Past meals

I set this blog up just for fun and then promptly did nothing with it. But I ran across NaBloPoMo and figured it was good incentive to actually do something with this besides annoying my family with picture-taking.

So here we go. We just had open-faced sandwiches tonight, so no exciting pictures. Plus, I um, forgot. But here are some pictures from meals in the past few weeks.


Kashi Mediterranean Pizza


These are small, but pretty good. Like most frozen pizzas, though, the trouble is arranging all the toppings which have ended up in a lump in the middle. But at least with the Kashi pizzas, I can pretend like I'm eating healthy. Hey, it's got fiber and whole grains, right? That must count for something....


Pfefferbrötchen



This is my mother-in-law's recipe and is one of my favorite comfort foods, next only to my husband's Fried Pasta. These are hard rolls, stuffed with a mixture of hamburger, cheese, and onion, then baked.


Pesto Salmon


This was a spur-of-the-moment idea. My mother gave me some leftover pesto dip she had made and I was trying to figure out what to do with it. I took some thawed salmon fillets and spread the pesto on top, then baked according to some time & temp I found in a recipe online for something similar. Very very good and I would totally make this again. But then I'm a pesto fiend.

Pinot Noir Risotto with Rosemary Chicken


This is a recipe from Cooking Light. It sounded so interesting, I couldn't resist trying it. The risotto is made with an entire bottle of Pinot Noir. Now how can you go wrong with that? We enjoyed this one a lot. Definitely a keeper that would be good for entertaining, I think.


Spaghetti and Meatballs


Okay, nothing that interesting here. Whole wheat spaghetti with jarred sauce (Classico is our sauce of choice) with some turkey meatballs that were simmered in the sauce. Served with Texas Toast garlic bread. I love texas toast - too much, probably. Still, it's an easy dinner that is very good and very kid-friendly.


Pork Fattoush


Another recipe from Cooking Light which was both warm and cold, crunchy and soft and chewy. I used some Greek Pita Bread I found at Target which was much better than your standard pocket pita bread. Another keeper.

So that's it for now. Tune in tomorrow for a new dinner...
