Here's to a Quiet New Year

As we welcomed in 2012, my husband and I decided to have a quiet night at home with a yummy dinner and a movie. Yes we watched the ball drop, but you can bet I was in bed right after! It was a nice way to end a very busy year. On our New Year's Eve menu was Parmesan-Italian Chicken, Quinoa Primavera, and biscuits. Yum. You can find the quinoa recipe here.

 The chicken was SUPER simple: Lightly wet the chicken with water, coat in grated Parmesan cheese mixed with Good Seasonings Italian Dressing mix, bake until cooked through. Turn the broiler on the last 5 minutes to get a golden brown crust.... it was delicious!

 We've never tried Quinoa before, but it was really tasty and pretty simple. It cooks like rice, and then we added some mixed vegetables, parsley and a touch of cream cheese (it is NYE after all!)...

 Really good! Plus I had leftovers for lunch which made going back to work on January 2 

(yes that's right, we had school on the 2nd...) much better.

Biscuits came from a can, I'm not up to making my own quite yet. Add some wine and a

cozy blanket on the couch... This was a super delicious meal!
