G Made

I shared that G made dinner for himself Saturday night specifically so there would be leftovers and I wouldn't have to cook on Sunday.  Well, before I could take any photos, we ate it all.  Then, last night we had Thai for dinner, but knew we needed something for lunch today.  So when a "only had two hours of sleep" Kalee went upstairs to nap, G made the pasta dish again.  And this time I remembered to snap a photo of it (as I was eating it cold today....it's delicious cold!)

It's a recipe from Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, and if you think you can't cook, or want some simple, delicious, tastes like a restaurant food, you need to pick up this book.  So far we've made the chicken tikka masala and this dish, a tagliatelle with potatoes and brocolli in pesto.  Both delicious, and easy to tweak if you want to add more spice or such.  And while yes, cookbooks can be a pricey investment, let me share that just being able to make the chicken tikka masala saves us $13 every time we want it.  And we're making a batch of it this weekend that for the 2 of us will last 4-6 meals (we're also making the saag paneer to go with, a recipe I found online).  A normal order from the restaurant lasts us 2 meals if we each get something different and share.  So if you're looking for a good cookbook with some mildly fancy pants food as well as hearty homecooked food (like shepherds pie), then I highly recommend this book.
