Well things have been going surprisingly well.
On Tuesday night I made the chicken dish and it was fabulous! There are still herbs in my pots, so was able to take advantage of that; also some lonely pearl onions made their way into the dish. I can see me making this really often – easy and super tasty. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I had drumsticks, so that’s what I used, but next time might go for boneless, skinless chicken thighs and see how they do.
Wednesday night we had the “chuck tender medallions”; I seared them for about 3 minutes on each side then popped them in a 400-degree oven for about 4 minutes; we had them with roasted gnocchi and green beans. (Wait – roasted gnocchi? What’s that? Heh! Let me tell you about roasted gnocchi – one of the more delish sides you can make. I get a package of gnocchi (not the refrigerated kind) and dump them on a baking sheet that I’ve sprayed with cooking spray; drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt; then into a 400-degree oven for 35 – 45 minutes; I shake the pan periodically to roll them around. So Good. You could season them up with pretty much anything – sometimes I used garlic oil; but once you have them, you’ll be hooked).
Tonight – still not sure. Maybe spaghetti. Maybe grilled chicken Caesar salad. Haven’t quite decided yet, but there’s time.
(Besides, I always keep emergency cans of chicken noodle soup in the cabinet. Nobody will starve. And I could have one of the minions cook – if they’re home).
Can I come over to yur house for dinner? I don’t think that I am too popular downtown any more.
You have a new look! I kind of like it.
Thanks Els!! I was hoping for something a little easier to read; that last format was just so busy.
