It’s not as if I haven’t been cooking lately… Really… It’s just that I’ve been doing a lot of other things, too – and somehow, this has gotten shuffled to the bottom of the deck.

The other night, I pounded a couple of chicken breasts, stuffed them with mushrooms, celery, onions, and parsley, then baked at 350 for about 45 minutes. I made some spelt pilaf, braised some escarole, made a simple dill cream sauce (thin white sauce with cream and dill…) and it was yummy! Prep time was about 10 minutes, and the cooking was all unattended. Well – except for the escarole, which was about 3 minutes – maybe…

Victor had made a pear cake the day before, so dessert was taken care of, too. A day without dessert is like – a day without dessert! I’ll have to get Victor to post the recipe! It’s actually an apple cake, but… we had pears…

Right now, there’s some cubed beef on the stove simmering with some Mexican Red Sauce. It smells great! More about that when it’s ready!
