We made another quick meal. Just sautéed some onions and peppers in a bit of butter. We did this in the cast iron to get it nicely cooked. Then added chopped up Trader Joes' Spinach, Fontina, and Roasted Garlic Chicken sausage.
Good and fast meal! (again)

Another simple meal. We butterflied two lobster tails and cooked them on the grill pan1. We actually ended up taking them out of the shell later and cooking it some more. I think we should start planning to start it in the shell but de-shell it and keep cooking it before we serve it to make sure it si fully cooked.
We also had a fried egg on toast. Everything was topped with cilantro sauce/dip.
I think we can start doing these on the regular cast iron. You never see the grill lines anyway ↩

Meredith made the Black Bean and Feta salad (from 2016-03-09) with the same basic changes but without crab. I do not know what else she changed but it wasn't much. These were what we took for lunch two days this week

We made a quick dinner. I made the usual seared salmon with Meredith's cilantro sauce/dip. There wasn't much more to this one. Though I do not think I would waste the dip on this again since the flavors didn't really come through much.
Meredith the asparagus thing. It was really good and she said pretty easy. Here are her steps

We were again doing a Rotisserie chicken week. This was pretty easy. We used Costco's Power Green mix (Kale, swiss chard, and spinach). We used our regular healthier salad dressing (which I also went back and added a note about less lemon). We also had one extremely stale leftover bagel from the move. I cut it up, sprayed it with pam, topped it with salt and garlic powder, and toasted it. The bagel croutons came out really good!
We also topped the salad with tomatoes.
It came out pretty good! And easy!

First meal in the new house! We needed something quick, easy, and healthy. We bought a Costco thing of rotisserie chicken earlier in the day and Smiths had a thing of 3 zucchini + 3 anaheim1 peppers on sale since it was getting old. We did those plus another zucchini.
We did what has become our regular calabacita trick: butter. We used 2-3 Tbsp butter (but it made 4 servings) plus some adobo powder, salt, and garlic powder.
When it was almost finished, we added ~12+ ounces of Rotisserie chicken.
It came out really good. Not a ton of food since we divided it into 4 but it was enough. Also, this was our first time getting to test both the new kitchen and also the new cast iron pan.
This is a guess! They kind of looked like very long and smooth banana peppers. But they were also old. We're really not sure ↩

We are moving in a few days and have packed just about everything that will be going or getting donated. We had a frozen tofurky and lots of vegetables so we decided to work with that.
You can see we used a aluminum lined cast-iron pan. The recipe for the baste calls for soy sauce, oil, and a bunch of other things. I had to work with the few things we kept around (and anything cold).
So I made a baste with chicken broth, oyster sauce (in place of soy), garlic powder, cumin, and pepper. I killed the whole vegetarian thing, but we didn't mind.
I also took a pound of frozen green beans and some frozen corn. I covered it well and put the whole thing in the oven at 350 for 1.5 hours. It calls for some other things, but I just winged it.
The whole thing is 5 servings but I just broke it up into 4.

We needed a quick meal and wanted to use some of the tortillas and rotisserie chicken. So we made the usual Huevos Rancheros. Nothing really to it. Just used up the rotisserie and some smokey sauce
