio and hubs wanted pinot noir.  What can I say we love our pinots :-)

Kale Yeah!

Oh Kale, when did you become so hipster? But it is pretty darn tasty too. So for dinner we had a nice kale salad 1 C kale, chopped 1 C Spinach, chopped 1/2-1 C Cole slaw blend with carrots 1 can of drained and rinsed white kidney beans 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped 1/2 purple onion, chopped lemon pepper to taste sunflower seeds toss with your favorite dressing So simple and yet satisfying, we completed the meal with a nice piece of buttered bread. YUM!

Peach on Earth

We had our Office Christmas Party the other day and decided on a three ingredient no-fail recipe! It always delivers and rarely leaves leftovers. Peach-BBQ Lil' Smokies 2-14 oz package of Lil' Smokies cocktail sausages 1-16 oz jar of Peach Preserves 1-16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce Put all ingredients into a crockpot, stir and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.  Serves 12-15, I would double for larger crowds.

Fast Food Fries

It's a fast food dinner kind of night, sometimes nothing is better than a large order of fries. It will cure what ails you. So what's your favorite fast food fries???
