Sunday main meal was kind of good! Bone in split chix breasts, and the dark meat guy(ME!) got thighs. Marinated in olive oil, red wine vinegar,water,garlic,onion, salt,redpepper,basil&oregano. Baked for 1-1/2hrs at 300F, uncovered-for crispy skin.
The side today was cauliflower-steamed for 5 minutes then cold shocked with water. I make a lighter Alfredo sauce to go on it before baking like this; butter melted in sauce pan, add flour black pepper and salt. Milk next, bring to simmer stirring often. When it thickens I add grated Parmesean and Romano (Both the real deal!) and a touch of garic. Pour on cauliflower and bake along w/chicken for 30 min. uncovered. Rasberry muffins w/butter (I bought 'em!).
Dessert was simply a box fudge brownie mix that I added cherry extract, cherry juice and chopped marchino cherries to. Simple and tasty!
The rest of the day was spent pis*ing and moaning about the weather!

The chicken and cauliflower sound heavenly!
Can you write a cookbook for me? ;)
mmm, cauliflower with alredo sauce! that sounds delicious. i don't think i've eaten them that way. i ADORE cauliflower. do you ever use the purple kind?
and by alredo i meant alfredo.
Why was it only kinda good? Sounds great to me!
We had hutspot yesterday. It is a Dutch dish you might be familiar with, where you boil carrots and potatos. I saute the onions, but sometimes people boil them too. And then I always serve it with a smoked sausage (Healthy Choice, because my husband and I are watching our weight, lol). It was great, considering the weather.
Finn-If I ever do a cookbook,it will be one of those rambling, short story, tale-telling types that I find more fun than the straight up here's-the-recipe Chemistry 101 books!
Pink-Never used the purple ,but would love to if I ever see any around here!
Lynda-Hutspot mit no lo-cal Mettworst? Honestly-I dislike the spice mix in Mettworst! I grew up eating Dutch type cooking, and around here, that meant boiling veggies until dead!
Yum! Why is everyone having scrumptious desserts these days? : (
i'll take the fudge brownies please.
and the massive amounts of snow.
wow that all sounds good even raspberry muffins and I am no muffin fan. We should get a food mailing club going and when things are seasonal and available in our areas we share..at least by sending you some purple cauliflower.
Jen- My dessert that day was a guy getting rid of leftovers from the Holidays!
Tanya K- The simple things come out better than they should sometimes! And the snow- well we have kinda had it around here with it....
Dog B- I think the stuff is available, I just never thought to use it!
