Before 'Rona lockdown, I was on work travel 20 days a month; no time to cook. Now I'm developing my cooking and cocktail skills. Owned by @shes_a_plus

WHEEEEW, it's been a minute since I've posted on here! I've been demotivated to cook, for whatever reason, but am still trying my best.

Part of that was cooking today, instead of ordering out for Cinco de Mayo, which could have been easy to do because I got my second vaccine shot today! 🎉🎉.

Instead, I made a "Southwestern Fajita" from this week's @thefreshmarket "Little Big Meal" and, of course, one of my favorite quarantine mixology jounts - the jalapeno margarita. Was a great meal! by @aprilsqtkitchen

Went mostly meatless this week (had meat at only 4 meals this week), so I tried some new things with mushrooms. This one was filling and really quick to prepare.

This meal:
▪︎Sauteed mushrooms with red onion
▪︎Roasted Broccoli, tossed in garlic powder, turmeric, paprika, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. by @aprilsqtkitchen

I have really been neglecting this page!!! I've still been cooking and taking photos, but haven't been posting.

This was from a couple of weeks ago, and it was delish!

Since the One-Skillet Mediterranean Chicken with Tomatoes and Green Olives was SO good the other day, I decided to try it with turkey cutlets. Yum!

Had @showmars for dinner last night, so used my leftovers for a true Southern brunch -

Fish and grits 🤤🤤

Has been quite a while since I've had it, and it was soooooooo good!

Completed my meal with an egg white scramble, which included green pepper, red onion, tomato and pickled jalapeños. Yum! by @aprilsqtkitchen

Made my favorite chicken breast dish tonight, but added feta to it this time! Tried some plating this time as well.

And dinner!

Finished the last of my "Easy Honey Mustard Chicken" recipe from yesterday with this thigh, and tried a new one -

Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower.

The new recipe was tasty! The key is grating fresh parmesan on the cauliflower while cooking, instead of the store bought one. by @aprilsqtkitchen

Today's lunch!
- Roasted seasoned chickpeas with roasted red onions

- Oven roasted green beans (finished with a lemon squeeze)

One thing this now almost one full year adventure in corona quarantine cooking has taught me?

Not every meal has to have a meat.

Beans or legumes with a veggie and carb (potato, rice, etc.), if you like, is just as filling as a meal with a meat. This lesson has been great for me for my lunches. by @aprilsqtkitchen

Last Friday, I got some help from @thefreshmarket to make this meal, in the shape of their roasting potatoes that they sell pre-packaged.

The rest is all me! Half of a homemade dry-rub marinated pork chop with sauteed mushrooms and steamed green beans and sliced carrots. 🍽 by @aprilsqtkitchen

Maaan, sheet pan dinners are the real MVP.

Tonight's adventure in sheet pan-ing is:

Easy Honey Mustard Chicken.
The recipe included how to make homemade honey mustard! Good stuff.

Paired it with my new veggie fave - Sauteed Lacinato Kale.

Next couple of posts will be #LatePost sheet pan lunches and dinners from the last few days. by @aprilsqtkitchen
