What's for dinner?

Since this post, I have had trouble finding the desire to cook. We have been eating out WAY too much, throwing random food together at the last minute, or just snacking. I have made a few meals, including the ones that I referred to in that last post about meals. Actually I made them probably 2 (or more) weeks ago, just never got around to posting about them. In between the meals I am about to critic I threw in 2 batches of our new favorite meal, so you cant really say that we are STARVING to death, but i could do a much better job at preparing a proper meal!

So here goes:

Chicken Piccata with peas

This dish was OK. That's about as good as I can give it. I'm sure it has the potential to be really good, but my version wasn't that great. Too much lemon was probably the culprit, I don't think I will be making it again anytime soon.

Beef with snow peas served with coconut rice

This one was AH-maze-ing! Well except for the coconut rice, and I didn't cook the snow peas long enough. Actually I substituted sugar snap peas for the snow peas, and I didn't cook the SUGAR SNAP peas long enough! But the beef in this dish made up for everything else that went wrong. I will definitely be making this one again........and so should you! YUM!

Sea Bass with risotto and salad

This would own a place in the weekly menu if I didn't have to sell my car to pay for the sea bass!
Is Halibut cheaper? If so I might try it with that fish, as suggested by PW. It was just so tasty all around! Kaylee really liked it too, I just wish I couldve afforded a bigger piece, we all would've been much happier! The risotto makes a great side dish for almost any meal, and I can make a KILLER salad, so that meal was top notch in my book! And it was fairly sinple to make too.

Chicken Parmigiana with broccoli

I was totally supposed to make this dish and I just never did. So I cant say much except that it sounds good! I will let you know when we try it and what we think.

Pioneer Woman you did it again!

We had our annual Christmas brunch with some of the closest family friends. It is held at a different family's house each year, and everyone brings a dish. Usually MOST of the dishes are breakfasty casseroles, most of which I cant eat. This year I decided to take a break from the traditional and I made the bacon wrap jalapeno thingys. And they were a huge hit! Try taking them to your next pot luck!
