Chicken Parm....in a meatloaf?!

I was leary on making this because hubby hates meatloaf. Hates it with a passion, and when I first mentioned this recipe he said "don't even bother making it, i will hate it."
HAHAH to him cause he LOVED IT. and told me to make it again! Give it a whirl, you will like it.

1 egg
1/4 breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 small onion, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup pasta sauce (homemade or store bought)
1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
minced parsley for garnish

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a loaf pan with cooking spray, set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, thyme, oregano, basil, garlic, onion, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. To not over handle the mixture otherwise it will get tough. Place the mixture in the greased loaf pan and form into a loaf. Top the meatloaf with pasta sauce.

TGIF...or is it??

It's amazing outside today. Down right spring like. I should be thrilled it's Friday. But I'm not.
Why?
'Cause my house is a flipping disaster area!! I swear FEMA is going to be knocking on my door soon. We've been so busy we haven't had the time to just be home and clean. Every weekend has been something lately, no time for just us. Well, I'm sad to say, this weekend is it.
I have 6 loads of laundry to iron, fold, and put away.
My office is a hot mess and needs to be organized.
The Valentine decor needs to come down and be put away and the St. Patty's Day needs to come out. (and yes I know I do this part to myself, but I can't help but be festive. If you met my mother you would know why I am like this.)
The kitchen needs a good scrubbing.
The bathroom needs a power washing.
the floors, the carpets, the windows, the dog beds, etc, etc, etc.

Now you see why I am not thrilled?
I even thought maybe I could coax my husband into letting me hire someone just this once to clean. Even the promise of sexual favors didn't work.

But WAHOO for it being 55 outside today.

God damn, I love my crock pot.

So we switched up the days on our menu planning. This was suppose to be for tomorrow, but I was home sick today. The last time I made this recipe it wasn't as flavorful as I wanted, so today i put in a cup and a half of white wine and added potatoes to the mix as well.

That was like a party in my mouth!

here's a link to the recipe, Thank you to Erin from City Mouse in a Country House for the recipe!

And help me welcome my cousin to the blogosphere! She got married yesterday and is ready to blog recipes and try new ones out. Hi Mrs. Herald!!

A Valentine's Feast, with a slight change of plans...

Paul was going to make the Pimento Cheese Stuffed Chicken, but then realized he bought the chicken breasts too thin...so instead of him leaving to go back to the store, i told him to just take a different recipe from the week we had planned out and use that. So that's what he did, and he did it well. It was really good. I can't even explain how strange it was to lay on the couch with "What Not To Wear" playing while he cooked and made the house smell divine. A strange feeling, but not one that I wouldn't mind again.

We also managed to grab a Boston Creme Pie while at the grocery store and had that for dessert. it was delicious! Anyway, on to the recipe! Courtesy of Cooking Light Magazine.

4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steak and Potatoes

Once again, a couple new recipes from the Food Network Magazine this month.

SO good.

Rosemary Chips

Directions
Toss 1 1/2 pounds thinly sliced russet potatoes with 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary, 1 grated garlic clove, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of cayenne. Spread on a baking sheet; roast in a 500 degrees F oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Flip the potatoes and cook until golden and crisp, 8 more minutes. Season with salt.

Balsamic Steak with Radicchio
Ingredients
4 6-ounce beef eye round steaks
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 to 2 teaspoons sugar, plus a pinch
1 clove garlic, sliced
2 heads radicchio, torn into pieces
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced, plus more for topping
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (preferably aged)
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, sliced, plus leaves for topping
Directions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon butter, swirling the pan to coat. Add the steaks, sprinkle them with a pinch of sugar, and sear until golden brown on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, 2 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil.

Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Add the garlic and cook 20 seconds. Add the radicchio in batches, tossing until wilted. Sprinkle with 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and vinegar and cook until the vinegar evaporates slightly, about 1 minute. Add the broth and cook until the radicchio is tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the basil. Transfer the radicchio to plates using tongs. Continue cooking the sauce until it thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter.

Thinly slice the steak and add to the plates. Drizzle with the sauce and top with more sun-dried tomatoes and basil.

Hubby made dinner!

This never happens. I mean, ok he sometimes makes the occasional tacos or grilled cheese, but a full blown dinner with a RECIPE....never.

When we bought our new Nissan Rogue I told him we had to cut back on the "Patty is sick of cooking lets order out" nights, and he would have to help me out. Well, he stuck to his word and made an amazing meal this week.

We got the new Food Network Magazine and the cover recipe looked outstanding. So Paul took it and made it!

The house smelled amazing. The food deslicious. And my husband totally proud of himself.

