I spend a lot of my free time browsing the web for interesting recipes. I particularly like the site Tasty… always some good ideas! Like this one:
Prep Day #25 – Coq au Vin
We were on vacation for the week and took some time to go back home to spend time with family and celebrate Thanksgiving. We had decided to make duck this year and some veggies. I ended up making a salad that was simply amazing. It contained spinach, lettuce, peppers, red onions, apple slices, dried cranberries, nuts, feta cheese and an homemade apple cider vinegar honey dressing that simply made you Thankful for this meal! I’ll make it again and will share with you in my Flash Recipe section.
This week, with travelling to our hometown and celebrating our 3rd Wedding Anniversary (we went out to eat at our favorite pizza place, Chez Carl), I did not spend a lot of time in my kitchen. I was looking forward to spending part of the day cooking. I also noticed that this would be Prep Day #25! In celebration of this 25th prep day, I decided to make something with wine. Seems that everything tastes better when it comes in a savory wine sauce!
Prep Day #24 – Tortellini Soup
Fall is officially here, the days are slowly getting shorter and the evenings are getting cooler. We are now settled in our school year routine. I don’t know for you, but for me, I have the eternal same question… what to put in our lunches this week? Cafeteria service is nice but it’s not as good as a nice home cooked meal!
During my prep day, I try to have 2 different choices for our weekly lunches. This week, I did a Chinese Macaroni (always easy to heat up) and a tortellini soup. This soup is full of veggies and the tortellini’s makes it a full meal!
