Cornflake Chicken and Roasted Asparagus

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

Another favorite of ours, tonight I made cornflake chicken for dinner tonight. I added about 1/4 tsp of season salt to the cornflakes, and the extra flavor was very nice. After half an hour of cooking the chicken, I popped a pan of asparagus spears in the oven ...

Dinner tonight was Galbi (Korean grilled flanken cut short ribs), roasted zucchini, and roasted chanterelle mushrooms. The chanterelles are in season here in the northwest and these were locally foraged :-) Good stuff!

Roasted Pumpkin with Shallot and Sage

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

This recipe is modified a bit from Everyday Food. I roasted it at 300 degrees F for about 2 hours so I could do it at the same time as the last bit of the brisket. This was just okay. I'm going to try pureeing the leftovers ...

Texas Oven Roasted Brisket

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

This recipe is a conglomeration of one from my mother and a few I found on the web. The brisket is coated with a flavorful dry rub then slow roasted for hours. The result is tender, delicious meat that goes great in sandwiches, tortillas, or on its own ...

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

Tonight's dinner was another standby, beer roasted chicken. Tonight I just did salt, pepper, and garlic, and served it with a tossed salad - arugula, romaine, cucumber, and tomatoes. Good stuff :-)

Salmon Omelet

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

I had a little leftover salmon, hollandaise, and an egg white from last night's dinner, so I added one whole egg this morning and made myself an omelet. An unusually delicious way to start off my morning :-)

Salmon en Papillote with Hollandaise Sauce

Monday, October 11th, 2010

I love preparing fish this way - it's so simple and really lets the fish shine. This works equally well on the grill too. I made a very small batch of hollandaise, as it's quite rich and I didn't want any leftovers sitting around. Salmon en Papillote ...

Pot Roast

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

Tonight's dinner was pot roast. I followed my usual recipe, except that I cooked it in my big deep covered lodge skillet at 250 degrees F in the oven for about 4 hours instead of using the crockpot The chuck roast I got this time was bone in, ...
