Pan seared steak marinated with cognac with bacon wrapped scallops and a side of batter dipped fried zucchini
One pot Greek chicken, lemon rice and roasted asparagus
Or
Just a simple lasagna and a salad
What's on the menu? Also, feel free to add your recipes/ideas.
Update:
The first recipe sounds like a heart attack. My gosh. Eh, give me something fat with a little flavor. And of course, in typical Zee fashion, I cooked nothing I planned. I ended up making a triple patty burger with pepper jack cheese, caramelized onion, jalapeño on an onion bun. Also, a side of fries smothered in gravy. I need help. 😠So much fat, clogged arteries... So good though. I'll be surprised if I make it to sixty. By the way, I'm surprised at all the good recipes shared here. Thank you.
