Boyfriend- 😕Me- 😕 Frankly, I don’t have much to write in this blog post about this vegetable side dish. Instead of calling it “Steam-Fried” it should just be sautéed since you are using olive oil for this dish and not adding water. Frankly this is just under seasoned sautéed zucchini. Not for us, although I’m…
Almond Chicken
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…

Basic Green Salad
Me- 😕 The recipe called for just greens, olive oil and vinegar with a garlic clove rubbed into a bowl. I omitted the garlic clove. I used Champagne vinegar and Romaine lettuce and added marinated tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Nothing super impressive. Just literally a basic salad. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/677623/the-complete-mediterranean-cookbook-gift-edition-by-americas-test-kitchen/
Classic Gazpacho
Me- ☹️ Hard pass. I knew I wasn’t going to like this but I wanted to try if I’ve just had bad gazpachos in the past. I think the conclusion is that I just don’t like gazpacho. Cold veggies floating in cold tomato soup is not the dish for me. The only good thing is…
French Lentils with Carrots and Parsley
Boyfriend- 😕Me- 😕 Although I was out of parsley so technically this recipe is French Lentils with Carrots. I love lentils, but I don’t really crave them. I feel like I would have enjoyed this dish more in the fall as a filling side dish. This would be so good with Herb Roasted Chicken and…
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…

Prosciutto Egg Cups
I think I’ve come to realize that I just don’t like cooked prosciutto. I enjoy prosciutto more in its natural state with some cheese and a cold glass of Prosecco. Other than that, these egg cups were super tasty. I think I would have enjoyed them more if the cup was of another food like…
