Boyfriend- 🙂Me- 😕 Boyfriend liked it. So much so that he had the rest for lunch today. Me? Eh. I think I would have liked it better by using pecans instead of almonds for the crust. I also think that I should have added dried basil to the crust seasoning since I didn’t have dried…

Pan-Roasted Halibut with Chermoula
Boyfriend- 🙂 🙂Me- 🙂 This halibut is sooo good. Halibut is pretty expensive in my area so I’m so glad that it turned out as good as it did. This technique seared the halibut on the stove and then finished in the oven. The halibut was perfectly cooked, not over cooked and super flaky and…
Greek Marinated Chicken
Boyfriend- 🙂Me- 🙂 We loved this dinner! I made the marinade following these instructions. I marinated the chicken for 6 hours and my boyfriend grilled them to perfection. I’m saving the recipe so that we can have them again sometime and I feel like it would be so good with grilled mushrooms also. We ended…
Walnut-Rosemary Crusted Salmon
Charlie-😕Me-😕 Here are my brain thoughts. The recipe didn’t call for any seasoning on the fish or in the breading mixture. If I know one thing, it’s that it’s best to season every aspect of a breaded dish. Also the sauce that adhere the breading to the fish is essentially a honey mustard with garlic,…
Mediterranean-Twist Salmon
I made this this past Sunday instead of the Greek marinated chicken as originally planned. We postponed the chicken until my boyfriend’s new work schedule starts so he can be the grill master. Boyfriend-🙂🙂Me-🙂🙂 This one by far, one of the best dishes that I’ve made in a long time. I loved the sauce that…
Spinach, Scallop and Quinoa Salad with Orange-Poppyseed Dressing
Yum! I loved this.Me- 🙂Boyfriend- 😕 We both loved the scallops and the dressing. Thankfully the dressing stays for about a month in the fridge so I’m looking forward to using it again. While the quinoa was good, it didn’t feel like it had enough carbs to keep me satiated, as I will probably have…
Roasted Chili-Lime Cod
Boyfriend😕Me 🙂 I enjoyed it, but the boyfriend, not so much. He thought that the spice mixture was a bit weird. I loved the spice. The main difference from the original recipe is that I didn’t make the lime butter sauce to go on top since I’m not currently eating butter. I paired the cod…
Potsticker Noodle Bowl
https://iowagirleats.com/potsticker-noodle-bowls/ Boyfriend= ☹️Me=😕 This is the first time he’s given one of the dishes that I’ve cooked a ☹️. His critique is that it tastes too bitter and it would have been better with chicken. I think the sauce is too salty since it lacks anything to balance the soy sauce and rice vinegar. It…
Vodka Chicken Fettuccini
Vodka ✅ Chicken✅ Fettuccine ✅Vodka sauce is one of my favorite pasta sauces. I’m not a super huge fan of marinara, to be honest. Through in some vodka and heavy cream to that marinara and I’m a happy girl. I really liked this cookbook’s vodka sauce recipe since it includes cannellini beans (the superior bean.)…
Buffalo Chicken Salad and Sparkling Pink Lemonade
We had a smiley face night. We gave both recipes a nice big 🙂 I thought that Pink Lemonade was pretty sweet at first but it grew on me. I was happy to find the frozen pink lemonade concentrate at Wegmans. Since this punch makes such a big bowl of punch, I couldn’t mix it…
