Dinner happened!

Imagine that... :)

I had company today - a friend who's been trying to visit for nearly a year but for one reason or another kept getting stymied. Vehicle illness, snow, other appointments which were necessary not pleasure, etc. all kept us from spending time at my house until today.

We were supposed to make bread. She wants to learn. We ended up making crepes and pasta. The pasta went home with her to make lasagna with. The crepes ended up on our dinner table tonight. The recipe is loosely based on one I found in one of my Cooking Light Annual Cookbooks. I'll look it up tomorrow.



I had two chicken breasts thawed and cut those into bite-size pieces and sauteed them in some olive oil spray. In another skillet I sauteed spinach and a couple varieties of sliced mushrooms I had on hand - baby portobellas and shiitake. Only used salt & pepper as a seasoning. Next time I think I'd put in some thinly sliced garlic too. I added a couple spoonfuls of that Honduran cream I mentioned previously to keep the mixture from being too dry - the heavy cream/cream cheese/sour cream mixture. Then I put a crepe on each plate and filled it with the meat & veggie mixture, folded it up and drizzled it with more of the Honduran cream. Yum!! I also made a simple tossed salad to go with the meal. For dessert we enjoyed the last of the coconut sorbet I made the other day. Now that that's gone I can make the lavender-honey-ricotta ice cream I've been eyeing!! And hopefully next time she & I get together we'll actually get some bread made!
