Otto Pint — Fort Collins, CO
A recent road trip to California had me stuck right at the get go. I-80 in Laramie was closed due to a blizzard. I was snowed in at Fort Collins but ventured out for sustenance. Otto Pint was near my hotel. Delicious pizza.
Mother’s Cafe — Portland, OR
I traveled to Portland and met up with some friends. We enjoyed Bloody Marys at Mother’s Cafe.
Italian Chicken with Tomato Basil Salsa
For the chicken: 2 thin chicken breasts (either buy them thin-sliced or pound them flat) 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise, divided Progresso Italian bread crumbs Salt Pepper Heat a non-stick skillet on medium high heat. Spread mayonnaise onto each side of the chicken. Some folks use buttermilk. I’ve found that mayonnaise keeps the chicken really nice and moist […]
2015 — Blue Apron
I didn’t realize we had fixed/eaten so many of their meals in 2015. Here’s to another year of cooking.

Rosemary-Basted Steak
With Rosemary Parsnip Wedges and Garlicky Creamed Spinach……from Hello Fresh. The steak in this meal is way up there in our list of favorites. Tender, juicy and very flavorful.

Teriyaki-Glazed Meatballs
Tonight dinner is brought to you by Hello Fresh. It was our first go with this meal-kit service. There was a lot of food. It was pretty tasty. Hello Fresh has the most attractive packaging. All the ingredients for a particular meal are placed in a pretty box (the meat is kept separate). Ingredients: 10 […]
Steak Frites, Creamy Shallot Sauce, and Sautéed Spinach
We are experimenting with other meal-kit services and this was our first meal by Plated. Two thumbs up. Nice recipe cards with clear instructions and photos.
