Dinner Again...Happy Day

I’m 2 for 2 today.  Jd had a meeting to go to so I was on my own for dinner.  I tried another recipe that had looked good.  Chicken, garlic, snow peas, basil, and peanuts….how could it go wrong?  It didn’t fail me!  I didn’t have jalapenos (and I don’t like them anyway) so I used ground chipotle pepper. Worked better I think.

Dinner Accomplished

I keep spending hours looking up new recipes, only to buy the ingredients and never actually make them.  Then tonight I came home to the best hubby – he had prepared all the ingredients for the steak quesadillas and black bean avocado salsa, including putting the salsa ingredients in a bowl for me to pour into the serving bowl, and had the oven all ready to go!  We fixed it up together and it turned out delicious.  We’ll definitely eat this one again.

Thanks to Everyday Food magazine (I have a hard time wanted to say thanks to Martha Stewart, just not such a fan…but it’s a good magazine and has great menu ideas).  Luckily all the recipes are now available online so I don’t have to keep subscribing to more paper.

If you’re looking for something new to try….

Don’t they even take good pictures of the food? (except for the pink table that won’t look so good on the blog)

Oh well…yum.
