Hi all
I just wanted to share with you what a nice change of pace I had cooking this weekend. I know you can all relate. We had company so rather than cooking for just my hubby and myself, I was able to cook for 5 of us. Even though I didn't make anything too new and different it was just so nice because: 1--I was able to cook in a little bit larger quantity than I normally do for just 2 people and 2--it's not like I was doing it for the complements, but it's nice to be able to "wow" people with your cooking every once in awhile. This isn't to say that DH isn't appreciative--he is, but I guess it's just old hat to him anymore. (I hope that doesn't sound awful. I'm trying to cut out caffeine so I'm having trouble being articulate this morning! )
I was in charge of dinners. We had:
Friday--whole-wheat crust pizzas (shrimp and garlic, roasted vegetable white pizza, and plain). Mixed field greens, and cookies (incl. fall cut outs that I'll post a picture of as soon as DH downloads them) and ice cream.
Saturday--Chicken valdestano (chicken in a white wine mushroom sauce topped with proscuitto and fontina), butter roasted halved parsley potatoes, julienne stir-fry veggies and parmesean basil twists (rolls). Dessert was a cider oatmeal apple upside down cake with caramel.
Sunday--turkey sloppy joes with chedder cornmeal buttermilk biscuits.
All in all a fun and yummy weekend!
