Chicken with Onions, Tomatoes, and Olives
Saturday, May 29th, 2010Another 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, 2010Yet 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 ...
Product Review – Hillshire Farm Turkey Smoked Sausage
Friday, May 28th, 2010Last night we were both just exhausted for no good reason. Luckily, I'd seen a Hillshire Farm Turkey Smoked Sausage in the store and picked it up. We like the regular smoked sausage, but it tends to be very greasy. This turkey version is just as flavorful ...
Emma and the Bottle
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010Like many dogs, one of Emma's favorite impromptu toys is an empty plastic bottle. She likes to remove the cap and try to chew out the bottom. We don't let her get that far, but she loves trying!
Garlic Marinated Chicken Cutlets with Asparagus and Potatoes

Chipotle Pork Posole
Monday, May 24th, 2010Another winner inspired by Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast. This soup was easy and very flavorful with a`few additions - more garlic and some traditional Mexican spices. This was a little too brothy - next time I think I'll only add one cup of water, if that. Chipotle ...
Breakfast for Dinner
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010An easy dinner tonight - some of our favorite sausages, scrambled eggs, and some fresh tomatoes.
Sauteed Shrimp with Tomatoes and Arugula
Saturday, May 22nd, 2010This is a recipe inspired by one in the June 2010 issue of Everyday Food. I upped the veggies and the garlic to match our tastes. It all works great together! I broiled some zucchini for a second veggie side. Sauteed Shrimp with Tomatoes and Arugula Serves 2 generously 1 ...
Beef and Veggie Stir Fry
Friday, May 21st, 2010This was a quick meal thrown together with some veggies I had to use up. It turned out quite well. Beef and Veggie Stir Fry Serves 2 generously alone, or 4 when served with rice 24 oz thinly sliced beef steak 1 medium broccoli crown 1/2 medium cauliflower crown 1 lb small button mushrooms 2 tbsp ...
