So this week I cooked 3 successful dinners, one I already mentioned. I have been trying to find a tilapia recipe that Derek and I both enjoy. I love seafood but Derek not so much, however he is fine eating tilapia so I have been on the hunt for a good recipe. I finally found this one that we both enjoyed so here it is :
Here is Derek cooking up dinner, yum! I love our grill and the summer!
And Bristol helping!
Then last night I took a recipe and made it easier. You cook up some chicken and when it is done put a slice of prosciutto covering the chicken, sprinkle with basil, and put provolone cheese on top. Put a lid on the pan to melt the cheese and you have a tasty dinner. Derek loved it and I loved it because it was so simple :)
Tonight I was going to make a spinach quiche (yeah Derek was pretty excited) but we didn't have enough eggs so he made his invented recipe: grilled cheese with a sunny-side up egg in it!
I also got a valance for the kitchen sliding glass door. It is amazingly hard to find a black and white valance so I had all of 3 options online, and 2 of them sold out before I could buy them so this is what was left. If only I could just have blinds but that didn't work so well...
Derek looks creepy :)
We are also growing basil and rosemary, we used some rosemary last week and it was amazing. I can't wait for the basil to get bigger so I can make pesto. I also have a food chopper arriving in the mail sometime that will help with the pesto.
Both sets of parents are coming up this weekend for Mother's Day, mine Saturday and Derek's Sunday so we get to do a bit of grocery shopping tomorrow and some cleaning. I am also trying to pick a color for the exterior of our house so either I can paint it or I can hire somebody to paint it, I still haven't decided if I want to do it or not.
