Seafood Melody

Christian is a big seafood fan. If it comes from the water - he will eat it! Mussels are one of his favorites. When he brought a good report card home just over a week ago we told him that we would celebrate on the weekend. Unfortunately we, like many other families, had been sucked into the fast food reward program. Not this time! That Friday after school myself, Christian, and his baby brother Alexander, stopped by the grocery store and bought 4 lbs of mussels to celebrate at home. :) Millard made a melody of mussels, shrimp, and sole. He added garlic, onion, celery and a can of plum tomatoes. It was delicious!! And much better than stuffing Christian with a Happy Meal.

Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken

Made the below recipe for chicken tonight. It was yummy! It has been a long day and I totally forgot to take pictures of the chicken, but I wanted to post the recipe so that I wouldn't loose it. Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Ingredients 1/4 c Dijon mustard 1/3 c Honey 2 tbs Light Mayo 1 tbs Steak Sauce 4 Chicken Breasts (4oz ea) Directions 1. Preheat the grill for medium heat. 2. In a shallow bowl, mix the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and steak sauce. Set aside a small amount of the honey mustard sauce for basting, and dip the chicken into the remaining sauce to coat. 3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill chicken over indirect heat for 18 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, or until juices run clear. Baste occasionally with the reserved sauce during the last 10 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning!

Panini & Potatoes

Now that we`re over the Easter break it`s time to hop right back on track. Monday I really didn`t feel like cooking a real meal so I opted for sandwiches. I made Turkey-Ham-Cheddar-Avocado Panini`s. Normally we`d have potato chips or french fries on the side, but I made smashed potatoes instead that I found on the back of 'Compliments Brand Red Petites Potatoes' Roasted Smashed Greek Potatoes 2lbs red mini potatoes 1 head garlic, peeled 4 sprigs oregano 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice Toss raw potatoes together with garlic, 2 sprigs of oregano, olive oil, saltand pepper in a roasting pan. roast in a 400 degree F oven until tender, about 40 minuntes. Transfer to a bowl and lightly smash potatoes. Stir in feta cheese, remaining leaves of oregnao and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
