How Was It?/What's for Dinner? 2/6-12/12

Monday: Nando's
Tuesday: Honey-Soy Salmon with Spinach & Peppers
Wednesday: The Worst Japanese Food Ever!
Thursday: Chicken Spinach Noodle Casserole
Friday: Salmon Fillet & Roasted Broccoli
Saturday: Navy Bean Soup & Beer Bread
Sunday: Steak & Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

Chicken with Proscuitto, Asiago Cheese & Fresh Sage is always yummy. The last step in the oven to make the cheese melty and proscuitto crispy went much longer than the recipe suggested, this oven and I are still coming to terms. The kid even liked it more than in the past.

Mini Meatball & Noodle Soup: I really should start this earlier in the day so I don't rush the meatballs. There isn't much to them, sausage filling and breadcrumbs, but they start getting not so mini and cooked too fast the last couple of batches. I have figured out a different more spoon friendly noodle, but I am still tweaking the volume. This round was a little noodle light.

We will ignore the middle part of the week under the heading of we did not have quorum for interesting cooking.

Frittata: Possibly our best frittata to date. We are more a quiche crowd, but pie crust doesn't really help with any nutrition goals so improvement in frittata production is probably a win. This one was Potato, Spinach & Ham. I cheated and used some hash browns from my freezer in place of thinly sliced new potatoes and again patience was the name of the game with the oven. Cook til golden, timer just reminds you to look at it.

  1. Sounds yummy! I like the idea of subbing hashbrowns. Glad it worked out!
