Slow Roasted Top Round Roast
Sunday, February 6th, 2011Tonight's dinner was adapted from this one on AllRecipes. The high heat followed by very low and slow works well for tougher cuts of beef like top round. While it will never be as tender as a porterhouse or rib eye, it is still good. I served ...
Baked Cod in Ginger Wine Sauce

Chicken with Cherry Tomato Sauce
Friday, January 28th, 2011Another chicken recipe adapted from this month's Cooking Light. This one was pretty unremarkable - not bad by any means, but very forgettable. Oh well.
