Int food week : Italianesque

TUES: minestrone soup (bacon, onion, carrots, cannellini (white kidney) beans)) with french bread; brocolli quiche. yum.
Only thing is, if I call this meal Italian, does that mean I cant make any pasta later on in the week??

洋 baby, yo!

I have had these baby potatoes sitting around for a while now, just waiting for the perfect opportunity to be boiled up and teamed with a lovely, regular, western meal. So it goes:

♦ grilled pork chops(seasoned with s+p), served with apple sauce
♦ boiled baby potatoes, served with butter
♦ honey glazed carrots
♦ green bean amandine
♦ pumpkin
♦ steamed cabbage


I would have had some nice fresh bread with it, but fell asleep putting K down for her afternoon nap, and then didn't have enough time to set the bread maker to be ready before dinner, oops. And wouldn't you know it, the first thing J asks when he sits down "isn't there any bread?? where are the carbs?" (doh- whacha call potatoes, dahhhhling?)

The green beans done in almond were absolutely delish! What a find, will be making this again for sure!
