Lasagna

Monday, July 11th, 2011

This is my take on lasagna. It's somewhat lighter, but still packed with flavor - tons of veggies, chicken Italian sausage, low fat ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, mozzarella, smoked provolone, and delicious homemade tomato sauce. I froze most of this for lunches over the next few weeks, but couldn't resist ...

Chicken and Shiitake Stir Fry and Stir Fried Snow Peas

Saturday, July 9th, 2011

An easy and healthy dinner tonight using shiitake mushrooms and snow peas from my CSA boxes :-) This is infinitely adaptable to your tastes in meats and veggies. The sauce has a bit of a kick from the red pepper flakes, so omit them if you prefer. ...

Baked Chicken Noodles

Friday, July 8th, 2011

I took some leftover chicken noodle soup from lunch today, which I made with twice as many noodles so it was not very brothy, sprinkled the top with some breadcrumbs, and baked at 375 degrees F in an ovensafe bowl for about 30 minutes. It turned out quite good, ...

Pineapple Citrus Grilled Chicken

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

This is yet another iteration of a recipe I've been tweaking for some time. This version is a bit spicier, and very good :-) I serve this with corn tortillas and refried beans, much like the original inspiration, El Pollo Loco. Tonight I only made a ...

Happy Birthday to My Husband!

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

Today is Shaun's birthday, so we splurged a little and had some pasta with our turkey meatballs tonight. Tonight I used Mario Batali's Arrabbiata sauce, which has a nice spicy little kick to it. I was really quite impressed with this jarred sauce, and I'll have to try ...

Crockpot Roasted Chicken

Saturday, May 21st, 2011

This was a hectic week for both of us, so meals were a bit sporadic. Wednesday I roasted a whole chicken in the crock pot and it served for several meals. It got a little dried out because I had to leave it in for so long - close ...

Turkey Meatballs in Tomato Sauce

Saturday, April 30th, 2011

Tonight I made a variation on my turkey meatballs. I made the mixture, formed the meatballs, then placed them in a large saucepan and poured in a jar of one of our favorite tomato sauces, Newman's Own Marinara with Mushrooms. I thinned it with just a little water to ...

Chicken Francese

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Inspired by my friend Rachel, I went looking for a good recipe for chicken francese. This one by Tyler Florence got very good reviews, so I used it as my starting point. We liked this decently well, but it seemed to be missing something, and I'm not sure ...

Sweet Chili Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

This was a very tasty take on lettuce wrap thing. My version was inspired by this recipe. I've done Chinese chicken lettuce wraps that are a big hit in our house, and I think these will become a regular too with a little modification. The chicken wraps have the cornstarch ...
