Roast Chicken with Vegetables

Tonight was a late dinner night.  However, it still was our Sunday night dinner.  I couldn’t whip together eggs ‘n bacon.  It has to be a nice meal as we should have more time to cook.  Not today!  I bought some chickens at the grocery store this weekend ($0.68 per pound sale at a

Chicken with Pancetta and Figs

For dinner tonight, I made a wonderful chicken dish.  After spending a great week with our friends in San Francisco, we’re still in low-cal mode.  This dish, from Cooking Light, is quite flavorful while not breaking the calorie budget.  I’ve placed an image of the dish below as well as included the recipe.  The

Meal Plan - Week of January 10th

In light of last week’s common theme of tomatoes, I decided to try to be a bit more varied in setup for next week.  I’m going to reuse mushrooms in a few of the dishes.  Beyond that, they’re all pretty different.  I’m going to start with a standard roast chicken a la Julia.  We’ll
