Loved it. It reminded Airan and me of a restaurant in Greeley, Hunan, where we used to dine far too often in our college days.
Good and good for you. And Sophie ate it like it was candy, which shocked us all.
I don't do peas. Otherwise, this recipe was great. And half of my kids devoured it. (I think Evie's on a hunger strike.)
Delish, and so easy! Thanks to Lady and the Tramp, Sophie loves to eat anything that looks like spaghetti. However, Evie's hunger strike continues. I'd like to get my hands on some real lo mein noodles and try this one again. The vermicelli was good, but I think authentic noodles would be even better.
Day Five: Risotto with Porcini Mushrooms and Mascarpone(from Cooking Light, September 2007)
I liked it, although I think I like this chicken piccata recipe better. Rachel's was probably easier and faster, and the family seemed to think the two recipes are equally good.
Tonight, it's back to chili-cheese tator tots.
What I learned from this week's adventure:
- Meal planning is smart! And not that hard!
- I need new knives in a bad way. (And someone has a birthday
coming up...)
- When planning meals, remember to plan side dishes as well. Oops.

I meant to post this on Friday, but my Internet connection went down and is STILL DOWN. I have the shakes from Internet withdrawal. I'm starting to have hallucinations about checking my email and playing World of Warcraft. If this goes on much longer, my sanity will be in serious jeapordy. Do you think the friendly coffee shop with the free wireless connections will mind if I just move in?
Thanks for taking pictures! A reader asked me to do it, but I never remember until all there is to photograph is an empty plate.
I still prefer the "crutches" method. That way Dad does all the cooking.
The only bad part is the pain in my leg.
If I EVER get better I will give this recipes a try. For the most part they look quick and easy. Now if I could just get your father to cut the icky skin off the salmon for me, so that I can pretend I'm not touching a fish.
Everything looks so good! I will be stealing ideas soon.
Fabulous! Fabulous! Fabulous! Thanks for the food pictures. I'm inspired. Maybe I will actually cook instead of making exclusive use of the nucrowave tomorrow.
Great photos of the food; it all looks delicious. If you need more meal planning ideas, I do a weekly post called "Monday Meal Planning" with weekly meals and recipes.
we're going to try that salmon dish pronto! thanks for sharing. :)
a question about the salmon recipe: is the butter/soy sauce/garlic powder mixture to be used as a sauce? or do you combine it with the oil to sautee the fish?
Hey, AMO!
Use the butter/soy/garlic mixture to baste the salmon steaks once
they're in the pan. When the first side is down, load up the raw,
upward-facing side of the fish with generous amounts of the butter
mix. Then, after you flip it over, add a bunch more to the now-cooked
second side.
I hope you enjoy it! We had it two weeks in a row, and speaking as a
non-fish-eater, I loved it!
great--thanks for the clarification. we may not do it tonight, because we just had salmon on saturday, but it will definitely be soon. :)
have a great day!
Yummy! I want to come and live with you! :D
I made Rachael Ray's Swedish Meatball Stoup last week, and it was super-yummy. It's from her 365 book. Let me know if you don't have it, and I'll copy the recipe for ya. Really easy and soooo good. Not the most appropriate right now weather-wise, but I didn't care it was so good.
Great menu, pix and concluding remarks. Thanks for the new recipe ideas. They are now in my "To try" recipe queue.
The pasta and prosciutto dish looks amazing! And I love this idea--perhaps we'll have to try it out! Thanks for sharing your tips, recipes, and the idea itself!
