365: Day 203


7/23/13: When I got home from the gym on Tuesday I found Zoe and Ta-ta doing their "exercises". Apparently Mommy & Daddy's new-found workout routine is rubbing off on Zoe :)

*****
Cook's Notes: Derek was off so we grilled some chicken and veggies. Yogurt-based marinades are so easy and the protein doesn't require too much marinating time.

For the veggies we did red onion and red and green pepper on skewers, and cut summer squash and zucchini into planks for easy grilling. I cooked up a box of Near East couscous, which takes about 7 total minutes, and mixed in the grilled veggies when everything was done cooking. Simple summer fare at its finest.

DINNER: A LOVE STORY

Lemon Pepper Grilled Chicken

CATEGORIES

INGREDIENTS

    • Boneless chicken cutlets

  • Marinade

    • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
    • 1 minced clove of garlic
    • 2 tsp salt
    • Juice from two lemons
    • 1 good squeeze of honey
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • A very healthy dose of black pepper (I probably did 10-15 grinds)

INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Pound boneless cutlets between sheets of wax paper until thin.
    2. In a bowl, mix marinade ingredients. Whisk ingredients together until emulsified. Then, pour into Ziploc storage bag, drop in the cutlets, mush around until coated, and seal. Put in refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours.
    3. When grill is ready (and oiled), cook about 3-4 minutes a side until flesh is firm but not rock hard.

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor...

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

Summer Nights

As we hit the end of July we are relishing the relaxed summer nights around here. Walks to the corner store after work- Kitten snoozes in the window- Playing outside after dinner- And after dinner bike rides in the park aplenty. The best part is when they ride down the "big hill" out of the woods and we make the loop home. These are the days.
