Alright virbers, get your ovens warmed up! Who is having (or had) what for your holiday eats?! It's just the wife and I this year and we celebrate the Christmas holiday. So for todays dinner, some simple food, split pea soup in the crock pot using a chunk of ham left over from Thanksgiving. Tomorrows dinner will be a rib roast (slow cooked in the oven), yorkshire pudding or popovers, asparagus, and a simple salad. Leading up to that a little shrimp cocktail, salmon spread, maybe even some stuffed mushrooms. Likely the morning will start with some French toast and fruit. Oh, and margaritas through out the afternoon too :-)
What is your favorite city to eat in? And what is the most amazing food item/place you have ever found. Yes, in your entire life. Think hard! Mine is NYC so far...and most amazing food is banh mi. Mmmm.

jo & kabel thought about you two last night when I attempted to make spaghetti & meatballs from scratch... I sort of combined the recipes for the marinara and use ground turkey for the meatballs and it worked! It's so hard to get all three kids to like the same thing and have it taste good to us, but they ate it all up. It really bothers them if there are chunks and green things (like herbs) in the sauce so I had to use the immersion blender to make sure it was smooth. anyway, cheers for the inspiration! =)

Last night I ended up making Chipotle Crusted Pork Tenderloin and Butternut Squash Risotto served with sauteed Asparagus and Garlic. YUM! In order to cover both loins, I think I doubled all the ingredients except the chili powder. I also put it in the oven instead of grilling it. Let me tell you--it was delicious. For the risotto, I added cooked butternut squash at the end before adding the cream & parmesan. Last time I made the risotto, the directions said to add anything extra when you add the rice, but the squash ended up disintegrating. When finished, the risotto was a beautiful creamy orange color, but I like to bite into juicy chunks of squash. So, this time adding the squash at the end worked out much better. A pain in the ass to make but worth the effort. (I pretty much just follow the directions on the side of the box of Arborio Rice from Trader Joe's. I found precut squash in the produce section--great time saver.) There's also a recipe from Heather for Asian Grilled Pork Chops that I'm going to try next week.
Anyone have a favorite recipe for marinara sauce? I can look one up, but I want something tried and true. Thanks =)
I found this idea on allrecipes.com: http://allrecipes.com/Cooks-Profile/Photo.aspx?photoID=24385
SO cute! I can't wait to make them myself!
