To me a dish just isn't complete with something green on the plate. I live alone and most of the time I make just plain food that I don't even need a recipe for; but there is a side of me that really likes my food dressed and a little on the gourmet side. Just because I mostly cook for myself doesn't mean that I can't have pretty food. I love pretty food and I love green food.
Have you guys visited Will's Kitchen? I happened upon his site several weeks ago and was highly impressed with his blog. He had a recipe for Garlic-Chicken and Broccoli Pasta that I really thought I'd like and wanted to try so here's my rendition:
Isn't it pretty with the green broccoli and that Parmesan cheese? It was really quick to fix up and just as I thought, very tasty too. I think I over did it with the garlic so I'll stick to just the two cloves that the recipe calls for next time I make it. Just thought you'd like to see, and if you try it...hope you enjoy!

Well I love chicken, broccoli, garlic and pasta, so this looks perfect to me. I cook for myself mostly too, but I like to mix it up and make it nice. Cloth napkins and all! I haven't looked at his site before, but I'm headed there now. Thanks for the tip! K

ReplyDeleteFaye , I hope you didn't get the really bad weather that I heard about on the news the other day. I heard them mention Warner Robins and thought of you.

I agree with the green requirement. I let my little boys select the veggies, if I haven't planned something specific for some strange reason. They can even recite my mantra, "Two veggies, one of which must be green!" I love your chicken dish; that looks great! I can't use real garlic, because my hubby breaks out in hives, but garlic powder works well, too (and you can always add more if you want).
ReplyDeleteFaye,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting me on your blog list! I love your site and all the good wishes and fun that everyone is having! Wishing you lots of happy sewing.
Cheers,
Nancy
I love pretty food also. The thing is--it likes me back! As proof--it never leaves me, but hangs around here and there on my body!
ReplyDeleteFaye, I nominated you for the sisterhood award, not realizing that you'd already received it. You are a motivation to me! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI know you've already gotten this, but I also nominated you (a little late) for the Sisterhood Award. Keep on sewin' :)
ReplyDeleteI am totally hungry now! LOL
ReplyDeleteMe too, girl. My sister and I always say, "If it ain't pretty, I probably is not good." lol
