Asian style barley

This post is going to be very short because of a softball injury I am having a hard time typing anything involving the right side of the keyboard.  However, I feel that with all this bread posting lately I have strayed off course.  I do not want this blog to turn into a self depreciating […]

Lemon quinoa

I hate it when I cook something and there is nothing self-deprecating to write about.  I have been staring at my computer screen typing and deleting such wonderful thoughts as the apple is red or the green spaceman jumped bail.  Normally in these situations I turn to my wonderful friend Mr. Coffee but even he […]

Grilled Meditterean style chicken in foil pouch

The streak is finally over with and Jeff has grilled.
This recipe also contains the evil boneless skinless chicken breast that I despise and constantly badmouth.  However, in the freezer cleaning spree I happened to come along a pack of them and was not going to throw them away so pouch cooking it is.
My major complaint […]

Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry with Hoisin Sauce

Like this dish this post is going to be quick and to the point.
Stir frying is one of those things that is simple but easy to screw up if you are not prepared.  The main thing to remember is everything needs to be cut up and in arm’s reach because once you start it turns […]

Steak and Black Bean Stir Fry

The joy of losing power for 4 days is that everything in your refrigerator/freezer has to be replaced.  Thankfully I have two freezers in the garage that I use for meat so the freezer inside the house did not have much.  The items I did not want to lose (stocks and sauces) I was able […]

Quinoa with cannellini beans with a herb dressing

This dish is something I concocted because of softball. I always want something lighter but that is going to provide me with a good amount of energy to make it through a couple double headers a week.
I do like to keep it on hand in the fridge for a quick snack throughout the week at […]

Tequila lime chicken

Back to freezer cleaning we go and this meal was another package of chicken thighs that dear god how did I manage to acquire???
We are in full fall swing with 60s and all that good jazz so I decided time to fire up the charcoal grill.  One pure joy of the charcoal in the fall […]

Roasted pepper chicken

Last week marks a sad day for me and probably one of the lowest points of the whole year.  Yes I am being overdramatic however, the garden got ripped out which makes me sad.  Peppers were overabundant, along with tomatoes, and always the jalapenos and habaneros have me wondering how much hot sauce I can make […]

Grilled butternut squash soup

I have another confession to make (I feel like I should convert to Catholicism for as many confessions as I make on this blog) and that up to a couple years ago I despised squash.  My hatred ran so deep that I would walk by the grocery store and cuss at them and tell them […]

Chicken Quarters with lemon and rosemary

First off before I start rambling I have been seeing a lot of bloggers out there posting pictures of their gardens and I felt left out.  If you don’t know I love to garden in fact it is one of those things I look towards every year spring.  This year I had in my front […]
