Things are looking delicious this week. We'll be cooking Monday, Thursday and Friday this week. We tend to cook three to four times a week; we have a weekly dinner with family friends most Wednesday's, and Tuesday's have recently turned into Mutt's nights.
Tuesday is Skirt Steak With Roasted Root Vegetables from the October 2011 issue of Food Network Magazine. I have a bit of what could be considered a food magazine habit. I subscribe to Food Network Magazine, Real Simple and Rachael Ray, Nick has a coworker that sends home copies of Food and Wine with him every month, and still, if left unsupervised in the checkout line, I cannot be trusted to pass up any special recipe edition Southern Living, Crock Pot Cooking or Holiday Cookies mini-booklet that crosses my path. A lot of the recipes we use here will be from magazines.
Nick's making his signature Scallopini on Thursday. This is the first meal that Nick ever cooked for me, and it's still one of my favorites. He'll be posting the recipe, but you'll need either shrimp, chicken, veal or - as we are using - pork chops. From what I remember/what we bought at the store today you'll also need lemons, artichoke hearts (we bought two small jars), capers, unsalted butter, cream (we bought a pint) and pasta (we use farfalle). I think we're breading the pork, so we'll probably use an egg wash, so I'm thinking you'll need an egg or two and panko bread crumbs. Again, Nick will be posting the actual recipe, but I think if you have all of the ingredients I just listed, you should be good to go. I'm sure at one point, Nick probably included parsley in the recipe, but since I am not a parsley fan, he leaves it out now.
Friday will be Grilled Flank Steak With Tomatoes, Red Onion and Balsamic from skinnytaste.com. I love Gina's recipes. They all include Weight Watchers Informations, which, while we aren't on WW, I find comforting when trying to eat healthfully.
Check back to see how things turn out!
