tendency to use comforter as body pillow, excessive warmth while
sleeping

(Healthier) Buffalo Wings, Alton Brown Style
For dinner on Tuesday, we tried an Alton Brown recipe for (healthier) chicken wings. The secret is to steam the wings first. Once steamed, roast them in the oven at 425° for 20 minutes, turn, and roast another 20 before coating in hot sauce. These were so yummy and I’d highly recommend them, and, to boot, you don’t have to worry about the deep frying or – worse – cleaning up the deep frier once you’re done.

2) chicken in the steamer; 3) fresh and healthy out of the steamer

4) after the initial 20 minute roasting; and, 5) in the bowl with the hot sauce … omg yummy!

Poissons en Papillote
On Monday night we opted for fresh rainbow trout done in parchment paper. This was simply fabulous, fresh and when served with a side salad, again, very healthy. Best of all, no fishy smells in the house afterwards. We want to try this one with salmon and see how it goes.

6) gently pan fry your veggies; 7) thyme, trout, button tomatoes and some shaved carrot to start

    We’ve done salmon en papillote several times with great success.  It helps achieve that silky, not-overdone texture that I prize in salmon.
