Dinner Basics

This weekend was a restfully and tasty 3 days of culinary basics. Friday evening we had a new friend over for a dinner of Croque Monsieur, French onion soup, strawberry goat cheese salad with burbon pecans and creamy balsamic vinaigrette. I bought a new Breville smart oven so I planned dinner menu around how much I could use it. I even made two apple galletes this weekend an they came out perfect, I absolutely love it!!

Saturday night was a repeat of late night after work sandwiches and turtle cookies and wine while watching Argo. Good food + a good movie = a win win.

Here are a few shots from the kitchen.

Enjoy;)
