Wine-Braised Vegetables with Garlic-Herb Butter


Once again, I found myself with some fresh vegetables I'd forgotten I owned that needed to be used or they were going to go bad. Since I was already making Pork Marsala for dinner, I thought I'd add some colour and texture variety to the plate with them, but being me I went just a bit further than normal. What I ended up with was a really tasty side dish that will definitely happen again, with these and/or other vegetables.

Hot 'n Sweet Chicken Stir-Fry


Well, would you look at this! I not only had time to cook, I had time to create a new recipe *and* remembered to take pictures of the process so I could write a blog post! And then for the cherry on top, I have time to actually write the blog post! It's a November miracle, folks... Work is usually so crazy busy this time of year I'm lucky if I'm grabbing some Pop Tarts or a banana if I'm not getting fed while I'm there.

So. I decided to call this one Sweet n' Hot Chicken Stir-Fry. I was originally going for a sweet & sour kind of deal, but then I segued into more hot than sour, so there you have it. As always, I skipped the rice to save on carbs (but you'll see later I ruined that by doing potatoes), but you should feel free to serve it over rice or pasta or whatever if you'd rather.
