So I'm back from vacation. I had a great trip and amazing weather nearly the entire time. Reality was a little harsh when arrived to DC to find cold, rainy weather. I'm sure there will be a few more posts in the days to come but in the meantime I'm sharing some of the photos of the various meals I made while in South Beach. I love to cook and was trying to be somewhat fiscally responsible so I made most of my own dinners.
When my friend Jenny arrived I made us a taco dinner. I marinaded the chicken a "mojo" marinade and served with sauteed peppers and onions, cilantro, salsa, lettuce and rice.
We had so much cilantro left over we decided to give Cilantro Pesto a try. Frankly this was my least favorite of the bunch, although I did like it and continued to eat it for lunch. I think the aesthetics of it kept me from loving it. I kept thinking it looked and should taste like basil pesto and was ever so slightly disappointed it wasn't actual basil.
I'm going to miss having time to cook nice dinners!
