Sweet & Sour Chicken:Eh, just alright. Pretty good, I guess. Definitely healthier than real sweet and sour chicken, but obviously not as delicious and fried. Steve liked it, but I have a weird hangup with citrus and chicken, as in, I don't like it. So I had issues with all the pineapple. Will picked out the pineapple and left everything else. As of right now, I'm still being owned by homemade Chinese food.
Baked Ravioli: Pretty good, although in reality, it really was just ravioli with homemade sauce baked in a casserole dish with cheese melted on top. Tasted good, but revolutionary cuisine, it was not. Still, on Tuesday afternoons Will has speech therapy so I have to plan for either a quick dinner or something made ahead of time that Steve can throw in the oven. For the latter, it worked. Would I make it again? The jury is still out, but mostly just because it's not like it takes a Culinary Instiute degree to figure out how to make ravioli.
Fusilli with Spinach & Asiago Cheese: This one is delicious! Try it. Try it now. The recipe is delicious as is, but I usually beef up the amount of spinach and tomatoes, because I figure more veggies can't hurt. I usually do 10oz. of spinach (one small container of organic baby spinach) and 1 whole pint of grape tomatoes, halved. It's a great Meatless Monday recipe, but also wonderful with shrimp scampi on top.
Other than that, we're doing a ton of grilling since the weather is finally nice! Is there a summer meal better than hot dogs? No way!
Steve and Will have been keeping busy fixing up the yard for Emma's first birthday party which is coming up in about a month (Happy 11 month birthday, Emma!). Here's the evidence that Will has been helping with the weed whacking:
This weekend we're headed up to the Poconos - hopefully to relax, recharge, and most importantly, outlet shop, before heading home for the craziness of the last 3 weeks of the school year.
Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend!
