Quick Roasted Vegetables
Friday, May 14th, 2010Broiling is a quick and easy way to make tasty roasted vegetables. The real flavors of the veggies shine with nothing to mask them. Tonight I made some brussels sprouts and zucchini to go along with some galbi. All I did was trim the brussels sprouts and ...
Lemon Garlic Chicken
Thursday, May 13th, 2010This tasty chicken recipe is inspired by one I found on Elise's Simply Recipes. I modified it to include some side veggies in the same pan and for our tastes. The potatoes are a little bit on the carb-y side for our month-long protein and veg health kick, ...
Local Veggies and Fruits
Thursday, May 13th, 2010I'm impatiently waiting for my local farmer's markets to open for the summer, and I'm already enjoying some local veggies such as asparagus from the grocery stores.

Pork Enchilada Scramble
Saturday, May 8th, 2010This is a result of leftover pork from yesterday. It would be equally good with leftover chicken, or fresh of either one - just cook for longer. All I did was cut up one of my pork loin pieces into small bite-sized chunks, heated up a little canola ...
Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Sauteed Leeks and Apples
Friday, May 7th, 2010Another recipe adapted from one in Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast: 250 Easy, Delicious Recipes for Any Time of Day (Everyday Food (Clarkson Potter)).

Chili-Rubbed Flat Iron Steak
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010This is a great recipe inspired by one in Everyday Food: Great Food Fast. The flavors are a combination of Mexican and Mediterranean, and they work well. I overdid the salt just a touch, and the cookbook's cooking time was a bit low, but other than that this was just ...
