Curry Chicken Spinach Salad

This was meant for using left-over Thanksgiving turkey, which I fully intended on doing, but things got away from me. So I used regular chicken breast instead. Simple dish and really tasty. We used it as a main dish, but I felt like it wasn’t enough to run solo. I loved the dressing though.

Chicken w/ Bourbon Peach Butter

Chicken with bourbon peach butter, salad with avocados, and leftover melon gazpacho with “frizzled” prosciutto.  I’ve never made any kind of butter before, let alone butter with bourbon in it.  I used Maker’s Mark, but I don’t it matters.  Making peach butter was really easy, but very time consuming.  I didn’t realize it needed to be in the oven for over two hours.  Luckily I started dinner early today.  I wonder if it’s good on toast?  And that soup, it really shines when you have a spoonful of everything.  The prosciutto, the fresh mint, and the soup mixture.  Weird, but very good.  I’m sure you could substitute bacon instead of frizzled prosciutto.

Shrimp and White Bean Salad

Herbed shrimp and white bean salad, and corn bread muffins.  It’s amazing this turned out even halfway good.  I didn’t read the recipe other than glance over the ingredients.  I forgot some key ingredients and did things in the wrong order.  But it was still really really good.  I bet it’s even better if you actually read the directions.  The corn bread muffins seem random.  I was really wanting something junkfood-ish earlier today, and that was the best we had on-hand.  Smother them in enough butter and it’ll do the job.

Shrimp Cobb Salad

Shrimp cobb salad, and chicken and white bean soup. My shrimp didn’t look as good as the one on the recipe, but it did taste pretty good. The surprising one was the chicken and white bean soup. DANG! That stuff was awesome.

Chicken Parmesean Burgers w/ Quinoa Salad

Chicken Parmesan burgers, quinoa salad with artichokes and parsley, and green beans with shallots.  Everything was really good and easy to prepare except I think the quinoa salad didn’t fit the meal.  The parsley made it stick out too much from the others.  I used ground turkey instead of chicken, too.
