Beans, dip, football and herbs…

Saturday night Eric and I weren’t feeling too hungry for dinner since we were snowed in and weren’t to active all day.  I made greenbeans amandine again, which I think I added a little too much lemon juice this time, though Eric appreciated it.  I like just a little more than what is called for in the recipe.

buffalo chicken dip for the SuperBowl party and leftovers

Last night for the Colts vs Saints Superbowl game, we went to a friend’s place in Fishtown. I made a double recipe of the buffalo chicken dip to bring, and between that and pizza, we had the perfect makings for a Superbowl Sunday!

(Congrats to the Saints!!)

Also It’s been a while since I’ve checked on the Aerogarden, and it’s always a surprise to see how much bigger it was since I last saw! The chives are starting to get out of control, and everything is starting to get pretty big and bushy! *Still* not ready to be used for cooking, but we’re definitely getting close!

Aerogarden around week 5

This coming week will be a busy one, I think tonight will be our only real “down-time.”  Tomorrow I’ll be having a few friends over for the evening, and I’ll be making the chicken in a pot again!  What a nice and easy thing to make and share ^_^  I might be hunting for a different side dish other than rice and beans… These friends were at the Poconos and had the big chicken kiev dinner!  Some variety would be nice!

Snow day, going through pictures

Snowed in on this Saturday Eric and I got to poking around our photos and I came across a few I’d like to share.  My cooking and baking has been all over the place in the last year, but these are some of my favorites!  Pancakes, crepes, cupcakes, cakes, candy and dinner… I recommend not looking on an empty tummy.
