December Highlights

Since I haven't posted any meal plans in the hectic holiday season, I thought I'd just share a few favorites I've cooked recently. Enjoy!

Meal 1

  • broiled tilapia fillets 2 ways - recipe from cookbook Keepers
    • heat broiler with cast iron skillet 4-6 inches from top of oven
    • pat fish dry and season with olive oil, salt, pepper and ??? - I did half with dill and lemon and half with blackened seasoning
    • Remove skillet from oven and carefully add fish. top with a little butter!
    • Broil for 5-8 minutes
  • roasted broccoli
  • one pan farro with tomatoes

Meal 2

Meal 3

  • pan seared lamb chops
  • roasted potatoes
    • heat oven to 450
    • cut potatoes and dry on paper towels
    • heat 2 TBSP of olive oil on sheet pan in the oven while it preheats - 5 minutes
    • add dried potatoes to sheet pan, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat in oil
    • cook for 30 minutes, then toss potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes longer
  • green beans

Meal 4

  • I tried a new roast chicken. I was really in it for the crispy potatoes which were not very crispy. I much prefer my old standby. I may do thin sliced potatoes with it next time but would use my large roasting pan to get crispier potatoes. I use convection for this.
