Oooooh man, this was SO delicious! The picture doesn't do it justice at all. Simple dish, shrimp sauteed in butter and sprinkled with cajun spices, over rice pilaf. Dave kept it relatively light because, well...because he did :-)

We had dinner late last night...went for a long walk in the woods and should've put this in the oven before we left. Oh well!


before


after! Pot roast with potatoes, carrots and green beans, smelled amazing and tasted even better!

Last night, Dave made buffalo chicken sausage, roasted cauliflower with lemon & garlic (thanks to my friend Karen who texted me that morning and said she'd finally tried it and loved it which put me in mind of it) and rice pilaf:



For dessert, we had a mini mince pie...first time Dave ever had mince and he loved it!

Last night, neither of us felt like cooking...so we headed to Five Guys. Have you been there? Best burgers & fries around!



I had half of the one in the picture and gave the other to Dave. Mine had pickles, mushrooms (love that they used 'shroom LOL), ketchup & mustard on it; his had cheese, mayo, onion, lettuce, tomato & jalapeno. How do I remember? I took a picture of the receipt!



Why? To send to my friend Pat who hates all condiments and accompaniments on burgers. She likes meat and bread, amen.

Simple roast chicken, with basmati rice (I added soy sauce and a tiny bit of butter to mine) and steamed summer squash (lol wrote squarsh first!). For dessert, we had a couple tiny clementines.

This was SO delicious!!! Mixed mushrooms sauteed with asparagus, toss in some leftover steak tips, served with Seeds of Life 7 Grain rice and [not shown] rainbow swiss chard. YUMMY!!! I have leftovers today, along with some roasted acorn squash & carrots leftover from another meal.

I had a dream about this meal, and Dave recreated it for me...using the very bowl that was in my dream that I did NOT mention to him. Weird, eh?

distractions, distractions!

Here's a shot of last night's dinner:



Dave used a cranberry-orange marmalade glaze mixed with a bit of salt, pepper, rosemary and garlic, and he put some basil underneath the skin...it was delicious! Served with brussels sprouts and a steamed potato with sour cream. Yum!
