Since the Huz had the day off on Friday, I took the opportunity to try cooking real shabbos meals again while he watched our daughter. I came up with a couple of pretty awesome recipes on the spot, and I'm kind of proud of myself so I wanted to share them with you. Sweet and Sour Chicken Ingredients: Chicken (I used a whole fryer, but you can use whatever parts you want) Ketchup Sweet and Sour style Duck sauce Srirachi sauce Soy sauce spices: onion powder, garlic powder, sage, oregano 1 onion, sliced Instructions: Use onion slices to line the bottom of your pan (got this idea from my SIL. HI! ~waves~) Clean chicken and place it on top of onion slices. Season chicken with the spices above to taste Mix duck sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, and srirachi sauce together in a bowl. I don't have measurements because I just do everything to taste. The ratio is LOTS of duck sauce to a medium amount of ketchup to a SMALL amount of srirachi sauce and just a DASH of soy sauce. Mess around w...

Last night, I decided to cook my SECOND meal since having a baby. When I had gone grocery shopping earlier in the week, I had gone a little crazy with the Fall squash selection. Well, not too crazy. I saw spaghetti and acorn squash and felt the pull of Fall cuisine. So I pulled it together and made a really awesome Fall dish last night from the squash and a few other items in my pantry. I didn't know if I was really going to like it, but it turned out pretty excellent. It's healthy and, actually, vegan. It's also easy, which you know makes it all that much better. Spaghetti Squash with Acorn Squash and Chick Peas Ingredients: 1 Large Spaghetti Squash 1 small acorn squash 1 can of chick peas, drained and rinsed 1 8oz package of mushrooms, sliced 1/2 small onion, diced olive oil Garlic powder salt & pepper nutmeg cinnamon Instructions: Preheat oven to 375. Pierce both squashes all over with a small sharp knife, then place in the oven for about an hour until they...

It's been a long time since I've updated, but I have a good excuse. You see, 6 weeks ago I had a baby girl. She's small and cute and sweet and full of so many exciting bodily fluids. She's also incredibly time-consuming and tends to occupy at least one of my typing hands, making blog entries more annoying. Right now she's sleeping in her swing (thanks to the Huz's coworkers for that!) so I'm actually able to type. Admittedly, I haven't cooked a single thing since she was born. But I'm gearing up to make my first dinner tonight. Isn't it exciting? I'm thinking mushroom soup with some bread/breadsticks? I'd best get on it though. I'm also getting ready to head back to work tomorrow. Scary stuff. Good thing I have so many relatives eager to spend time with the new baby. :) More updates next time my hands are free!
