Well I’m half way done with this thirty-day no dining out challenge! I already have about 10 recipes bookmarked to try in the next few weeks. I love being inspired to try new things.
Heres hoping the next 15 days go as fast as the first!

Day 15: We had a great time eating dinner with friends. We made Grilled Chicken with Avocado Pico De Gallo served over yellow rice and peas and it turned out great. This is one of my favorite summer time dishes, when the peppers and tomatoes are in season and delicious.

Day 16: Class went by fast tonight! My Chef cringed at the idea of serving 3 white foods on a plate, but we were working on three different concepts and unfortunately they weren’t really colorful!
tonight’s menu in class:

Pork Au Poivre – Pepper crusted pork with a shallot cream sauce
Marinated, grilled potato medallions
Steamed cauliflower with mornay sauce (a cheesy cream sauce)
