New Favorite Quick Meal

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite quick meals.  All you do is broil the asparagus for a few minutes in olive oil and salt and pepper.  After that, crack a few eggs in the middle and let them cook.  Finish the whole thing off with some lemon juice, and you have a hearty pan full of deliciousness ready in about 10 minutes.  The lady loves it too.

Spring is here.

Spring is here and it is time for something healthy.  I made a green bean and lentil salad.  The secret ingredient is barley.

Italian Monday

It had been a while since we had a big cooking night.  I decided to make spinach tortellini and pizza with Italian sausage, mushrooms and blue cheese.  The crust was homemade with just a touch of cornmeal.  We ate leftovers for lunch.  it made for a good week.

Pizza Night

A long week and a particularly tough Friday combined with ladypant's new job called for a celebration in the form of pizza night. The crust was a standard french bread recipe with the addition of olive oil and about half the yeast.  The toppings were mushrooms, caramelized onions, blue cheese and mozzarella cheese. One pizza had homemade pesto for the sauce, the other had tomatoes instead.  Only the tomato pizza got photographed. The pesto pizza was gone before a photo could be taken.

Filet Minion

Sometimes simple is overrated.  Sometimes cheap is overrated too. So we splurged on filet minion.  I prepared it with a red wine reduction.  I served it with asparagus tossed in a red wine vinegarette. Everything was simple, yet delicious.

Cauliflower salad

Today, we mainly had leftover arroz con pollo from yesterday, but we needed some vegetables too.  Thus, cauliflower salad from Simple Foods. 

Arroz con pollo con pollo

It's been a long time. Ladypants has been working nights, so there hasn't been much cooking. However, she has switched back to days. It called for a celebration, so I cooked arroz con pollo. It was delicious and fun.
