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 ...

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
