Rocket & Parmesan Couscous Salad; DH New Food Fast
You know those nights when you want 'real' food for dinner, but don't want to be stuck with anything resembling 'real' cooking, or the corresponding dishes? When faced with one of those, we generally turn to Donna Hay.
Harrisa & Yoghurt Baked Chicken; DH Off the Shelf
This is my kind of easy food; a simple couscous with Parmesan cheese, topped with arugula and balsamic vinegar-drizzled tomato slices.
Paired with a mint & chili paste-spiced yogurt-covered chicken (and Veat) dish, it was a healthy, richly-flavored meal.
And it all came together in less than 45 minutes, and that's only because I got distracted half-way through...
Invites to April's Blog Party are out, and this month we're celebrating our favorite Diner, Street, and Pub foods by fancy-ing them up and turning them into appetizers!
Your favorite virtual cocktail party is taking to the streets, or rather, our food is.
RSVP by Thursday, 17 April...and I hope to see you there!
I'm hosting the latest Retro Recipe Challenge, and this time, it's all about Mom!
Pick a recipe from a year before your mother was born (thank you John, Paul, George & Ringo) and send those URL's in by Saturday, 26 April. So, tie up those apron strings, paste a pretty smile on your face, and get cooking!

- Blogging By Mail: Indian Surprises!
Last week, my BBM package arrived, in surprisingly good condition as it had shipped from India! As always, when matching bloggers for Blogging by Mail, I find myself in a bit of a weird situation: who do I assign to me? It's kind of awkward. But...
- Chicken With Goat Cheese & Basil
I'm a big fan of recipes...meals...that come together in very little time. This one from Ina Garten follows that plan perfectly. I'd have made it a long time ago, but we have the hardest time finding skin-on chicken. Anyway, it's like this....
- Balsamic Chicken With Garlic Couscous
Chicken (and Veat) marinated and cooked in balsamic vinegar and vegetable broth; served over a garlic and thyme couscous...all from Donna Hay. Yum. Don't forget: Blog Party#11 is this weekend! Get your Manly party entries to me no later than...
- Parmesan Chicken With Balsamic Butter Sauce
A surprisingly simple dinner dish: Parmesan Chicken with Balsamic Butter Sauce. We never buy whole chickens, so as always, we cut up chicken (and Veat) breasts; reducing the baking time. Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic, and oregano for the chicken's...
