I eat to keep warm!

By -

It is so cold! I hate to leave the house without at least 4 layers of clothing on. And! I think that winter makes you hungrier so you can stay warm. Right? Rieker and I went to the chinese buffet jayne and I had gone to the last month. I knew my way around the place, which kind of surprised rieker because he did not know I had gone with jayne not too long before, on the other hand, I forgot that rieker wasn't the last person I had gone to that buffet with. haha By the way, he told me to lose the jitney hat look. I might have to agree,what do you guys think?



Not on the same day, believe it or not, but this past weekend,  we stopped by Aiello's Pizza in Squirrel Hill on the way to drop Anna off at the Battle of the Bands and the JCC. Who doesn't love their delicious slices and the bad attitude they serve there? Got a picture of rieker in front of Franco Harris's signed Aiello's t-shirt they had hanging on the wall. That place is one of the best things of Pittsburgh.

    I might have to agree with rieker. This hat looks a little small, or my cheeks look really big. not loving it. i need a bigger hat.

Chicken Carbonara Alfredo with Broccoli

By -
I roasted a whole chicken a few nights ago. I stuffed a couple of lemons and garlic cloves up it's bum and rubbed it with poultry seasoning. I made giblet gravy with the giblits, liver and a few hard boiled eggs too. The gravy was my favorite part. I shredded the leftover chicken tonite and used the creamy alfredo sauce packet that was in my cabinet. I threw in some bacon crumbles I keep in my freezer and some sliced mushrooms from Trader Joe's. I boiled some broccoli florets (on sale @ giant eagle) in the same sauce pan I later threw in some angel hair pasta. Dinner was made in less than 15 minutes!!! and cheap. So cheap.

Quinoa Pilaf

By -
Quinoa Pilaf 2 Tablespoons olive oil 1/2 onion, chopped or 1 shallot, finely chopped 2 cups quinoa 4 cups chicken broth 1 teaspoon parsley flakes In large fry pan with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and quinoa. Saute until the quinoa starts to brown and the onion becomes clear. Add chicken broth and parsley flakes and bring to a slight boil. Cover and reduce heat. Cook for 12 minutes, covered, until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, recover and allow to steam for another 10 – 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve. This recipe is from Goodcheapeats.com a great resource for once a month freezer cooking and menu planning Mondays. Also, I added chopped carrots to the recipe when sauteeing the onion and quinoa just to add a little color to the dish and to get some veggies in. Recipe from: www.goodcheapeats.com

Grate carrot into boiling water. After 10-15 minutes remove chicken. Cool, then dice. Add College Inn broth; bring to a boil and reduce heat. Beat 2 eggs, add Parmesan cheese to eggs and blend. Drop egg mixture into broth, stirring through with fork. Add drained spinach, meatballs, diced chicken. Simmer for 15 minutes Of course you can make your own chicken stock, but I just used the canned broth but I did use the lowfat, low sodium one. Also, the drier you get the spinach the less green the soup broth gets. MEATBALLS 1/2 lb. ground beef 1/2 cup italian bread crumbs 1 egg (blend above and roll into dime size meatballs) I cooked my meatballs before putting them into soup
