Chicken Marselena With Pepperoni

My MIL is here tonight, so my darling 11 year old son is cooking again tonight.  He did most of this, but he was getting spattered a lot during the sauteing of the chicken, so my very tall husband, with his face much further from the 'spitting cauldron of burning oil', took over for some of that.  But, other than that, my son made this by himself.  I offered him the post, but I figured I would do some, and if he wanted to add to it, he could.  This was a very tasty dish.  If I were to nit pick anything, and it was in no way related to flavor, it was that there is no mention of provolone in the ingredients, but at the end of the recipe it said put the cheese over it and let melt.  The cheese wasn't necessary, as the sauce was so very good, but we put it on anyways.  The chicken was tender and yummy, but the sauce stole the show for me.  The boys couldn't decide which they liked better and my MIL asked for the recipe so she could make it for a friend.  As with all recipes I get from my fellow bloggers, I put a link to the original site and just a list of what's in it so you know what to expect.  I would strongly advocate for searching out real marsala wine and not the cooking variety.  They add so much salt to questionable quality wine to make it legal to sell it as not alcohol, and that will make your end dish too salty.  I would rather add the salt myself and have the better wine in it.  I also couldn't decide which picture looked best so I put three:)

Pork Schnitzel with Dill Cream Sauce

Image
I am not the biggest fan of pork chops. I like pork tenderloin, bacon, ham, etc, but chops not so much. I do dig a good pan sauce however so I still was kind of excited. I do like good schnitzel, yes pork schnitzel, but this recipe did not produce that wonderful schnitzel I like. The sauce was pretty yummy and the boys didn't complain about the s so it must be my issues (again:).  My husband picked it off Pinterest and since it was from allrecipes.com I have no problem posting it here. (I am always a little concerned about allrecipes. I have had a few really good recipes, several fixable and a few bad recipes from them.)  I totally forgot about sides when I was at the store, so I cooked a half a box of whole wheat pasta I had cluttering up the pantry and tossed it with a bit of butter.   (and then dill sauce ;) And I steamed some broccoli too.  The boys rated it a 4 & a 4.5, I am torn because the sauce was a 4.5 for sure, the pork more like a 3 for me so....

Mollet Eggs Florentine

Image
Anytime I think I think I'm pretty good in the kitchen, I try to peel a boiled egg!  I have no idea how anyone can get those perfect, smooth eggs.  Mine look like surface of the moon or somewhere they test bombs!  It was meatless Monday, so in order to keep the boys from rebelling completely, I decide to make an egg dish. (they get some protein that way)  They looked beautiful, and except for the complete pain in the butt part (peeling the eggs) it wasn't too hard to make.  It was well received by my husband(he really liked it actually) , but the boy didn't care for it much.  (too much green IMO)  I thought it was good too despite the fact that I was ready to kill someone after "peeling" the eggs)  It is Jacques Pepin recipe I found on pinterest.   Only thing I might suggest is when he says to shake the pan to crack the eggs, I think he means gently move the eggs until they crack.  I had two casualties after the "shake"  That was ok, the girl wasn't

Ravioli In Mushroom-Walnut Cream Sauce

Image
I found this recipe in the to try file and it looked good, and was quick and easy. Perfect for meatless Monday. Now that mushrooms aren't a veto ingredient for my son, I was totally psyched to have this.  I searched for the source of this recipe, and i found it on the olive garden website. This wasn't where I got it from, but it read identical. While this wasn't an omg dish, I totally dug the heavy mushroom content.  I said 3.5. The boy, who still doesn't like mushrooms, said 2.5. My husband started out at rating it a 3, but when I saw him scraping his plate to get the last if the sauce, he agreed it was a 3.5.  I'm fully aware that my love and lack of mushrooms skewed me in favor of this dish. I made sure to stir the mushroom/walnut mixture. I was afraid it would burn the nuts. I think next time, I would start the mushrooms for a bit before I add the walnuts.  And the dish felt like it needed salt, until the end where it seemed all the parm was lurking, so I guess
