Hello again! Since coming back from Chicago, the cooking has been on and off at home because we've been doing some special activities like hosting a friend and going to the State Fair of Texas! This isn't back to sharing a week's worth of food, but I'm sharing a portion of what we grilled this past weekend.
We had a friend over who grilled with my husband and we all ate dinner together. It was fun and delicious.
Six Pork Kabobs: $24.00
2 pounds of BBQ wings (approx 14-15 pcs): $18.00
2 pounds of honey soy wings (approx 14-15 pcs): $18.00
5-6 lbs Beef Galbi (not pictured): $100.00
Home Fries (not pictured): $8.00
Total: $168.00
Tax: $13.86
Grand Total: $181.86

This grilling extravaganza was definitely a splurge for our friend and us. However, we had a lot of fun cooking and eating together.
For the honey soy wings, I followed this recipe. We ended up grilling the wings instead of baking in the oven so it may have added to the varying result. The comments on the recipe raved about it and how great the flavor was. Honestly, I didn't think it was that amazing. Tasty, sure, but definitely not the best wings I've ever had. The BBQ wings were an improvised recipe my husband did on the spot with barbecue sauce and honey. I actually liked the flavor in his wings better.
The skewers were made up of bell peppers, onion, and pork tenderloin. I was pleased with how they turned out, but surprisingly enough, I actually wished I had more grilled onions and bell peppers. That's the power of smoke and charcoal...
This was a very delicious meal. It made me want to grill marinated meats more often. I don't know how much my body can handle it as we went on a semi-vegetable detox after this meal. But I'm learning more and more how to enjoy good food.
As promised from the last post, I totaled the cost of all our "takeout" food from the first three quarters of 2025. The grand total came out to $2,619.24!
