How are meals served in your home?
Usually it's just me and hubs. Weekends for bfst and 1 night /week, Charlie our 85 y.o close family friend joins us. I generally plate up in the kitchen and we eat in the dining room. Salad, bread , main dish served all at once, Sometimes I bring the bread and salad out first if the boys are feeling peckish. Occasionally we have an ap...and always dessert. Homemade ice cream (from ax the street) over something I baked..just a little. :)

Quick braised chicken w Moroccan spices..... p. 151
Made this last night. We were swooning and licking our chops. Used 1.5 lbs of boneless thighs and full amt of the rest of the ingredients, Added the apricots earlier as suggested above but otherwise followed recipe to a T. Found I did not have to reduce the braising liquid at the end as it was already a beautiful thick sauce. The chicken was soo tender, it shredded easily w a fork. Wish I served w rice instead of roasted potatoes to soak up that yummy sauce. Had roasted cauliflower w it too. Sad to say, not much leftover for today. Another winning recipe from Melissa!
What did you have for breakfast today?
All good. I make my own nut butter too from a huge variety of nuts. I mix it w my granola to make it super crunchy. An amazing combo
What did you have for breakfast today?

I used chili powder. Also I didn't have the seed version of cumin and coriander so I used the powders in half dose I think. I want to know if everyone likes it as much as me!

Roasted shrimp and broccoli, page 105
OMG, so good. Have made 3 times already. A good example of where the whole is much more than the sum of its parts. Super easy, quick and delicious. Toss broccoli florets w evoo, cumin, coriander, chili powder, s & p. In deparate bowl, toss shrimp w evoo, lemon zest, s& p. Roast broccoli on a cookie sheet in a 425 oven for 10 minutes. Add shrimp and toss w broccoli, roast another 10 minutes. Done. Serve over rice or pasta. I use less salt than called for in the recipe b/c the first time seemd too salty for my taste...and I like salt.
