lazy sunday

I was in a cooking mood today, and it was also grocery day, so that worked out nicely.  Here are three things I made: ham and cheese crescent rolls, green bean casserole (from scratch - campbell's had nothing to do with this), and monkey bread (decidedly not from scratch - it uses prefab biscuit dough).  I also made a chocolate pudding pie, which was also decidedly not from scratch, but will definitely be delicious.

Roast pork with fennel

Another fall favorite: roast pork coated in fennel and garlic, with potatoes, onions and pears

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.
