Since I've been home enjoying sometime with my parents, I, of course am expected to cook dinner. It sounds simple enough, yet I am having trouble with the freedom of cooking in a well equipped kitchen alone..with no chef grading me...AND the freedom to make anything I want. Tonight, I knew I wanted to roast a chicken. It's a classic. My mom also wanted to try roasted cauliflower and truffle oil...
I came up with: Roast chicken with orange rosemary walnut pesto, roasted cauliflower, whole wheat gnocchi with a little drizz of truffle oil and an arugula salad in a light lemon vinaigrette, walnuts, orange glazed beats and goat cheese.
Et viola!
Parents were pleased.
