I remember reading about it but I sure can't remember who it was shanny. Let us know how it turns out cause I'd like to give it a try! Sounds yummy!! Welcome to a fun place with wonderful people!!
Tonight I did seared scallops and shrimp with a citrus/ginger glaze, garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus.
I'm really angry at my oven's pathetic excuse for a broiler though; I really need something that gets about 3 times hotter, so the scallops were overdone to my taste, but I was really happy with the glaze. I used orange, lemon and lime juice, honey, some brown sugar and ginger soy sauce with a bit of Thai sweet chili sauce, reduced down to a thick glaze.
The asparagus was frozen, but I was very happy with it as well, I think it's a vegetable that if frozen well really holds up.
The meat and cheese lasagna was super delicious last night, h had extra pork & beef meatballs with lots of gravy (sp. sauce), Italian bread and salad. We still have leftovers. Maybe one day this Italian girl will learn how to cook for 2--not. Sent a large tray of baked ziti to the drs. office this morning for their lunch break, since we never made it there last week.
Tonight I am making split chicken breasts, not sure how just yet, will check in later. Have a great afternoon everyone.
I know how you feel, I was a cook in the army and I had a hard time cooking for 2

Reppie pts to NicoleJ. The chix stuffed with mashed taters came out DEE-LISH!!!!
The only thing was that after 40 minutes, the chix seemed like it needed more time (weird because I have a very hot oven). I left it for an hour and the chix was not dried out. OMG, so yummy!
My hubby couldn't stop with the compliments.
I think I'll be on this thread everyday for now on!
Seared scallops were so great-Mr. L had linguine with olive oil/browned garlic-me spinach salad. Just dried scallops, dredged in lemon pepper seasoned flour, browned in olive oil 3 min each side.
Happy and decided no out tomorroe-just us and pizza. Nite and hugs all.
I'm feeling so very over-stuffed and porky with holiday food and grog that I hardly wanted to deal with food at all tonight, but hunger pangs drove me to make a big casserole of roasted vegetables--potato, onion, celery and carrots done up in a simple olive oil, sea salt, black pepper and paprika mix. Threw in the oven for 35 minutes at 425 degrees and ate just that...quite good, actually, in a simple, no fuss kind of way.
