New York Steak w/ Portobello Mushrooms
Risotto (Parmesan) Fresh String Beans Caesar Salad w/ Lemon Pepper Jumbo Shrimp Vanilla Ice Cream with Raspberry Compote YUMMMMMMMMMMM |
I decided to go with bbq chicken, made in the broiler. I lather up chicken breasts and drumsticks with bbq sauce and broil the crap out of them. For sides I have a salad, some corn and two "packs" of zucchini and squash cooked in tin foil packs with salt, pepper and olive oil.
|
I had Kraft Dinner :) Couldn't decide and definitely was not in the mood to cook.
|
what we are ending up with:
homemade "barbecue" pork (diced pork tenderloins in a homemade BBQ sauce) homemade mac 'n' cheese (a big fave around our house...one of the Great Foods) tossed salad |

remove and drain away the excess fat in the same pan, soften rough-cut (in big pieces) carrots, celery, peeled potatoes. 8 cloves of peeled garlic. And some herb (thyme or tarragon or combination), takes about 10 minutes. Add 1 cup of cream and 2 cups of stock, bring to a boil Add the chicken back in, cover, and simmer until cooked (40 - 60 minutes.) When cooked, remove chicken and veggies. With the stove on high, reduce the sauce a bit. Cut the chicken, assemble with the veggies, pour on some sauce, and serve. This is my favorite way to have chicken on a cold Winter night. |

A rather, er, fusion approach tonight.....
Some very yummy ahi shoyu poke, lightly seared and then mixed with some locally-made chowmein noodles. Accompanied by some homemade black bread and a tangerine from the neighbor's garden. Finished with chocolate dipped shortbread cookies |

Prosciutto, pepperoni and mushrooms. Made the dough with a little bit of wheat flour and baked it in my brand new pizza stone I got for xmas ;) |
I had a hot chicken sandwich. Yummy :)
