we finished out january with some very good meals...several homemade soups, seared fish with a fresh made mango salsa, chix fahitas, pork "marriage" chili and baked chix taquitos...
acorn squash soup, tilipia with mango salsa...ala Scott...YUM 1.20.10
1.23.10 chix fahitas with guacomole, cilantro & carmelized onion
1.25.10 pork "marriage" chili
freshly cubed pork loin
portebello mushrooms...so earthy and beautiful
our favorite aromatic veggies..carrot, onion, jalepeno, bell pepper
1.27.10 butternut squash soup...while Scott was making this, he accidentally dropped a fork in the blender, which promptly shot straight up to the ceiling and splattered him in roasted vegies...this soup had squash, I think sweet tater?, hot sauce, broccoli...oh so delicious
so thick, rich and yummy...no cream, but you'd have thought it did
1.30.10 chopped chix, with bell pepper and other yummy carmelized vegies and some fresh cilantro filling for our baked taquitos
a little army of taquitos, stuffed and ready for the oven
topped with a little sour cream/salsa and quacamole...oh these were so yummy

  Chicken Marsala and pilaf....HEAVENLY!  One of my new favorites from Everything Man.  We ate it two nights in a row it was so good. Recipe: Thin chicken breasts (2 cut in half), s&p, then lightly flour, pat off excess, brown on both sides in a little evoo & butter, set aside 1-2 lbs Mushrooms, sliced & caramelized in evoo & butter in same pan as chicken, add 1 tsp chopped garlic at very end so it doesn't burn Deglaze with 1 Cup Marsala wine & 1/4 Cup Sherry (we had cream sherry on hand) and reduce by 25% then add 1 Cup Chicken Stock (good quality).  Add fresh herbs, chives, parsley, optional. Serve over  pilaf,  noodles...cardboard, it won't matter.
