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

Ginger Lime Flank Steak

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Yet another recipe inspired byEveryday Food: Great Food Fast. We're coming to the end of the ones we marked, so new cookbooks o' the month or so coming soon :-P The flavors in the marinade were hardly noticeable, but any longer and the lime ...

Pan-Seared Lamb Loin Chops

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

This was a very easy and flavorful meal. I was making a Costco trip today, mostly to get aluminum foil, which I failed at. They're doing some re-jiggering and have a large section of what used to be freezer aisles cordoned off and empty. The freezer rows ...

Emma went to the groomer today and came back supersoft and nicely brushed. She loves going to the groomer, and they love her too :-)

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. ...

Grilled Buffalo Bacon Burgers

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

This was a tasty and easy summer meal for a lovely sunny day :-) Doing the low carb thing, we used lettuce for our buns, which worked out very nicely. We didn't miss the bread at all, which was a very pleasant surprise. ...

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 ...

Ginger Lime Chicken Thighs

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Yet another recipe inspired by Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast. This was good, but probably not enough to repeat again. The flavor combinations were somewhat new to us. Neither of us is much a fan of retail curry powders, so I made my own omitting some of ...
