Beet Penne - xx

Tonight's supper was a fail. We tried this roasted beet penne recipe and realized that we don't like beets. And it would seem that him and his mom have an aversion to beets. So that was a fail in this house. but for people who like beets give it a shot! I'm sure it's really good if you like them :)

Sloppy Joe's - ***

After coming home from the long weekend I certainly wasn't up for cooking a big meal. I found this sloppy joe recipe online: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sloppy-Joes-II:

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 3 teaspoons brown sugar
• salt to taste
• ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, onion, and green pepper; drain off liquids.
2. Stir in the garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, and brown sugar; mix thoroughly. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

It was quick and easy and not bad. It tasted better for lunch the next day too. The only changes I made: I only had green onion and I didn't have green pepper, so I substitued one and omited the other.
