Roast Pork with Rosemary and Pan-Roasted Potatoes and Carrots
An impressive meal — Who doesn’t like the sight of a beautifully browned roast? — that is easy enough to make for a weeknight meal.
Pesto-Rubbed Split Chicken Breasts and Potatoes
I made an unholy amount of pesto yesterday…(LOVE the fresh basil in the summer—love it!)….and there’s only so much pasta-with-pesto-and-vegetables even I can eat *smile*…. so I did a bit of research to find new ways to use it.
What is it with Fennel Seed?
What I mean is: it was like, outside of sausage, I didn’t know it existed. Ok….yes, not literally…but I never, repeat never, thought to take it down off the spice shelf and use it to *flavor* something. There were recipes I made (though not many) that called for it (mostly sausages, sauces or chilis)…but I never thought, “Hmmm, let me sprinkle some fennel seed on this chicken breast [or insert cut of meat here] for a change tonight.”
Grilled Porterhouse Steaks, Sauteed Snow-Peas and Scallion-Cilantro Rice
This is a great no-muss, no-fuss summer meal.