Pea-Prosciutto Sauce

we served over 4 cheese raviolis.

Directions
Cook 4 ounces chopped prosciutto in a skillet with 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until crisp, 4 minutes. Stir in 3 sliced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon tomato paste; cook 1 minute. Ladle in 1 cup pasta-cooking water and simmer until reduced by half, 4 minutes. Add 1/4 cup heavy cream and simmer until thickened, 3 minutes. Toss with 1 pound cooked ravioli, 1 cup blanched frozen peas and some chopped parsley. Top with grated parmesan.

Ok Uterus, I hear you!

We got to hang out with a couple of our best friends last night, and their little munchkin. He's so darn cute, that I swear my uterus was screaming for me to pay attention and get on it. I know I need to before its too late, but why does it freak me out so much? Is this normal??
We spoke last night about trying together so our kiddos would have a best bud, and I'm dying for my own, but the thought of me having a baby freaks.me.out.
Maybe this all has to do with the fact that I turn *gulp* 30 next month. I always pictured myself in a house with a white picket fence and 2 kids by 30. Instead I'm in an apartment, with a husband and 2 crazy dogs, and I've been laid off twice since graduating college. I quite sure I'm not the only one who has had setbacks nowadays.

I just needed to get that out.

The sun is shining today, so I'm going to take that as a good sign of a good day to come.

Oh dear lord in heaven!

That dinner was amazing.

I'm not sure why i hadn't made this before, but I am so glad i remembered the recipe when I went grocery shopping.

Crispy Ranch Chicken

Ingredients:
2 Cup(s) Rice Krispies ( i used panko breadcrumbs instead)
1/2 Cup(s) grated Parmesan cheese
1 Package(s) Ranch dressing mix
2 beaten egg whites
8 chicken thighs, boneless (i used chicken breasts instead)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Combine rice cereal, Parmesan cheese, and ranch salad dressing mix in a large bowl.

Place beaten egg whites in a medium bowl. Dip each chicken thigh into the egg whites and then in the cereal mixture to coat evenly.

Arrange the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden and juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife, 20-25 minutes. Serve hot.

I actually pounded out the chicken breasts and then cooked them in a frying pan with a little olive oil. Took only 10 min. that way, and they were so juicy.

Garlic Flatbreads with Smoked Mozzarella and Tomato Vinaigrette



Serving Size 1 wedge (makes 12)
Ingredients
* Flatbreads:
* 1/4 cup whole wheat flour (about 1 ounce)
* 1 cup warm water (100° to 110°), divided
* 1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
* 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided (about 10 ounces)
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* Cooking spray
* 1 teaspoon cornmeal
* 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
* Topping:
* 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
* 2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1 garlic clove, minced
* 3/4 cup halved red cherry tomatoes (about 4 ounces)
* 3/4 cup halved yellow cherry tomatoes (about 4 ounces)
* 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded smoked mozzarella cheese
* 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil

Preparation

To prepare flatbreads, lightly spoon whole wheat flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup water, and yeast in a bowl; let stand 10 minutes.

Lightly spoon all-purpose flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 3/4 cup water in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture, and stir until a dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough of remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel sticky). Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.)

Preheat oven to 450°.

Punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 9-inch circle on a lightly floured surface; place on baking sheets sprinkled with cornmeal. Lightly coat dough with cooking spray. Sprinkle dough evenly with sliced garlic; press garlic into dough using fingertips. Bake at 450° for 10 minutes or until crisp and garlic begins to brown. Remove flatbreads from oven; cool on wire racks.

To prepare topping, combine vinegar, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and minced garlic in a medium bowl. Add tomatoes; toss gently.

Preheat broiler.

Sprinkle each flatbread with 1/2 cup cheese; broil flatbreads 1 minute or until cheese melts. Remove from oven; top each flatbread with half of tomato mixture. Sprinkle each flatbread with 1/4 cup basil. Cut each flatbread into 6 equal wedges.

I bet you'll never guess what is going on outside right now...

SNOW!

I know I live in New England, and I know I'm sort of asking for since I live here, but this is nuts. Once a week we have a major storm. Since the day after Christmas we have had over 64.5 inches.

The snow mounds from all the plowing are nuts! One town has a snow bank that hits the top of the street light! That is just not right.

Well for those of you who aren't in the area, you can enjoy these pictures from various sources of the area right now. We are bracing for another storm that could drop over another foot of snow on us tonight/tomorrow, and then apparently Saturday looks like another storm...and possibly next Tuesday as well.

Grab your sleds folks!
