Chicken Bruschetta and a Good Start

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

One of our standbys, bruschetta chicken for dinner tonight. A last hurrah of summer and a welcome to autumn! This is a great healthy meal that is very satisfying. I signed up for Weight Watchers on September 1st, and meals like this fit in very well with the plan. ...

Lemon Herb Chicken Thighs

Monday, September 13th, 2010

I made this recipe again tonight, with the only change being that I used a whole small head of garlic (about 6 good sized cloves) to make the paste to put under the skin. I let them marinate for 24 hours in the fridge, and again the infused flavor ...

Teriyaki Chicken with Brown Rice and Stir Fried Veggies

Monday, August 30th, 2010

A quick and healthy meal tonight: stir fried teriyaki chicken, savoy cabbage, and broccoli. I heated a little canola and sesame oil in my wok, added the sliced cabbage, stir fried for a minute to brown, then added water and steamed for another 2 minutes to wilt, then removed ...

Even More Stuffed Zucchini

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Just a small tweak tonight. I realized that I was out of tomato sauce after being quite committed to making this for dinner, so I added a 15 oz can of diced tomatoes and about 2 tbsp of tomato paste and boiled off the excess liquid. It worked ...

Cobb Salad

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

There are probably as many variations of Cobb Salad as there are people that make it. This is the version I made tonight. Avocado is pretty traditional, but sadly the one I had in the fridge had gone mushy and grey :-( Blue ...

More Stuffed Zucchini

Friday, August 20th, 2010

I made a big pan of stuffed romanesco summer squash tonight, following my previous post. Very good as usual and the leftovers will get me through the weekend :-)

Roasted Veggies and Chicken

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Dinner tonight was simple. I preheated the oven to 425 degrees, then sprinkled chicken thighs with salt, pepper, thyme, and cayenne and popped them in the oven. I cut up about 1.5 lbs of romanesco summer squash, 1 lb each of broccoli, cauliflower, and yukon gold potatoes, and ...

Stuffed Eight Ball Summer Squash and Tomato and Cucumber Salad

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

For 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!

40 Garlic Clove Chicken

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

This 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, 2010

Tonight'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 ...
