In a household, I find often that one spouse is considered to be the chef in the house. In ours, we've got a co-chef thing going on. I tend to cook our dinners, while James is the breakfast artist. He's brilliant when it comes to morning cooking! So brilliant, in fact, that he's made such fantastic breakfasts over his extended weekend that we skipped dinner a few times since we had such filling, tasty breakfasts and late lunches. Therefore, you'll see a couple repeats from last week.
And for those of you interested, breakfast this past weekend was red potatoes sauteed and tender-crisped in olive oil with fresh, julienned spinach and shredded parmesan thrown in. He added eggs over-easy to the top of the pile w/a dash of salt and some pepper. And on mine, more parmesan. Always, more cheese.
This was really good! My only suggestion would be to let the pork marinate longer. Because this recipe doesn't have you do this at all. The cooking time was just a touch too long for the pork, and the vegetables did not need the extra ten minutes as stated in the recipe. Once you conquer the squash, it's all gravy (or greens) from there. (I conquered you, Butternut Squash. Me and my M80 knife!) Previous statment is a movie quote- who knows it?:)
Tuesday: Mardi Gras! Ever year, our church staff throws a fantastic party on this evening for the church volunteers (James works with the Facilities Council, I with the Caring Ministry). We have a babysitter and are ready for some tasty bites and wine!
Wednesday: Pork Pot Pie
Thursday: Chicken Salad w/Avocado Dressing
Friday: Tuna Sandwiches w/Ruffles
Sunday: We have a Groupon for a delicious Vietnamese restaurant in KCMO.
Happy cooking- have a great week!
