January Round Up: Eats

So far I have been keeping good on my new years resolution. I have cooked a ton of new recipes!


And finally - two dinners I prepared this month that did not have a recipe post all their own. They were delicious and photo worthy all the same. 

Eggplant Parmesan
Crispy fried Eggplant Parmesan rounds are an addictive meal. Hot off the sauté pan, I pop them like potato chips.
Eggplant parm is a staple in my Mom's kitchen; these are her inspiration and always bring back memories of childhood.
On this particular night I paired them with rotini in a simple butter and garlic sauce. 
Tacos!
For a 100% no fuss week night meal.
Corn shell, ground beef + seasoning packet, cheese, sour cream, tomato and avocado. Done.
And a perfectly ripe avocado for the win!

Happy Friday! This felt like the week that would never end. Hope you all have fun plans for the weekend. Mine include a trip to the Sam Adams Brewery and an evening out with friends.

    There are a lot of meals that never make it onto the blog. I love that you do a re-cap to show what you've made!

    P.S. Beer date must be scheduled soon. xo

    I need more eggs in a basket in my life - yours look soooo yummy (and I'm not just saying that because I maybe had too many beers last night!)

    Egg in a basket are my hubs and kiddos favorite! They eat theirs drizzled with syrup.

    I love eggplant parm, and I learned how to make it from my mom too.

    And I can't even admit how often we eat Near East rice pilaf!

    That breakfast looks so amazingly innovative!

    Also, have you ever had fried avocado tacos? It's a big thing in Austin, Texas, and when I recently visited, I was in total awe of the idea. Yum.

    Okay, it makes me feel so much better that you, my dear foodie, eat tacos for dinner, too! I use tacos as a standby, we eat them a lot, but I always feel kind of trashy when I do! Now I don't! And love the eggs in a basket, I have always heard them referred to as "Ox-eyed Eggs" lol! XX!
