On a Roll!

Posted November 9th 2009 at 7:13 pm by Mara @ What's For Dinner?

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I can’t believe it!

I have now cooked TWO CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS!! The best part? I didn’t have to go to the grocery store! It was a complete and total “see what’s in the house and throw it together” kind of meal… and thank goodness it was good!

This random conglomeration included, for two servings:

3 slices bacon, diced
2 small chicken breasts, diced
1 large bag frozen broccoli
1 roma tomato, chopped
garlic powder
basil
oregano
2 servings Al Dente spinach fettuccine
1/4 c. lowfat cheddar cheese on top

Quite green. Quite simple. Quite delicious.

There may have also been some garlic bread on the side that I could NOT get a good picture of…

I’m definitely not 100% yet, so the full day of work and cooking have definitely worn me out. House is on tonight, and I’m planning an early to bed night. I apologize for the lackluster posts, but I promise they’ll get better. I swear!

Have a fantastic evening! Be looking for posts this week on ginormous sandwiches, a “you pick what I cook” dinner poll, and a Guest for Dinner!

Looks great! I love those meals that are just thrown together at the last minute and use whatever is in the fridge and cabinets.
