Vegetable medley

I have posted numerous times about this recipe. Since I keep making modifications to it and truly enjoy it, I'm going to post it here.
It's very simple. I use celery, carrots, green onions, zuchini, tomato, 1 tbsp onion soup mix, and olive oil.
Now, you can pretty much use any vegetable you like for this. For instance, in the picture posted with this I also had added asperegus since we had some in the house that needed to be used up. It was yummy. Or another time I didn't have a tomato (which I feel you definatly need to tie it together, but if your alergic of couse keep it out) so I opened a can of stewed tomatoes to use some of them. That ended in an interesting thrown together recipe later to use the remaining tomatoes. It's a fairly open recipe, so explore in the kitchen. See what tastes good!

Pork chops with gravy

This was another simple recipe that was perfect for a busy Wednesday.  It's one that you don't have to hover over and worry that it will burn when you are bot looking. So I was able to cook a large pan of veggies that we can eat with dinner tomorrow. This dish was very savory and felt very homey.

Maple glazed chicken

This was a quick and easy dinner. Five ingredients (chicken, apple juice, maple syrup, pepper, cornstarch) and you've got dinner. The glaze cooked up super fast in the hot pan that the chicken was cooked in. I'm not sure if it was supposed to gel up as fast as it did, but it turned out good and that's really all that matters.

Chocolate crepes

This was fairly easy to make, but looked super fancy. You do need to prepare ahead because the batter needs to sit in the fridge for an hour. But it's well worth it. I filled these with a raspberry filling consisting of raspberries, water, sugar, and corn starch cooked together until thickened. And vanilla yogurt. Super super yummy!

Southwest goulash

This was a quick and simple recipe that was very filling. It makes a lot of food though! It's a great all-in-one meal since the veggies are added to the dish.

Brisket with cranberry gravy

Such a simple recipe, with a taste to prepare you for the holiday season! It's a quick five ingreedients (brisket, cranberry jelly, onion, concentrated cranberry juice, water) that you throw in a crock pot and let it cook. Then just mix the drippings with some cornstarch and the gravy is done.

Green tea chicken

This was awesome. I'm definatly going to make this often! It was a fairly simple recipe with a lot of asian ingredients like soy sauce and sesame seed oil. Now that gave me a pause because I'm not a fan of seseme seed oil, but it was such a small amount that it wasn't really noticable.
It went very well with a side of rice.
