i hope to inspire people to think outside the fast-food box, to boldly go forth without cook book in hand into a new world of homecooked meals intuitively seasoned. no more let us stagnate at our dinner tables eating the same food day in and day out! i offer also anecdotes from my daily life at the mercy of my children, lest you think i have nothing to do all day but fiddle with my computer and play at the gourmet food store...

chicken cordon... cottage
alrighty, this one is so easy it's almost silly to blog it. so it turns out i'm brewing thing three right now, and being 6 weeks pregnant is not fun for me. my precious food tends to turn on me in a serious way for the first 4 months or so. my solution? a dinner i hardly have to touch in it's raw elements so that i will still want to eat it by the time it hits the table. the basic staple here: IQF chicken breasts. literally Individually Quickly Frozen. i can grab as many as i need, throw them in a pan and cook from frozen if i need to. these were partially thawed, for the record. preheat the oven to 375, place the chicken in a baking pan (glass is favorite) in a single layer, brush a little dijon mustard on each breast, top with sliced ham, then finish with a slice of swiss cheese. cover with foil and bake for about 35-40 minutes, depending on if they're still on the frozen side or not. et vio la, chicken that any decent french chef would be ashamed of: and yet, quite tasty.
