!חג חנוכה שמח

Happy Hannukah from QCC! Last night, the first night of Hannukah, I had a Hannukah/Shabbat dinner here with some friends. I had a fun time setting the table with our blue plate ware from Adam's family and lots of gelt and dreidels.

For dinner, I made some oldies but goodies: kosher roast chicken, green beans, and a salad. Also featured are some delicious latkes courtesy of Chef Cohen and a store-bought challah courtesy of Wegman's.

weekend delights

This weekend I made a recipe from Bon Apetit magazine, given to me by my mother, and featured before on QCC: a Chile Cheese Tart (a quiche, basically). The tart features eggs, cheddar cheese, chile peppers, hot sauce, ground pepper, all whisked together and baked in a pie crust. Yum! We enjoyed the quiche for a couple nights and there is still some left over.

I also made a chicken ceasar salad this weekend. I roasted 2 split chicken breasts (bone-in), removed the meat and put some on top of my homemade ceasar. There was extra chicken so I mixed some of the chicken in Frank's hot sauce and made us buffalo chicken wraps for Monday's lunch. Great weekend full of delicious food.

roast chicken as per ADG's request

It has been nearly a week since I updated, sorry to all my loyal QCC readers. Hopefully a double update tonight:
Last night I made my kosher roast chicken w/ roasted potatoes and GBs (green beans) for dinner last night. Adam ate all the leftover chicken today so I guess it turned out pretty good.

Elul Shabbat party!!

Shabbat dinner party/Elul Celebration with Adam, Ari and Yelena. I made my standard delicious Shabbat dinner: roast chicken, roast potatoes, green beans in soy sauce, salad, and challah.
Tonight we also used the blue glass plate ware that Adam's family gave us! We love it and had a very delicious meal with good friends and wine. Shabbat shalom to all my loyal readers--all 5 of you :)!!

first shabbat dinner!

As you can see here, I cooked up a Louise Zemel inspired Shabbat dinner: roast kosher chicken, green beans, roasted potatoes, salad (gazebo room!), and a challah (store bought). It was delicious and the roomie and I definitly enjoyed it :)
5 nights of homecooking in a row, so tonight I took the night off and we went to anchor bar for authentic Buffalo wings...yummm. Wegman's tomorrow--have a good looking menu for the week ahead. Stay tuned!
