Uninspired dinner
Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2006 9:39 pm
Often, because of work and family schedules, we have to throw a quick dinner together. We try and get our son to eat a fairly balanced meal with a protien, starch, and veggie (usually with a cookie bribe ).
The standard fall-back is roasted chicken thighs or leg quarters, boiled potatoes and green beans. Tonight, as I was prepping, I was thinking how uninspired this meal is. But once it was on the table it just felt good.
I hit the thighs with s&p, chopped fresh thyme, and butter. The boiled new potatoes got tossed with butter, s&p, and chopped parsely. The veggie was leftover roasted green beans with roasted tomatoes and balsamic onions. Dinner was on the table in about 30 minutes.
It was all very easy and, again, was very comforting. Although we didn't have wine tonight what would y'all recommed pairing with this? I would lean towards an old world chard; possibly a Macon-Lugny.
Also, any suggestions for EASY and QUICK weeknight dinners to add to the repertoire would be more than welcome.
Merci
