I also made this tonight to use up some more of the lamb and to have for a couple lunches this week. It turned out decently, but not outstanding. I started with my basic risotto recipe and stirred in a quarter cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, a ...

This was an experiment to use up some of the leftover lamb roast. It was okay, but the lamb didn't really mesh well with the other flavors. Next time I might try a more Mongolian blend of spices, but for this set of veggies and seasoning, I'd suggest ...

This was an easy dinner that hardly qualifies as a recipe. I bought some center-cut bone-in pork chops on sale, sprinkled them liberally with Montreal Steak Seasoning, and put them on the grill over medium low heat for about 20 minutes total, turning halfway through. I also put ...

For breakfast I fried some eggs and deli ham and put them on toasted sourdough english muffins. A quick and filling breakfast. We also hard boiled some eggs, but no pictures of those.
For dinner, we had prime rib with some boiled potatoes and roasted broccoli, much like our ...
