A Side.. a Main and a Little Baker~

Yikes..3 posts in one week..I know..too many..but just in case you are looking for new recipes this weekend..

Mini Rod Stewart  made some Angry Bird cookies...

He likes when I get cookie press/stamps from Ebay..
So do I..:)

On my part..I tried a  few new recipes I thought you might enjoy..

We have enjoyed  them both more than once since I  first made them..

Lemon-Parmesan Roasted Potatoes~

So so good~

La Recette..adapted..

1 1/2 lbs baby Yukon Gold potatoes,halved
1 1/2 lbs baby red skinned potatoes halved
Kosher salt
4 cups cubed day old sourdough bread
(I simply used Panko)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic grated
2 tsps finely grated lemon zest plus wedges for serving
freshly ground pepper
1/4 fresh chopped prsely
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1.Preheat oven to 450F
Put the halved potatoes in a large pot of salted water.
Cook until just tender.
Drain.
2.Here you would pulse the bread ..bla bla bla..just use panko... really...combine with olive oil..garlic..lemon zest.salt..a few grinds of pepper..toss the potatoes..
3.Arrange the potatoes cut side down(I make sure I coat them with the panko mix) Roast until golden and tender about 10 minutes..remove from oven ..sprinkle the potatoes with parm cheese and parsley..return to oven about 5 minutes.. serve with lemon wedges..(I love that part of adding extra lemon juice..so darn delicious)

Now.. I did not use small yukon golds..because I only had the baby red potatoes on hand..
and I adapted the recipe to make enough for Jacques and..I..the 2 serving dishes you see..
we had fish and roasted asparagus to go with..and I loved the potatoes the very best:)


Another thing that will definitely be made again and again here is this..
did I say again?

BBQ Chicken Pizza..

The recipe was found here..Such gorgeous pics there I had to make it the very day I found it:)


I cannot tell you how often I make it now:)There..I said it again..:)

  My small notes.. Halving the recipe is just fine..it makes 2 pizzas..2 delicious pizzas..and I ake the dough in my bread machine..
After a FULL day in the gardens..I love to make this pizza..Easy peasy delicioso!

Hope you try one of these..I am  potato lover..and a pizza lover..
They may not be your cup of tea but if they are do try them:)

There was another main that we loved..but we had that Saturday for dinner..gloomy Sat so a photo was out of the question..You will have to go to my source directly:)


The recipe was..this one..from...Julia
Divine.
We rarely have creamy sauce dishes..
If ever..
But this struck a lovely note for me when I spotted it..
I only used 1 very large chicken breast for the two of us..I marinated it all day..and cooked it in the same pan I cooked the mushrooms in afterwards..
I tented the cooked chicken breast..and kept it warming in the oven with our plates..
When the pasta..sauce etc was ready..I sliced the chicken breast  with slices on..each of our beds of  pasta with sauce..
By the way I made the full sauce recipe and used 5 nests of Tagliatelle.I used 2 cups of Costco organic chicken broth..instead of the cubes..
We could have licked our plates.
Thank you Julia for all the great recipes and great great pics~~

Come rain ..or shine..
