Yawn

Once again, here I am apologizing for not posting. But, hey, I have an actual follower! Hi Rich =)

I at least have a good reason for being neglectful, hubby has been traveling a lot, and so has my camera.


moving on, here are a few from the Indian feast hubby made me. He has a real knack for this.









And here he is cooking for me =)

A slow week.

All of my lunches have looked like some variety of this.

Although tomorrow's lunch should look different...the last salad didn't survive an unfortunate fridge avalanche.


Wednesday's dinner

Veggie Burger (from Costco, very good) with garden and quinoa salads



Somewhere in there was another spaghetti and turkey meatballs requested by guess who, but I refused to take its picture.

Fancy Pants Weekend

Hubby and I got discount passes to see the King Tut Exhibit at the Discovery Times Square Expo. FYI, it was incredible.

Afterwords we had dinner at our favorite NYC spot. Cibo.
We were seated in a private, romantic, dark booth. Nice ambiance, but makes for sucky pictures.



Pork Turnover (for hubs of course, but I had a bite, and it was awesome).


I had a roasted beet, graprefruit and goat cheese salad, but couldn't take a decent picture of it.



Main Course:


For the Hubs.
Seared sea scallops, roasted eggplant porcini mashed potatoes, lime leaf coconut milk reduction




And for yours truly
Sauteed basil crusted cod fish, garlic roasted tomatoes, caramelized onion escarole



And, of course

Tuesday

Cavatelli with mixed veggies in red sauce.

Not exactly the prettiest, or the healthiest. I don't know if this has come up, but hubs and I are living with my parents. I do the cooking, but they decide the menu, which, inevitably is pasta, pasta, pasta. Catatelli was their "non-pasta" ideal. I'm in a food funk.

I'm still here....

just being lazy. Here are a couple while I'm getting back on track.


Poached Flounder with Spinach and Quinoa

I was a little leery of the flounder, last time I cooked with it we spent the next day dealing with a fishy smelling house. This time I poached the still frozen fillets in water seasoned with lemon juice and some herbs. No smell at all, and the fish stayed quite moist. Win!



Turkey Bacon, Avacodo, Arugula and Tomato sandwhich on whole wheat bread, with roasted green beans.

Well,

so soon in the game and I've been slacking off. I apologize. Although, I'm not sure who it is I'm apologizing to. My sole reader also happens to be the hubby...and if needs to refer to the flog to figure out what he's eating, I'm in trouble.

So, I'll leave you with just a few highlights from the past few days, while I figure out how to better manage floggy.

Friday Morning Breakfast

Hubby's Famous "Toad in a Hole"

For us, this is what Toad in a Hole is, a fried egg cooked in a piece of toast. All I can say is thank god I never ordered it out. To the rest of the world, this is Toad in a Hole


A lovely mix of take away Chinese for Mother's Day


And, finally

Homemade Turkey Meatloaf with Mashed Red Potatoes, and Roasted Carrots and Radishes.

Can I just say, OMG. Where have roasted radishes been my whole life?

Wednesday/Thursday

Thursday
Dinner

Cavatelli with Peas


Lunch

"Cabbage and Straw"



No pics from Wed., but lunch was more leftover lentils/mash, and dinner was whole wheat pasta with cabbage and potato (seen in Thursday's lunch pic.). The recipe is based off of a Rachael Ray recipe called

"Cabbage and Straw".
