Misc. Stuff...

I found a creme brulee torch on clearance at Marshall's. I got the torch and four ramikens for $12!  I'm excited about making brulee with fruit and thought it would be an easy quick dessert to make. However, some of the recipes I looked over suggested chilling the brulee overnite for best results. We ate it that same day and it was delicious.



  Jayne is a stud! She's got mad style. Love the boots and bag, and her shirt....I loved everything. I bet she got it dirt cheap too!

Matty & jayne's new marble dining table. Look how pretty the table is! Matty grilled the italian bread and brie on his charcoal grill. Unbelievably delicious. Jayne's cupcakes taunted me all night long. The salad, believe it or not, was just as good as the cupcakes. Tommy and his new sous chef jayne. I was fired. Jayne set a gorgeous table. The star of the show, tommy's chicken piccata. Oh yeah! yummo!

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

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
