Marathon cooking day


Once again, the weather is rainy and cold. So my thinking was to make more comfort food. I set out to the market for ingredients to prep Ina Garten's Parker's Beef Stew, The Neely's Mama's Lasagna, Marcela Valladolid Chilaquiles with Roasted Tomatillo Salsa, and another batch of chocolate chip cookies.
Now during the week last week, I did have the opportunity to make a delicious Chicken Scalopini from the Oprah's Favorite Cookbook. The chicken was breaded in pine nuts, parmesian, and panko crumbs. It was amazing.

The finished product. Had to ask my husband not to eat the left overs so we could have more the next night.

I've realized that I tend to bite off more than I can chew and cooking and prepping all these meals for the week has really drained me. I need a nap now. Fortunately, they all look delicious; however, was very disappointed in the chilaquiles as I may have undercooked the tortillas (it was more soft than a slight crunch). Anyway, I sprinkled it with feta (no Mexican cheese in the house) and took a few bites. Great salsa. Not my favorite dish.
