Bueller....Beuller....Beuller...

Yes, I know. Don't remind me...I STINK at keep my blog updated. I guess on Julie and Julia is was much easier since the actors were being paid millions of dollars to do what I am attempting to do. So last night, Greg came home from work and since Mother Nature feels 100 degree temperatures are appropriate in July, we took a dip in the pool. We got to talking about my blog and cook book and I have gotten back on track and have committed once again to blog about my cooking. Despite not blogging, that doesnt mean I haven't been cooking. I would say at LEAST 5-6 nights per week I cook and it ain't no pb and j. So back to the grind...Last night's meal - A chicken caprese (for me) and steak caprese (for Greg) paired with a grilled veggie salad and BBQ creamed corn...

Time to Catch Up...Chicken Pesto Presto

Ever do nothing...just absolutely nothing you know you should be doing? Prime example....me laying on the couch with my monkey (Vixen) watching Lifetime Movie Network and ignoring the pile of laundry, the empty pantry and the dust collecting on the the furniture...The next day I have to play catch up...cleaning, errands, the norm...Well, it's time for me to do just that...Catch up!

Put a pot of water to boil on the stove. Add salt. In a food processor combine basil, garlic, parm cheese, S&P, garlic and some lemon zest. Steam in some EVOO. Voila - you made a pesto, minus the pine nuts. For me, they were too ...

Cold Chicken Satay Noodles - MYOTO

I cheated. I did! I think it takes a strong to person to admit that they cheated. I made this dish in the afternoon on Wednesday, not in the evening. Who doesn't have the hussle and bussle of their daily life? I can thank my mother for my obsession with scheduling! Greg on the other hand thinks it's funny to suggest planning to take a shower three weeks in advance because he's so not a planner. It's his way of telling me I am anal with my scheduling. So, I knew that I had to work all day and then go to Parker's basketball game from which I would not be home until after 7pm. Now don't get me wrong, I have cooked much later 7pm before, but it is nice to not have to worry about cooking, cleaning up, eating so late. So I made these noodles. They were DELISH! They are made with whole wheat pasta, only a bit of peanut butter and then soy sauce, veggies, chicken. IT was great. I added green peppers and instead of shredding the carrots, I just cut up some bab...
