Chicken Potato and Kale Stew

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

A hearty and healthy meal for a rainy evening, this was inspired by the contents of my fridge and the ever helpful interwebs :-P , mostly this Cooking Light recipe, and this Food Network recipe. While Shaun and I both enjoyed the chicken and potatoes and ...

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 ...

Tortilla de Patatas – Spanish Egg and Potato Omlette

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

This is classic Spanish home cooking at its best - simple ingredients come together to make a dish greater than the sum of its parts. I've been seeing recipes for these around a lot recently, and finally decided to make one myself. My primary inspiration came from Elise ...

Lemon Garlic Chicken

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

This tasty chicken recipe is inspired by one I found on Elise's Simply Recipes. I modified it to include some side veggies in the same pan and for our tastes. The potatoes are a little bit on the carb-y side for our month-long protein and veg health kick, ...

Garlic Smashed Potatoes

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

These garlicky potatoes were an easy and flavorful side. I pan seared a large rib eye steak and finished it off roasting in the oven along side some brussels sprouts before carving it up. The potatoes I baked yesterday as I'd originally been planning this meal for then, ...

Rosemary Garlic Oven Fries

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

These are a decent side dish - easy and flavorful. The inspiration for these came from Shaun describing "smashfries" from a place called Smashburger in Grand Junction. Mine are a sort of thin steak fry, and I've gone the oven route for ease and saving of some calories ...

What We’ve Been Eating

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

So, I've been a bad blogger and not really posting about our meals. There have been a lot of tried and true recipes with the occasional small twist, so not much new, but I'll post a bit of a summary anyway. Galbi with Sautéed Summer Squash and Rice Pork, Mushroom, and ...

Grilled Pork Chops

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

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 ...

Easter Meals

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

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 ...

Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Another dairy-filled dinner that Shaun wouldn't appreciate tonight. I'll have leftovers for lunches for the rest of the week too :-) This is some great comfort food - warm and filling. Sometimes I'll layer thin slices of bell pepper in with the potatoes and pretend ...
