Week of February 3rd:
2 Steak with Chimichurri
This flank steak was prepared over a citrus, carrot "hash." I enjoyed the addition of the chimichurri sauce, but D felt the hash was favored well enough from the citrus that it wasn't needed. We've gotten pretty good at grilling this cut of meat to a perfect medium rare.
2 Tofu Kebabs
We were excited to try this recipe, but the execution was a little more difficult than planned. Marinading the tofu prior to cooking was a little challenging since it broke apart very easily. The flavors were nice and we really enjoyed the soba noodles.
2 Arroz con Pollo
The seasoning of the chicken was delicious, but we felt like the rice could have used a little more flavoring. Salting it a little more would have probably helped.
Week of February 10th:
2 Winter Ragout
We predicted this dish would be similar to the mushroom pasta we enjoyed a few weeks ago, so we decided to save it for Valentine's Day. Pairing it with an amazing bottle of wine and homemade creme brûlée was the perfect way to make this delicious dish extra special. It also made a huge portion we were able to enjoy for lunch over the weekend!
2 Roasted Chicken
The seasoning of this chicken was very flavorful, but my favorite part of the dish was the twice baked potatoes. I LOVE twice baked potatoes.
2 Brussels Sprouts over Polenta
This was an interesting recipe, but I think following the cooking directions exactly as they were listed on the instructions caused a slight fail in execution. The brussels were a little too overcooked and the polenta was a bit too thick. Great flavors and color though!
That wraps up our culinary adventures over the past two weeks. More to come as February continues….
