The weather last Thursday called for snow beginning in the afternoon. My husband suggested a soup and sandwich night for supper, paninis to be specific. I checked the Williams-Sonoma and Epicurious web pages for inspiration and I came up with my own recipe that I think is rather good. I needed boneless chicken breasts, fresh mozzarella, pesto sauce, roasted peppers and a sturdy bread.

I had some leftover thin sliced chicken breasts I picked up on Saturday at Pastosa Ravioli in Manasquan, NJ. The family pack was only $3.99/lb. and I found another recipe from Lidia’s Italian-American Kitchen called “Breast of Chicken in a Light Lemon-Herb Sauce in which to use the chicken breasts.

 I follow Lidia Bastianich on Facebook and her February 3rd post she had a recipe for Oven-Braised Pork Chops with Apples, Onions and Dried Cherries. For me, apples with pork is a classic, but adding dried cherries upped the game for today’s leaner pork.

I recently came into possession of Lidia’s Italian-American Kitchen cookbook by Lidia Bastianich and found some interesting recipes. One that caught my eye was Pan-Seared Steak with Pizzaiola Sauce.  The recipe seemed very straightforward and pretty easy to do. This week at Whole Foods, they have a special on strip steak ($10.99/lb.), which made creating this dish even more inviting.

The ingredients for the recipe include one red ($2.99/lb)  and one yellow pepper ($3.99/lb.) , white button mushrooms ($2.99/lb), fresh basil, Italian plum tomatoes. Lidia’s recipe suggests San Marzano tomatoes. I found  mine at Wegmans for $3.99 per can and my produce came from Delicious Orchards, Colts Neck

Inspiration from sales

As I mentioned in a previous post, Whole Food runs their weekly specials from Wednesday to Tuesday and in their most recent ad, I noticed they had 85% lean ground beef on special for $3.99/lb. (prime $3.59/lb.). Great, what type of meatloaf can I create this time? After browsing epicurious.com, I found a delicious looking recipe from Ian Kranuer, formerly of Gourmet Magazine and who currently runs The Farm Cooking School in Pennsylvania. I became familiar with Ian when his cooking show briefly ran on public broadcasting.

The first month of 2019 is already in the book. Following the holidays, my husband was sick with the flu for a few days, feeling bad enough to stay home from work. During that time, he didn’t have much of an appetite and following this, we lost my aunt. As my mother used to say, “Life goes on.” So, on the day we buried my aunt I celebrated my birthday.
 
Following my aunt’s funeral, my children and their spouses and my brother and his wife went to lunch at Ristorate Da Benito in Union, NJ. A friend of my son-in-law’s recommended this restaurant. We arrived at approximately 1 PM and it was bustling with customers. The wait staff was attentive without being overly intrusive. Occasionally the chef would come out from the kitchen to check out the dining room and talk to the regulars.
