A Celebratory Dinner

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

Shaun had his last final of his first year of law school yesterday, so we had a celebratory dinner tonight - grilled thin cut ribeye steak, steamed king crab, sauteed mushrooms, and steamed zucchini. Yum!

Pays d’Auge Chicken for 2

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

This is a somewhat easier take on my Pays d'Auge chicken, inspired by the mushrooms and apple brandy of the Pays d'Auge region in France. As I mentioned wanting to try in that post, I've used boneless skinless chicken thighs here and reduced the quantity of sauce. I ...

Low Carb Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

This is a low carb take on my stuffed cabbage rolls. I replaced the rice with more zucchini and some finely chopped cauliflower, which worked surprisingly well. The filling was a little drier, but still quite good. Low Carb Stuffed Cabbage Rolls Serves 4 1 medium head of cabbage 1 lb ground ...

Chicken Cacciatore

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Chicken cacciatore today for dinner. A hearty and healthy meal :-)

Greek Chicken and Squash Kabobs

Friday, June 4th, 2010

This was a nice and easy meal, inspired by a similar one in Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast. I doubled the marinade amounts, omitted the onion, and probably about tripled the amount of other veggies. I also didn't bother with the yogurt and feta dipping sauce. ...

Barramundi Piccata over Greens

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Barramundi is a mild white fish that the store had on sale this week. I'm sure this would work great with any other mild white fish as well, like tilapia or even cod or halibut. The lemon caper piccata sauce complements the fish very nicely. This ...

A Hearty Lunch

Monday, May 31st, 2010

This was going to be dinner last night, but we ended up just foraging for some snacks. It made a nice lunch, though! Black Bean and Ham Soup with Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Chicken with Onions, Tomatoes, and Olives

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

Another recipe inspired by Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast (Can you detect a theme this month? :-P We went through these two cookbooks at the beginning of the month looking for good protein and veggie ones and went with it!). As usual, I upped the ...

Tuscan Baked Chicken

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Yet another take-off from an Everyday Food: Great Food Fast recipe. This was a very tasty take on chicken with some traditional Tuscan flavors. The fresh lemon juice lent a nice bright touch. I only had time to marinate it for about 30 minutes tonight, but longer ...

Garlic Marinated Chicken Cutlets with Asparagus and Potatoes

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Yet another good launching point from Everyday Food: Great Food Fast. I omitted most of the oil and all of the butter called for, and I cooked this in the oven, but I think the grill would add a great extra dimension of flavor. We added a little ...
