January 2013

Here's to the New Year and a fresh start... 

  • Cranberry-Sauced Pork Chops: BHG pg.313 - 1/2/13. Surprisingly, we all really liked it! (Despite the fact that none of us love cranberry sauce.)
  • Pasta with Pesto Cream Sauce: PW pg.136 - 1/10/13. I made this twice last year, but never took a photo. Serisouly, people. You HAVE to try this stuff! I am obsessed with good pasta and yet, this simple recipe is at the top of the chart for me!
  • Biscuits & Gravy: PD online - 1/12/13. Jake LOVES this dish. I think it could possible kill you (especially with Paula Deen's recipe) but once or twice a year, we indulge!

  • Fish Tacos with Creamy Slaw: EF Cookbk pg.150 - 1/14/13. These were so totally awesome. I was going "Mmmmmm" the whole time. Seriously. The boys even scarfed it - slaw and all! :)I used fresh salmon.

  • Shrimp & Grits: MS American Food pg.177  - 1/16/13. This was pretty good. Jake loved it the most. I think my pregnant taste issues were the only thing that got in the way.

  • Williams Sonoma BBQ Meatloaf - 1/24/13. This was a bottle of starter I got at the store. Good!
  • Penne with Shrimp & Herbed Cream Sauce: GDL Kitchen Bk- pg. 166 - 1/27/13. This was SO GOOOOD. I would make this any day!
  • Old Fashioned Beef Stew/Fried Polenta: BHG pg. 460 - 1/28/13. 



  • Beef Chili with Black Beans: WS Cooking at Home pg.150 - 1/31/13. I REALLY loved this stew-like Mexican chili. I made it for our church cooking group and it was a hit there as well.




That wraps up January! Buon Appetito!
