I found this recipe at Bon Appetit. Love it. Talk about a one dish meal. My dish looked quite similar to the photo on the Bon Appetit site, except I could not make the prosciutto rosettes. We love roasted potatoes and onions so the pork and prosciutto was like icing on the cake.
As for a veggie I had a small piece of fennel that my dad gave me so I sauteed it up with some zucchini. Seasoned it with salt and pepper. Oh my that was good!
And yes it is Saint Patrick's Day. I did have a beer today... at an Italian Bar and Grill. But I did make Irish Soda Bread... sort of. I found a recipe for Chocolate Chip Soda Bread on the Whole Foods site. Well I had these Cinnamon Chips that I was dying to use so I used half Dark Chocolate Chips (that makes it good for you!) and half Cinnamon Chips. I love Irish Soda Bread but sorry this blows that away!

This has been a long week. I use to post every day... not so much anymore. Not sure why and really don't want to try to figure it out. So we have the weekend wrap up!
Cue the fanfare...

Oh this was good! I came across this recipe on the Better Homes and Garden site. Chicken and Pasta Frittatta. I had chicken from the Rotisserie chicken we had on Saturday night. Simple to prepare. I brought it over to my Dad's for dinner. He really enjoyed this.

Eggs in Purgatory. This is such an easy dish. I had some sauce in the freezer and some green beans in the fridge. I poached the eggs in the sauce in the morning so it just needed a reheat tonight. Oh and of course we had to have Italian bread with this.

Fridays during Lent... and I found a really good quick recipe for Fish and Chips. Well sort of Fish and Chips. Are you using Cookstr? You will find lot of amazing recipes there. Today I typed in Cod and found this recipe - Crispy Oven Fried Cod. The recipe is from The Gourmet Cookbook. That is the cool thing about the Cookstr site, you can try recipes from all types of cookbooks. Its like going to the library.
So back to dinner. The recipe said to put the fish and the pan in the oven. Well I put the fish on paper towels to drain the oil. After that I put it in the oven in a baking dish. It came out so light. And the chips part of the meal... Roasted Potatoes!
Cue the fanfare...

Beef Stroganoff
Lets start with the small portion of Roast Beef I had in the freezer, are you following a pattern lately - cleaning out the freezer. Next I found this recipe. I especially like the bit of history that is given at the start of the recipe. The end result was pure comfort. But any meal that involves egg noddles is comforting to me! And as you can see by the photo I substituted zucchini for the mushrooms.

Chicken Fried Rice
I found this recipe on Smells Like Home blog. I had chicken leftover from last night and I made the brown rice earlier today. Not a bad dish. I would definitely make this again. And I love the way it looks on my rice pattern dish!
