We Like to Eat Around Here

If I weren't in school I think I'd become a chef. Or I'd at least try lots of new recipes every week. This week I made French Onion Soup! I also experimented with a tropical pork and rice dish - it was okay.

I forgot to mention - over the break we had a cooking competition for my mom's birthday. Each couple was a team and we competed against each other. Dave and I won "Best Taste and Texture," "Best Main Dish," and "Best Use of Theme." For our main dish we made a spinach, turkey bacon, tomato, and mushroom stuffed chicken breast topped with a white wine sauce. The theme was "light and healthy." We had the chicken in the oven for 40 min cooking. We pulled the chicken out a few minutes before we had to serve it and it wasn't cooked - we had the wrong oven turned on! Our chicken was disqualified, so we served our sauce over some angel hair for the main dish!
