Stuffed Eight Ball Summer Squash and Tomato and Cucumber Salad
Friday, July 23rd, 2010For dinner tonight, I made my stuffed summer squash with some fun and delicious eight ball zucchini from my CSA box. For the side, I made tomato and cucumber salad. This was a great summer meal!
Butter Braised Cabbage
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010This recipe for butter braised cabbage was a quick and easy, but not very good side dish. All I could taste was the butter; it just overwhelmed the cabbage. I like butter, but not that much. Shaun wasn't a fan either. We won't be repeating this ...
40 Garlic Clove Chicken
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010This is a first take on the famous 40 garlic clove chicken recipes out there. I started with Alton Brown's recipe, which was okay, but I was wishing for more garlic flavor in the chicken. Next time, I think I'll add the step of marinating with a garlic ...

Roasted Veggies Galore and Chicken Piccata
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010Tonight's dinner was mostly a selection of great roasted veggies from my CSA box - beets, cauliflower, broccoli, patty pan squash, and one Italian squash that I missed throwing into the chicken stew. I also made a little pan of chicken piccata, skipping the flouring step, and just putting ...
Herb Rubbed Pork Ribs with Cherry Zinfandel Barbecue Sauce
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010Tonight's dinner came from the pages of Sunset. I used frozen cherries in the sauce and omitted the mustard, and cut both recipes by about 1/3 to go with the one rack of ribs that I had. I thought this was just okay, kinda greasy, and Shaun didn't ...
Italian Chicken and Vegetable Stew
Monday, July 19th, 2010This incredibly tasty meal was a result of me looking into the fridge, grabbing a bunch of things, thinking vaguely about bruschetta chicken and my Italian vegetable saute and the fact that bacon improves just about everything, and ended up with this great stew-like concoction. Italian Chicken and Vegetable Stew Serves 2 ...
