We've got guests tonight, lasagna, garlic bread, salad and a lemon curd-filled jelly roll style cake.

Last night I made lamb patties with lots of garlic, thyme, black pepper, sea salt, and some miso-ginger dressing. Broiled them, and topped them with slivers of raw onion and some fat-free feta cheese.

I also had a green salad with radishes, orange bell pepper, carrot, onion and Granny Smith apple, dressed with the miso-ginger dressing.

I like to do something fun for Friday dinner, so I think I'll make cheesesteaks with peppers & onions tonight. I've been really sick the whole week, so I probably won't eat a lot- which is a good thing!

I'm eating leftovers. Last night I made a hearty veggie Mulligan stew and spooned it over garlic mashed potatoes like an upside down Shepard's Pie. I'm eating the same only with regular mashed potatoes. I'm out of garlic! I can't believe I allowed myself to run out of garlic... might be a first, but in my defense the air quality has me not breathing well, and I blame the lack of oxygen.

Last night was spicy lentil soup, and nachos. With low-fat cheddar and lots of veggies...and lots of salsa and yogurt. M'mmm.

Tonight will probably be a beef stir fry with sugar snap peas.

Well, if I have to cook, we'll be having whatever I can get delivered!

I feel like hell and have to travel tomorrow, so it's gonna be sushi delivered or pizza.

(by sushi, I mean cucumber and avocado rolls because I do NOT eat fish or seafood of any kind.)

LS does the hummus in our household. The last one I made tasted awful. Using roasted garlic sounds like a really good idea. We need to get some chick peas soaking.

Last night we had bruschetta, lentil salad and potato wedges. Very yummy.

It is really good and super easy- I roast about 5 large cloves with a bit of olive oil in a pyrex dish in the toaster oven. Once they're cool, they go into the food processor with 2 cans of (drained) chick peas. Add a little parsley, crushed red pepper and lemon juice and then puree with enough olive oil to make it smooth. Voila!
My 3 year old son loves it as well- he eats gobs of it with carrots.

Anyway, tonight I'm making baked chicken alfredo pasta. I'm a little embarassed to admit that my inspiration was a Pizza Hut commercial, but I figured I could make the pasta they were advertising just as easily. I saute boneless chicken breasts in garlic and oil until they're nicely browned and then chop them and add to cooked whole wheat rotini with a parmesan & mozzarella cheese sauce. Bake the whole thing until its nice and bubbly. It's really good and probably a lot better for you than the delivery version.

A salad last night: dark mixed greens, orange bell pepper, thin slices of carrot, cucumber, lots of red cabbage, no fat feta cheese, and marinated green olives. Dressed with sesame dressing & salt and pepper.

Then we went to Thayer Street and stopped in to a cafe to get gelato. I had Nutella. M'mmmm!

Tonight just something really fast; I've got a lot going on.

And Friday...something with sugar snap peas!

We're having broiled pan fish (caught by my son last weekend) with rice and salad. Nothing fancy, but it's ready in a hurry (I have a rehearsal tonight).

It's a fairly new spot, a couple of years old, I think. The guys who run it are from Italy.

Isn't there at least one place on Newbury Street where you can get gelato? I know you'll be able to find plenty in the North End! Even at Mike's, I think.

Dinner last night turned out to be a spinach salad with strawberries & mozzarella with spicy peanuts, and a balsamic vinaigrette. Washed down with a great big martini.

Tonight we're going out...don't know where at this point.
