- Grilled chicken breasts with pesto
- Sauteed spinach with mushrooms and onion
- Rosemary focaccia
- Tiramisu
The spinach was relatively easy. The hardest part is getting the water out of it. (I used chopped frozen.) I was a little frustrated by the Trader Joe's sliced baby bella mushrooms because they came with a ton of dirt.
The focaccia was too die for! I have to remember to take a picture the next time I make it. I used Alton Brown's recipe in I'm Just Here for More Food. Of course I didn't realize there were recipe errors until after I made it for the first time.
The tiramisu was the disappointment! I followed the Williams-Sonoma recipe -- too much cream. I lost the taste of the marscapone. I also have vowed to layer the dish in a square pan. I love my trifle bowl, but I don't think it keeps tiramisu well.

I'm enjoying reading your blog. I discovered it from a comment you made on the Cook's Illustrated message board. I've read from the beginning and have found several things we have in common. I look forward to reading the rest and keeping up on a regular basis. After reading your comment about how hard it was to drain the spinach I thought I'd pass along my method. Being a gadget maven also, I'm always looking to get more value from my items. I found that my potato ricer does a wonderful job of draining items like crushed pineapple and frozen spinach. I'm not a big of riced potatoes, but it does squeeze all the liquid out of whatever you put in it. I'm a southerner too ... from Alabama.
