Steak!! How fancy!

Since my wonderful Grandmamee sent me back to school with a 6 pound beef tenderloin, I figured it was high time to have a small gathering. Part of my rec league co-ed basketball team came over and despite the fact that there weren’t enough veggies, we had a really yummy dinner!
The Menu:
Rosemary and garlic tenderloin… Such an easy recipe from William Sonoma!
Roasted sweet potatoes (pretty generic stuff but oh so yummy even to our picky, “non-sweet potato” eaters
French green beans… Made by Jordan but burnt by me when I forgot all the things going on in the kitchen!
Blackberry cobbler and vanilla ice cream!! My absolute favorite dessert! I’ll share the recipe!

Take your blackberries and wash them. Put them down in your casserole dish and make your crust out of one egg one cup of flour and one cup of sugar. squeeze half a lemon over the blackberries then pour your crust crumble over the mixture. Then melt a stick of butter and pour over the top of the crust and blackberries!

Just because you eat alone doesn’t mean it cant be delicious!!

So in an effort to save money, to eat the chicken thats been in my freezer since November and to eat a delicious dinner before class, I cooked my own speedy meal. By no means was it a complicated meal. I defrosted a chicken breast, heated up some olive oil in the pan and flopped the chicken in. Then I sprinkled in some black pepper, salt and red pepper flakes. Waited not so patiently until it was done (made some risotto in the meantime). When I say patiently I mean I cut the chicken in half so it cooked faster… Then I cut up some tomatoes, put them in the pan with the chicken, cooked them for a bit then put it on my plate then put it in my belly! Yum yum!!

Speedy salmon

My friend made this for me for dinner tonight and it was the second best salmon I’ve ever eaten! Second to Dad’ big green egg salmon! We ate the rest of the risotto from last night and steam fresh green beans jazzed up with a little lemon, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese! So quick and easy!
