Vacation

Wow! It has been way too long! My family spent the last week in Palm Springs, CA escaping the midwestern winter temps and doing lots of lounging and eating. Each couple took turns making dinner. A couple of highlights - t-bone steaks from Costco (gool old Costco never fails!), cornflake chicken (I forgot how good this is - dip chicken breasts in plain yogurt, dredge in corn flakes and drizzle with melted butter, bake... YUM! Healthier than fried chicken but tastes similar!) Andrew and I cooked up burrito burgers, care of Rachael Ray - a tasty burger variation! (http://tinyurl.com/d63hr4).

Tonight, I am sticking with the Rachael Ray theme and making another recipe from her latest magazine - chicken with an orange/balsamic "gravy," green beans, asparagus and polenta. Stay tuned for results...
