	I'm baaack! by The butcher's girlfriend I'm baaack!I got a camera for Christmas! Finally!We've been cooking up a storm since my last post and I have some low-quality pictures of our food that I may or may not post. But for now, I have a new and easy recipe that T brought home last night. The debate here is what to call it, T is of the opinion that we should call it "Italian…	1 vote 349 views
	Chicken Cordon Bleu...sort of, but not really. by The butcher's girlfriend Chicken Cordon Bleu...sort of, but not really.Since T gets all these amazing ingredients at his work, we often find ourselves with a fridge full of bits and peices by the end of the week. Last night, we had a pretty simple mix of ingredients which I would normally have thrown into a salad and called it a day. But now, I am dating a…	1 vote 441 views
	Portobello Mushrooms & Goat Cheese by The butcher's girlfriend Portobello Mushrooms & Goat CheeseIn an effort to make a gluten-free meal, I had the pleasure to cook for one of my dearest friends. The butcher, who shall be referred to as T, grilled up the most amazing onglets (similar to hangar steak) which we had on the side. These were delicious, light and filling...and can be adapted in so many…	1 vote 777 views
	Chocolate Chip Goodness by The butcher's girlfriend Chocolate Chip GoodnessI have been baking for as long as I can remember. My nana was a great baker, and we'd always concoct something together. I loved the feeling of making a treat, not just a meal, but a real surprise for everyone... That feeling is still strong today.I went up north a couple of weeks ago, and decided that chocolate…	1 vote 452 views
	Chicken Sausage Salad by The butcher's girlfriend Chicken Sausage SaladWhen I am too tired to even think straight, my default food is salad. One can only imagine how well this concept went over with the butcher!But, little did he know that I use the salad as a catch-all, kind of a "meal in a bowl".In any case, last night was one of those nights. I recently quit my job and am in the…	1 vote 524 views
	Pulled Pork Sandwiches by The butcher's girlfriend Pulled Pork SandwichesAlright, so we've been cooking up a storm! But, between getting a new job (yay!) that means I get up way earlier (boo) and travel farther (boo) I have been WIPED when I get home. And, my blogging has suffered!

	Spelt Pasta with peas & proscuitto by The butcher's girlfriend Spelt Pasta with peas & proscuittoOk...there are olives there too, but it wasn't as catchy in the title.I am on a healhier kick these days, and T's input on this is for me to use proscuitto instead of bacon. I don't disagree with his choices, I am simply pretty certain they're not healthier options.This meal was simple and delicious.…	1 vote 372 views
	Shrimp & Rice by The butcher's girlfriend Shrimp & RiceIn a fit of stubborness, I have tried to get the butcher to go meatless for two nights for every week of Lent. Now, this may sound mean, but it's only a night, not the day. He works at a butcher shop! He can eat meat all day and then come home to salad, no? Sadly, that's easier said than done.We have at our avail one of…	1 vote 1460 views

	Chicken Wings by The butcher's girlfriend Alright, first of all, I apologize for having been gone so long!Secondly, I need to make this post as a matter of principle.Yesterday, T brought home some chicken wings. And, I have to tell you, I looooove chicken wings. As we were discussing how to cook them, I suggested we try a crust and do a baked "fried" chicken. That was met…	1 vote 500 views
