Breakfast for Dinner - Sunday Night Dinner

Zach's rockin' the pink knife.

It was the boys’ turn to make dinner this week, so they did the next best thing: breakfast. A little scary at the start (would you like some egg with those eggshells?). But they surprised us all and pulled through.

Look at all that multitasking!

That's right, I like those hash browns well done.

Get excited for a future post about my only slightly less successful breakfast-for-dinner attempt - a giant blueberry pancake made on a George Foreman grill.

Chicken Pesto Pasta - Sunday Night Dinner

2nd homemade meal of the year = cooking for 8 people?? Probably not one of my smartest moments, but Mary and I pulled through.

Fast forward 20 years.

We actually ended up cooking enough pasta for a small country (I think this might be a common theme this year).

Hungry man Chris's plate is always the prettiest.

Homemade pesto pasta with chicken + more chicken + tom-mozz-greens balsamic salad + garlic bread + jp licks. I won't lie to you - it got pretty good reviews at the table.

Shrimp Pasta Diavolo - Sunday Night Dinner

Kicking off the new school year with a bang! Thanks to this handy guide:

"Patience is a waste of time."

I managed to whip up my first homemade meal of the year. And considering that I made enough to feed all the freshmen on campus, this could easily be the only meal I need to make this year.

I've got plenty of leftovers.

On the menu tonight was a shrimp pasta diavolo with a side of zucchini par moi, and a hearty steak and potatoes whipped up by my housemate, Mary. And don't forget our ultimate taste tester/food critic/hungry man Chris.

What’s better is that it was all done in under 25 minutes. Food Network, here I come!
