Dinner Adventures

The struggle to cook on two small burners continues....Even after drinking large quantities of wine on Sunday, Jake and I were still motivated to grocery shop and cook. Our first plan (red wine risotto) was foiled by the commissary not having any arborio rice. We ended up throwing together a lovely meal- gnocchi with sauteed bell peppers, onion, and broccoli in a light pesto sauce. I faced a similar frustration yesterday when the commissary was out of chicken- all chicken! Chicken Piccata turned into Pork Piccata, served with brown rice and roasted veggies. Tonight, tortellini with breaded chicken and tomato sauce - if all goes well...
