Pesto Dinner

We got a new food processor last night, and we used it to make pesto.  I put too much garlic in. But it was still good. I also had a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie for dessert that was tasty. I forgot to take pictures, though.

Leftovers

I had two servings of the leftover pasta, since Kendra didn't like it.




I also had a few more of those mint chocolate UFOs from Trader Joe's.

Pasta With Lemon Asparagus Cream Sauce

Sunday night, Kendra picked a recipe and we made it.  We started with just a simple salad of carrots, cucumbers, avocado, and tomato.



Next was the main course.  We started by peeling some asparagus, sauteing it with some garlic, then mixing in some cream and lemon zest (and a tiny bit of finger zest).  Then we mix it all in with some pasta.  The recipe called for fettuccine but we didn't have it, so it came out a little dry (since the ratio of surface area to volume is much higher for spaghetti).  Kendra didn't like it, but I thought it was great.  I topped it with some shredded Romano cheese.

Green Been And Bell Pepper Sauté

For dinner tonight, Kendra made this delicious green been and bell pepper sauté with garlic. I think it was originally supposed to have more of an Italian feel to it, but we dumped in some chili sauce to give it more of an Asian feel.  We also added mushrooms.  It was really good.


I went back for seconds.


It was a pretty low-calorie dinner, so I rewarded myself with some taro bubble tea, shown partly consumed here.

Leftover Lunch

I worked from home today because I wasn't feeling so well.  So for lunch, I just had some leftovers from last night.  A little bit of pasta with sundried tomato alfredo sauce.


And some tofu provençal. Yum!

Fancy-Ish Dinner At Game Night

Dinner tonight was at our friends' house for game night.  We made some fettuccine with sun-dried tomato alfredo sauce.


Kendra also whipped up an excellent batch of Tofu Provençal, which is so easy to make and so delicious and healthy.  It has tofu, green beans, tomatoes, onion, and garlic.


Our hosts prepared some delicious bruschetta.


And they also provided some delicious pear cider.


One of the other guests brought a home-baked lattice-top blackberry pie.


Which went nicely with a little ice cream.


While playing games later, we had some of this delicious chocolate.


And even more cider, this time, apple.


What a great evening!
