When my mother visited lately…
..she and Anton whipped up a scrumptious dinner: Ina Garten’s parmesan rooster. You mainly coat rooster breasts with flour, eggs, bread crumbs, and parmesan cheese; then sauté them and canopy with lemon-y salad greens.
The rooster was scrumptious and simple sufficient for the boys and me to make once more a couple of nights after my mother headed again to Michigan. (We served it right here with mashed potatoes and inexperienced beans, however the rooster and salad can be sufficient by itself, for those who wished to maintain it easy.)
A number of days later, Anton, Toby and I made rice and beans, plus a bunch of toppings: crimson peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, corn, rotisserie rooster, crushed taco shells, cheddar cheese, bitter cream, and scorching sauce. We piled every thing into bowls and ate collectively on the couch. “Mother, it’s best to pat your self on the again for this dinner,” Toby mentioned, as Anton loaded up his third serving to. All in all, a crowdpleaser!
I’ve at all times teased myself for being a nasty prepare dinner — and it’s true that I’m not nice — however I can make a couple of issues reliably. Listed below are 5 issues in our rotation:
Coconut rooster and rice (we omit the rooster broth to make it extra like curry and fewer like soup)
Bonus: something — say, a frozen pizza, rotisserie rooster, or spaghetti with tomato sauce — together with a caesar salad (my boys wolf this).
