Roasted Butternut Squash

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

An easy and delicious side. I got a two pound container of pre-cubed butternut squash at Costco and roasted it up. Some of it will probably end up as soup, if I don't eat it all first :-) Roasted Butternut Squash Serves 4 2 lbs pre-cubed butternut squash 1 ...

Steamed Artichoke

Monday, February 21st, 2011

I steamed myself an artichoke today to go with dinner. Shaun's not a fan, so more for me :-) Artichokes are easy to prepare - just cut off the top inch, trim the stem a bit, and steam for about 15-20 minutes, or until the base ...

Pork Tonkatsu and Singed Broccoli

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

Tonight I made my pork tonkatsu and broiled some broccoli to go along with it. I managed to forget about it for an extra minute or two, and it got rather singed, which left an interesting flavor - not bad, but not something I'll replicate on purpose :-P ...

Italian Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

I've done the Italian Stuffed Pork Loin before with a full pork loin, but today I did it with just a pork tenderloin, cutting the filling ingredients in half. It cooked in about 45 minutes instead of over an hour, and was just as good :-) ...

Black Bean and Ham Soup

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Tonight I made my black bean and ham soup, using up most of the leftover ham from a couple nights ago. This time, instead of onion powder, I grated a small onion and sautéed it in a little canola oil. The fresh addition was nice, so I've rewritten ...

Ham and Brussels Sprouts

Monday, February 7th, 2011

An easy dinner tonight: ham and brussels sprouts roasted in the oven for about 40 minutes. The ham was a delicious apple and honey cured ham from the local Hempler's.

Baked Cod in Ginger Wine Sauce

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011

For the Chinese New Year, I made an Asian inspired fish dish, based off of this one. We just weren't impressed with this. The cod I got was strangely tasteless, which didn't help anything, but the marinade just wasn't anything worth repeating either. Oh well. Can't ...

Italian Stuffed Zucchini

Last night I made
