Not Cooking Much?!

I realized by my lack of posts, I really haven't been cooking this month. I did make another batch of the black beans, the butternut squash gnocchi, and skirt steak. Otherwise, nothing new. How boring! I guess I need to get a little more motivated...

A couple simple dinners

Last night, I marinated a package of TJ's chicken tenders in a mixtures of fresh lemon, lime and orange juice, olive oil, salt, and fresh chopped rosemary, parsley and oregano. I let it marinate at room temp for about an hour and then had J BBQ it on the grill. Turned out great. Our side dishes were fresh steamed French green beans (so happy they are back in season!) and roasted BN squash.

Tonight, our neighbors emailed late in the afternoon and asked us over for dinner. I had already made the cuban black bean crock pot recipe and asked if they wanted to plan dinner around that and we'd just bring the beans. They made some Mexican rice, some fresh guac, shredded cheese, blue corn chips, and some fresh corn on the cobb. It all went really well together.
