pumpkin butter & marmalade

I marinated some boneless breasts in olive oil and garlic, threw them onto a roasting pan with some more garlic and grape tomatoes.

The beets are a mix of golden and red, roasted, peeled, tossed with red onion, feta, olive oil, and cider vinegar.

Baked potato is self-explanatory.

This dinner was so simple, but had a lot of flavor and the chicken was soo tender. Beets are one of my favorite foods.

Lentils aren't so pretty. Delicious, though!

Broiled curry-rubbed chicken breasts; oven roasted cauliflower and broccoli with garlic and hot pepper flakes; greens with olives, red onion, tomatoes, and sheep's milk feta!

Christmas Eve, 2008. Stuffed with garlic, breadcrumbs, ground turkey, herbs and crushed red pepper.

These were the best thing on my plate last night.

I think these are particularly beautiful vegetables.

Linguini with olive oil, garlic, pancetta, and clams.

The man loved it so much he declared it should be part of the regular rotation!

Probably the last dinner I will cook this year, unless the snowstorm prevents Chinese delivery!

Roasted chile oil cod, mashed potatoes, roasted brussel sprouts and asparagus.

I admit this isn't a great shot, however, all I could think about was this sweet, hot, delicious Bone Suckin' Mustard. Is that not a great name?? What can I say, I have a special place in my heart for condiments. Wishing you all a sweet, hot & tasty weekend!
