Lots of goodies for you this week. Enjoy!
Skillet Cajun Spiced Flounder with Tomatoes {Skinnytaste}
We both really enjoyed this meal. I made it with haddock, since our grocery store doesn't sell sustainable flounder. I used yellow bell pepper, because I don't really like green bell pepper. Otherwise, no adjustments. It was tasty and it met our weeknight repeat requirements: super easy to make and super easy to clean up.
Orange and Balsamic Chicken {Everyday Food November 2010}
So I liked this. A lot. But M LOVED it. As in, could not stop raving about it and declared that it would be on the list of his last meal choices. I think I've served the guy too many boneless, skinless chicken breasts. A chicken thigh with bone-in, skin-on apparently sends him over the top these days.
Farfalle with Mushrooms and Spinach {BHG.com}
Meh. This was average, at best. I added a splash of white wine and some roasted grape tomatoes so there would be some sort of a sauce, and even that didn't add much flavor. M enjoyed the leftovers heated up with some marinara sauce, but I just was not into this at all.
Grilled Garden Wrap {Iowa Girl Eats}
I absolutely loved this. Super fresh and easy and tasty. I didn't miss the meat at all. M, on the other hand...well, he doesn't really like cream cheese in the first place, so that didn't help. He did say that with the addition of some grilled chicken and the subtraction of the cream cheese he thought he would like it. But I'm not big on fixing two basically separate meals for two people, so this recipe will go in my "Single Nights" file. Yum.
Asparagus, Goat Cheese, and Lemon Pasta {Smitten Kitchen}

Speaking of "Single Nights" recipes. M was at his brother's bachelor party this weekend, which gave me a chance to bust out the goat cheese, my secret lover. M HATES goat cheese and I could eat it with a spoon 3 meals a day. I heart it, big time. This meal was just all sorts of happiness-inducing por moi.
Bon appetit!
