Hello, fall food!

Lemon-rosemary grilled chicken, mashed butternut squash, sauteed brussels sprouts, and the classic roll from a blue tube. 

Here we go again

Just as I got started cooking again I got really sick for awhile and didn't feel like doing squat.  But that's finally over, so here's the tamale pie I made tonight:

back online... for one day

We're all moved in to our new house, which means I'm cooking again.  Here's two dinners from this week, followed by a bonus shot of the sampler appetizer platter at Thai Awesome.  Oh, and I'll be out of town for a week starting tomorrow, so we'll be back on hiatus until then.

Some things I've cooked this week

This all goes in one post today because I'm just a wee bit distracted by not yet knowing what time my house closing is tomorrow!  Anyway, it's: German Apple Strudel (baked for the photo for my cookbook), chicken parm (and then close-up), pepperoni pizza, and Muffins Amazing (also for cookbook).

A recent favorite

Cashew-crusted mahi mahi, with brown rice and green beans.  I even plated it!

A good idea in theory

Turkey-cheddar-bacon-apple melts.  They needed less bread and more cheese, I think.

a couple of skillet dinners

Tuna "casserole" and chicken with broccoli and ziti.

Kittyfish

It's cod under all the crunchy spicy goodness.  And yeah, the official name on the recipe is "crunchy baked fish" but that's not what we call it. 

Pork with bourton-apricot sauce, and brussels sprouts with bacon and shallots

None of this was as good as it sounds.  I'm sticking to my old brussels sprouts recipe.
