It has been a couple of weeks now that I have had a kitchen in which to putter around.
With so many wonderful restaurants and cafes nearby we definitely still do our share of eating out, but it is nice to be able to eat in when we want to.
Although the kitchenette is tiny and equipped with the very basics it is still possible to produce delicious meals using a few simple ingredients and techniques.
It always amazes me how much we can do without when necessary.
It is a challenge I have been up to!
At the same time I’ve struggled to keep my shopping to a minimum buying ingredients that will lend themselves to several different dishes.
So here are several meals we have enjoyed recently…
Roasted chicken with carrots, celery, and onions like my grandmother made..
Spaghetti with Shrimp Scampi
Pan seared Alaskan salmon with orzo cooked risotto style with onions, thyme, and chicken broth
Grilled Chicken and roasted potatoes with garlic and rosemary, broccolini, and salad
Egg Salad Lunch
Sauteed chicken with garlic, rosemary, thyme, and lemon with brown rice and fresh green beans with olive oil and lemon zest
