Another tasty stand-by dinner of ours, beer roasted chicken. To save some dishes, I put some little fingerling potatoes in the rimmed baking sheet. They stayed dry and got pretty crispy throughout the cooking process, only getting a little beer and chicken baste at the end as I ...

Tonight we had chicken piccata with some roasted sweet dumpling winter squash and roasted broccoli. The broccoli paired especially well with the piccata and I'll definitely pair the two in the future!

Another tasty standby dinner of ours, I just roasted the little brussels sprouts in the same cast iron skillet as the lamb. I got some nice boneless chops this time, so a bit less work to eat while still very flavorful.

Very similar pickings to the summer boxes so far :-) The winter boxes are different in that rather than having a separate fruit box and veggie box, I just pick the 12 items in my box from the entire list rather than 4 fruits and 8 veggies.
Pears-DAnjou

The other part of my treat yesterday for meeting my first weight loss goal was a half dozen Quilcene oysters. These were a little harder to shuck, as barnacles had stuck decent sized rocks to a couple of them, but I did quite well and didn't lose too much ...
