I’m thinking of doing some oven baked prime rib with a simple worcestershire sauce and herb rub, possibly with a side of rice and mixed vegetables.  Nothing planned for tomorrow yet but I’m leaning towards chicken at the moment.

I made some tremendous macaroni and cheese tonight. It’s my special recipe. Just take some boiling water, throw the noodles in…oh wait, you mean something good? Let me get back to you.

Garlic beef. I got the recipee of this website :
http://www.3fatchicks.com/

it is FABULOUS…garlic, beef( I used 2 top sirloin steaks with no bones and trimmed it into inch thick slices), bok choy with some soy and oyster sauce. Served over rice. YUMMY this is our Sunday dinner this week. The boys LOVE it. And the best thing is that it is fairly low calorie. Always a winner.

And although it’s not this weekend, later this week with be stuffed shells with a marinara sauce. Tonight (Saturday) was herb roasted split chicken boobies with steamed veggies on the side in an herb and olive oil sauce.

Still don’t have the rest of this week’s menu planned but tomorrow is groecery shopping so I better firgure it out soon

I am liking the Rosemary Chicken Skewers for the night.  I do have a question about the white wine used in the recipe.  Can anyone suggest a good one for this recipe?  A quick search of the internet say to use one I enjoy the taste of but, as I do not drink wine I do not know where to start.  Any suggestions would be great.

I was going to do some lemmon pepper chicken breasts on the grill with grilled corn on the cob and eggplant until I saw this posting.  That can wait until later in the week now.

As far as cooking whites go, I say go to the store and get whatever is cheap.  Not THE cheapest, and not a sweet dessert wine, but something drinkable and cheap.  As long as you can stand to drink it, it will be good in your recipe.

That Garlic Beef looks freaking great

It is really good. And very simple to make which makes me happy. I’ve never used oyster sauce before so was a little leary but I liked it. Most importantly the BOYS liked it and ate it up!

There are a few other recipees on that site I am going to try. Good food and lower in fat makes me a happy Janna. Makes me waistline happy too!

As long as you can stand to drink it

I do not drink at all so I do not know what I can stand to drink.  I will go with moderate price and ask the guy at the counter.  I will let you know how they come out.

I didn’t get to make the Beef and Garlic. We got hit with a major summer storm. I went to drive out of the condo complex to go to the grocery store and the street was flooded. A car was stuck. This car was bigger than mine. Against the boys urging, I turned around and didn’t chance it. We had blueberry pancakes instead. Not nearly as good :-(

Instead of using the wine, use its vinegar.  I use Pinot vinegar, Champangne vinegar and Cabernet vinegar all the time in marinades.  You get a good flavor and zero alcohol.  Plus, it is acidic, so you get a good osmotic movement of flavor into the food.

My local Vons carries Champagne and Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir vinegar.  I had to go to a foodie store called Bristol Farms for the Cabernet.

Made it tonight, it was “Made of Awesome” I skipped the salt and used the grill for the whole package.  Added a side of broc with a touch of white cheddar cheese mixed in and had a great meal.  I forgot to soak the skewers so they came out rather toasty.  I will add a link to a picture tomorrow.  I am thinking about a variation involving lime or mango next.
