For dinner on Friday, we had one of the new FRESCHETTA PIZZAMORÉ™ pizzas. We had the 10-topping pizza, and it was extraordinary! I highly recommend this pizza. It is nearly equal to a fresh take-and-bake pizza. The crust, sauce, and toppings are first-rate.

For dinner on Saturday, I made beef fajitas. I sautéed sliced Jalapeños, sliced red bell pepper, sliced white onion, and sliced garlic (one head, of course!) in extra-virgin olive oil, seasoned with sea salt, ground black pepper, cumin, and ground Cayenne pepper. When the onions were caramelized, I added thinly sliced sirloin and stirred. At the table, we built fajitas with the mixture, using warm flour tortillas, sliced avocado, crushed red peppers, and Crystal Extra-Hot Louisiana Hot Sauce.

Sunday evening, I made Barilla thick spaghetti and marinara sauce. Laura sautéed Italian sausage in extra-virgin olive oil, while I sliced red bell pepper, white onion, white mushrooms, and Roma tomatoes. I added four tablespoons of minced garlic and handed the mixture to Laura. Laura added it to the sausage and stirred, seasoning with sea salt, ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Laura then added a package of baby spinach and stirred. The sauce simmered for an hour, and Laura added a jar of Classico Roasted Garlic marinara sauce. I cooked a package of Barilla thick spaghetti until al dente, drained, and placed in a large pasta bowl. I poured the sauce over the spaghetti. Laura incorporated the spaghetti into the sauce and took the bowl to the table. At the table, we added crushed red peppers and DiGiorno grated Parmesan cheese. A quantity of leftovers followed Laura to Chico this morning.

For those of you who are eagerly awaiting my report on the SAVU Smoker Bag: You shall need to wait a week. We did not employ the bag last weekend.

Friday evening, we ordered a Chicken Garlic Supreme pizza from Round Table Pizza. It was delightful. I thinly sliced a habanero pepper. It was a wonderful condiment. We enjoyed the leftover pizza for brunch Saturday morning.

For dinner Saturday, we had grilled top sirloin, asparagus, and mushrooms. Laura manned the grill and did an excellent job. We each managed to eat only half of our steak.

Sunday, following service at Harvest Christian Center, we visited my mother and had a brunch with her that Laura prepared. Here is Laura's recipe:
Tasty Turkey Wraps

Sunday evening, I sautéed sliced white mushrooms and whole garlic cloves in extra-virgin olive oil and Cajun seasoning. When the garlic and mushrooms were cooked, I added the leftover top sirloin steaks and pan-seared them on each side. I baked some sweet potatoes. It was a delightful meal.
