It is 5,000 degrees outside and 3,000 degrees inside and I decided to make sloppy joes for dinner. I am the smartest woman aliiive.
What can I say, when a craving hits, it hits and sloppy joes popped into my mind around 3 p.m. today and wouldn’t get out.
I followed my super simple recipe (four ingredients!) and though I was disappointed we didn’t have any hamburger buns in the freezer like I thought we did, the meat was just as tasty bun-less, served in a bowl with roasted cauliflower.
Both Ryan and I loved this simple dinner.
I concluded this meal with some white chocolate covered pretzels to satisfy my sweet tooth.
After dinner it was time for Sadie’s evening walk.
Tonight’s walk was probably one of the most amusing walks we’ve taken with Sadie around our neighborhood thanks to two young boys we ran into who were walking their dog, Wiggles.
The boys were incredibly friendly (much like the face-hugger) and absolutely cracked us up. We walked our dogs together for a while while they said the most amusing things. When I asked them whether or not Wiggles knew any tricks, they said no, but that their other dog knows a bunch. The one boy said his other dog can “play dead. Really dead. Like an opossum.” We started laughing and he assured us that he was really good at playing dead, too. Sadie, on the other hand, never could master that trick.
Now we’re back at home and I plan to spend the remainder of the evening relaxing with Ryan and Sadie. Enjoy your night!

We have run into the “thought I had buns” problem too with sloppy joes. I just toasted some bread and had open faced joes instead!
I’m all about bun-less sloppy Joes – they’re even better!
What a fun night! I’m all about “bun-less” dishes, I actually like them better!
We did that a while back too! I hate when I think I have a specific ingredient and it turns out I don’t!

Out of curiosity, what size plates do you guys eat dinner off?
i have no idea what their measurements are, but they’re fiestaware that we got from my grandma. we have plates and bowls in all different sizes, so i just use whatever suits the meal at hand. this particular plate is actually a bowl.
I can’t wait to try this dinner! Im currently doing a whole30 and this recipe works great! minus the ketchup! 🙁
Kids are so funny! Sloppy joes are my fav! Even on summer nights 😉
WOW that’s living
Your Sadie photos consistently crack me up.
Hahahaha I love kids, they say the best things!
Just wondering, when Sadie was a puppy, how long of walks did you take her out on ?
she was so goofy and wouldn’t walk for a while! we’d take her out and she’s just sit down. 🙂 that quickly changed and we’d walk her a few blocks until she started to get comfortable with it and then we’d walk her 1 – 2 miles a day… now she can handle millions of miles like a champ. neverending energy!
I always keep buns in the freezer for just this purpose though I have to say that I can never manage to eat sloppy Joes on the bun. I made Sloppy Pizza Joes the other wee and ended up with a knife and fork.
I’m all about the bunless burger!! Trendsetting woop!! haha 🙂
Mmmm dinner looks good!
This Sadie face just cracks me up!
I made this for dinner last night and my husband and I LOVED it!! Thanks so much for the recipe…I’ll be making this for a long time to come!!
