Weekly Menu #14

July 15, 2013

Pasta Alla Carbonara – This was a super easy and yummy dish!  I love taking a very standard dish of basically bacon/eggs/cheese and using pancetta/eggs/pecorino romano makes it seem so much more chic.  Paired with a light salad this is the perfect meal. 178 180 192

Sunday Dinner: Rib Eye, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Sauteed Zucchini and a Butter Lettuce Salad

Skillet Glazed Pork Chops with Caprese Couscous – Trader Joe’s boneless pork chops are a great option for a cheap and easy dinner.  It’s $5 for 5 cutlets and they cook in under 5 minutes.  Doesn’t get much better than that! Except for when you top them with a maple/dijon glaze 🙂

Orange You Excited to Try This?

February 6, 2013

I am a HUGE fan of seasonal produce and when I saw this amazing recipe by Small Kitchen Chronicles for a Blood Orange Salad I knew I had to try it.

All it takes is:

– 2 Blood Oranges (peeled, pith and ends removed, sliced)

– 1 Navel Orange (peeled, pith and ends removed, sliced)

– 2 Tablespoons chopped Red Onion

– 1 Oz crumbled Goat Cheese

– 2 Tablespoons roughly chopped Raw Pistachios

– 12 julienned Mint Leaves

Arrange everything in a pretty way and top with a dressing of 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil and salt/pepper.
