Weekend Cooking Spectacular

First of all, I am ridiculous and like to over plan for cooking always. 
Secondly, I decided to talk Jer (aka Big Country) into cooking ahead for the following week so we both had delicious homemade food to eat. So we (slash I, in a slightly bullying fashion-❤️ YOU BC) made a list of dishes to make, divvied up our ingredients and then COOKED. We planned for three meals, but ended up making 2, which I was cool with. We also made a pumpkin pie, which I will share posthaste.
So, we made this Skinnytaste Sausage and Peppers Macaroni bake. We used turkey Italian sausage, a red and yellow bell pepper, and macaroni. Basically, we sautéed the sausage, added in onion, peppers, mushrooms and garlic, then a can of diced tomatoes and a jar of pasta sauce. This recipe is different in that you cook the noodles in th sauce so, extra easy, so extra DONE. I only took this one crappy picture of it but IT IS DELICIOUS. And cuts up easy for portioning out and whatnot. 
 
We also made the crock pot bourbon chicken, which I had made before, but BC wasn't there for that. Turns out though, he knows the lady that runs that blog which is actually pretty cool! 
We also, made this Fireball Whiskey Pumpkin Pie, which, I think we originally saw floating around Facebook, but also, someone had left the EXACT amount of Fireball in my fridge. PERFECT! 
 
So we didn't grill the pies because I was baking. The first pie crust is the one BC rolled out. 
 Obviously th terrible second one is mine. Ha! We pre-baked them. Or Par baked them? LISTEN. We baked them for like 20 min while the sausage macaroni was cooking. Then did the recipe (which, basically, is a pumpkin pie recipe plus fireball.)
 
 
Did I happen to take a picture of the pie when it was finished? That was not in my dirty oven? I did not.Because  eating pie. But here, enjoy this fireball bottle. 
 
Overall, an excellent weekend of cooking. More cooking adventures this week I predict!
