Indian Spiced Vegetables

The usual.  Pretty tasty.  Go last day of September!

Lentil Spinach (Chard) Soup

Jamie Oliver, pg 137.  Pretty much followed the recipe, except used chard instead of spinach.

Fasty Tacos

The three of us really appreciated them tonight.  Julia will too.

Raspberry Buttermilk Cake

Using fresh raspberries of course!  Our top oven cooks weird though.

Pesto Pasta

The usual pesto recipe, but used walnuts instead of pine nuts this time.  Put in peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli.

Chimichangas

We haven't made these in a long time.  They were tasty as per usual.

Put a whole chicken breast (or more) into boiling water, return to boil, cover and turn off the heat.  Let sit for 15 minutes or so until it's cooked.  Cool slightly and shred.

Mix the shredded chicken with a can or two of beans and a good amount of chilis.  We used hatch this time since we had that.  Add some cumin and chili powder.  Mix well.

Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray.  Put a good amount of filling on flour tortillas, add some shredded cheese, wrap and lightly brush the tortilla with water.  Place on the cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes until the tortillas are crispy.  Top with guacamole.

Next time we might put the queso in before the filling.  It might keep it from oozing out as much when it baked.  But since we sprayed the sheet with oil they didn't really stick either.

Slow-Baked Salmon with Lemon and Thyme

Bon Appetit, May 2011.  Also epicurious

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Slow-Baked-Salmon-with-Lemon-and-Thyme-365151

We used a one pound fillet and kept the lemon/thyme amount the same.  Ended up baking it for a half hour or so.  Next time we should cut the one big piece into smaller pieces.  Served with acorn squash and rye bread.  We thought it was delicious, Julia less so (but she still ate a lot).

Real easy dinner.
