Arugula, Tomato, and Egg Salad

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

Shaun's off at a concert tonight, so I've just been foraging for dinner. I found a little arugula from last week's CSA box that I wanted to use, and I wanted to cook up an egg or two from this week's box as well, so I made this very ...

Whiskey Glazed Carrots

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

This recipe is via Ree, of The Pioneer Woman. I had a half pound of fresh baby carrots from last week's CSA box to use, and this was a good recipe to use 'em up. I scaled way down, of course - I only used about 1 tbsp ...

Island Spiced Pork Tenderloin and Sauteed Fava Beans

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Tonight's dinner was Island Spiced Pork Tenderloin, from Annie's Eats, sauteed fava beans, and a quick green salad. The pork tenderloin was okay, but if I make it again, I'll cut down on the cinnamon. It just wasn't quite what I was wanting, but it certainly has potential. ...

Chicken and Mushrooms in Garlic White Wine Sauce

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Tonight's dinner was inspired by a Cooking Light recipe. I chose to use whole skinless boneless chicken thighs, and I also omitted the pasta and the cheese. This was a very good meal, and one that I'll repeat again. We both love mushrooms and chicken, and the ...

Salt Roasted Vegetables

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

This is an easy, though time consuming, way to bring out the best of root veggies and potatoes. I had a bunch of beets, baby turnips, and potatoes to use up from this weeks CSA box before I pick up the new one tomorrow, so I made a lovely ...

Teriyaki Flank Steak with Snow Peas and Pineapple

Monday, June 28th, 2010

This was a decently tasty meal for me just winging it. I didn't like this teriyaki sauce as much as my usual version, but it wasn't bad. The peas were from my CSA box, and I steamed them for about 6 minutes to get them just crisp-tender. ...
