January 2010

So, since I am so far behind I'm going to have to just go with the highlights for each month, starting with January.  We've been trying out lots of new recipes and trying to incorporate more seafood into our life.  This is pretty easy for Brian, but has been an adjustment for me.  I have liked what we've made though.


This is some shrimp that Brian marinated and cooked.  It's really good and I ask for it everytime we decide to make shrimp.

This is a cod fillet turned Mexican dish.  It was okay.  Not my favorite, but an interesting recipe.

So, this isn't fish, but it was a delicious sweet and sour chicken recipe.  We loved it!  

So, January also happens to be the month that Brian was born.  We celebrated his 33rd Birthday on January 28 (his actual birthday).  When I asked what Brian wanted for dinner he of course said pot roast, which is his favorite, but since I didn't think that it would work as well during the week, I mentioned that there was something I hadn't made for him yet that I think he would like.  So, I made...

Chicken Rolls!  Thanks Danielle for the awesome recipe so many years ago.  These are so great and Brian did love them!
 Now, on to the presents!


So, there wasn't going to be a cake because Brian and I were trying to limit eating so many sweets and desserts, but the day before his birthday Brian mentioned wanting a cake.  Sheesh!  :)

I really didn't have time to bake a cake so I went to a bakery and got us a small chocolate cake.  It was really, really rich, but good.


I think Brian had a great birthday.  It was fun surprising him.

Oh, and I ended up making him a pot roast for dinner a few days later on Sunday.  Lucky Boy!
