Swiss Chard (or Spinach) Souffles

This is kind of a lady recipe I guess. Chris likes them but doesn't get very excited about them for dinner. I think it doesn't feel substantial enough for him. To compensate, I try to make yummy sides like hash browns and bacon. (by the way, the frozen hash brown patties from Trader Joes are so good) I, on the other hand, LOVE souffles. I could probably eat these once a week. I think Chris may get a little more used to eating eggs for dinner after our baby girl arrives since they are quick! In the meantime, make these for yourself or maybe a group of ladies. The recipe comes from Julia's Kitchen Wisdom, which, by the way, is one of my favorite cookbooks. Enjoy!

Chicken Curry Pot Pie



My title is actually a little misleading since I made this with Thanksgiving turkey leftovers. It is great with turkey or chicken. The curry adds a nice little kick to the traditional pot pie and the filling is heavier on the veggies and lighter on the sauce, which I liked. The puff pastry makes up for any calories you save with the filling though! Recipe comes from the great Alton Brown. Enjoy.
