I love having an evening at home to cook for my hubby. It sounds old-fashioned but creating a meal to share together is one of my favorite things to do.
Last night's dinner:
Broccoli Slaw Salad--this has become one of my mom's go-to recipes and it's delicious and so easy.
--A package of broccoli slaw. Combine with Brianna's poppyseed dressing, craisins, and slivered almonds. The crunch factor is just perfect.
Roasted Butternut Squash and Beets
I love roasting vegetables in the winter but often fail to plan ahead enough to get them to the right consistency in time for dinner. I worked around this by cubing the squash and beets into fairly small pieces (bite-size) and roasting with olive oil, kosher salt, and rosemary for about 45 minutes at 425 degrees. Buy the pre-peeled, pre-cut squash to save time (cut the pieces even smaller.) For beets, I just peeled them and choppe up. Wear gloves if you don't want to turn your hands purple!
Chicken Cacciatore
--Brown chicken breasts in a pan with some olive oil. Remove.
--Saute onions and peppers in remaining oil. Once softened, add a can of diced tomatos (28 oz), add salt, pepper, oregeno, and chili flakes. Once the liquid has evaporated to your liking, add back in the chicken and simmer for 5 minutes or less.
Easy and delicious!
