We've eaten well lately.
So, we've been on a bit of a "try out recipes from new cookbooks" kick lately. And by "we," I mean "Rae does most of the planning and the cooking, and I go on shopping trips and do prep work like chopping things." Still... that's helpful, right?
For Sunday, since it was the GoT finale, we broke out the new Feast of Ice and Fire cookbook and made the honeyed chicken recipe from the section for The North. We also had delicious roasted potatoes and veggies with spices. (I don't think there WAS a recipe for this... it was more like, "this looks like a good idea!" and... it was.) The honeyed chicken was fantastic, though. A+ + would eat again.
Then, last night, she pulled out a cookbook called Chocolate and Zuchini and made a couple of really interesting dishes that I never would have attempted on my own. The first was zucchini carpaccio with raspberry vinegar (we used blackberry vinegar because I hate raspberries). Then, we had quinoa, bacon, and mushroom cake, which turned out great. I've not had many savory cakes in my life, but this was delicious.
Tonight, we're having chicken and cashew mini-quiches... I think... and if recent experience is any guide, those will be good too.
And now that I'm hungry, I think I'm going to go forage for leftovers.
