I like to try different recipes and Ryan is always looking to see what I will do that is different. This weekend I wanted things that would not take a long time; but, were also somewhat simple.
Saturday I baked my cheese Danish as Callum was very upset that I did not have either the danish or the chocolate cake when he was over for Cinco de Mayo. For dinner was a very large salad of mixed greens, spinach, cucumber, garbanzos, tomatoes, crumbled goat cheese, corn and croutons. I then had grilled chicken breasts broiled in a garlic butter with rosemary, thyme and parsley. Linguini in a butter and parmesan sauce and garlic bread. Everyone enjoyed it and all got to the table on time.
Sunday was breaded pork cutlets, mashed potatoes, apple sauce and glazed carrots. I was so pleased when Ryan went for a second helping of glazed carrots, noted that there was cinnamon in it - to which I told him I added that as the recipe didn't call for it. Most exciting is that he wants me to make them for Thanksgiving. And of course I baked a yellow cake with chocolate frosting for Callum.
Cooking for me is therapeutic; but, it must also be part of my ethnic genes - this need to feed others and to ensure that there was enough for them to take some home.
I know my nephew and his wife had food for them to take to work for lunch. And I have a few more worthwhile recipes in my repertoire.
