This past rainy weekend was spent at home watching Food Network, cooking, cooking and cooking.
Saturday menu:
Herb garlic bread
Chicken ragu with spaghetti
Sunday menu:
Rotisserie chicken tomato-based vegetable soup with Orzo
Lemon bars
Just-for-kicks:
Lemon curd
These were sooo good straight out of the oven
8 cloves of garlic, 1 stick of butter,
& large handfuls of Italian parsley/chives
Chicken ragu the bf helped make
A dash of parmesan
& rosemary adds a nice touch
Didn't know what to do with leftover rotisserie chicken
so I made broth from the bones
& ended up with a tomato-based soup with orzo (pasta)
Liv gave me a bagful of lemons from her backyard
They were so sweet I had to resist
eating them just like that
In the end, I did the right thing & made lemon bars instead
Leftover lemons prompted the idea of
lemon curd
Now who said staying in wasn't fun?
