Pork tenderloin with red and yellow peppers, sauteed spinach with raisins and pine nuts, and a salad with goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, and walnuts. This was quick and easy and would probably be just as good with chicken.
RECIPES:
Penne w/ Proscuitto and Parmesan
Cavatappi with proscuitto and parmesan with a garden salad. This was a quick easy recipe, but it was just “nice.” You know when you meet someone and all you can say is, “they were nice.” That’s how this was. It’d be a lot better if you added some vegetables like asparagus, or broccoli, or mushrooms. But I was lazy and didn’t feel like cooking at all today and this took 15 minutes. So this “nice” dish just fit the bill. I obviously didn’t use cavatappi and went with penne instead.
RECIPES:
Shrimp Arrabbiata
Shrimp arrabbiata and a garden salad. This recipe said it was super fast pasta. It was exactly that. I used cooked frozen shrimp instead of fresh. The longest part was pulling the tails off. And instead of linguine, I used whole wheat spaghetti noodles. This was a nice quick dish with the red pepper adding a small kick.
RECIPES:
Japanese Tofu Patties
Tofu patties, with sauteed spinach in ponzu sauce, gyoza, miso soup, rice, and seaweed salad. The tofu patties I made with a mix Aya’s mom sends from Japan. I should have used a non-stick pan though. They are usually nice and round with a slightly golden exterior. The gyoza are frozen from a bag. So I don’t have any recipes for this one.
Garbanzo Beans & Greens
Garbanzo beans and greens, with a garden salad, and a cup of chicken artichoke soup from one of our local restaurants. I’ve only recently started eating kale, and at first, I wasn’t a huge fan. But the more things I’ve tried it in, the more I seem to like it. So it’s a good vegetable, it’s just not in my top three.
