Me the Foodie
I’ve been getting bored with protein shakes and Lean Cuisine, So after watching Julie & Julia (I couldn’t sleep and that was the only movie I haven’t watched on Ninja Video yet) I became inspired. I et online to look for high-protein recipes and found a website called http://www.recipezaar.com/recipes/high-protein. Being a Foodie can be pretty expensive I’ve learned. In the past 3 days I’ve spent over $60 in groceries alone. $7 just for a dash of spice. It was worth it though, here are my creations:
On Monday I made Chicken Breast Stuffed with Avocado, Sun-dried Tomato, Basil and Parmesan Cheese. I was delicious and tarty, but it was also a bit dry. I didn’t make a vegetable and instead took French bread slices that I cooked in the leftover olive oil from searing the chicken and served it with a bruschetta that was pretty bland. When I looked at the recipe again, the author of it served the chicken atop asparagus with holindase sauce. Holindase sauce would have been perfect.
On Tuesday I made Chicken in Provencal Sauce with Garlic Red Smashed Potatoes. This dish was yummie!!! The recipe called for a reduced-sodium chicken broth, which I didn’t use, and the sauce was very salty, but I still loved it. I also bought some bread that I crisped in the oven and was awesome for dipping into the sauce. I was so pleased with myself when I made this dish. Wow was it good!
Last night I made Chicken Parmesan. It’s an easy dish to make and is pretty hard to get wrong. I was watching College Basketball all evening and just wanted some comfort food to watch the games with. Plus I bought an 8-pack of chicken breasts on Monday so I had to make another chicken recipe. Thank God I got no calls last night because Chicken Parm sits heavy in the stomach. I did sleep like a baby, though.
I don’t know what I’m going to make tonight. Probably fresh pizza with dough you can but at Fresh and Easy. Wish I had a wood stove to make it in. Oh well, we’ll see what happens.
P.S. I’m now getting advice from my friend Yoram Ravid, who is a Celebrity Chef in Los Angeles. Under Yoram’s tutelage, maybe soon movie stars will call me to cook for them, too!
