House Husband

John is at home this month studying for boards which means I get to abuse him every so often with house chores. I tasked him with a recipe Monday evening and it turned out great! Great, easy, weeknight recipe- yet again from Epicurious. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Herbed-Balsamic-Chicken-with-Blue-Cheese-353397 The marinade was fantastic- John let it go for about 4 hours. He then grilled it up, schmeared it with the most AMAZING Gorgonzola Dolce that we've been hooked on from Whole Foods and served with an arugula salad. We transformed the left overs tonight into a yummy salad. I peeled and sliced an heirloom tomato, sliced an avocado, sliced the left over chicken thin, and arranged on the plate. I of course needed to make room for the gorgonzola in there somewhere so I whirred it into a dressing. Crumbled a couple of ounces of cheese into the food processor with a heaping spoonful of mayo, juice of a lemon, and S&P. Then with the blade running, I added a splash of half and half to thin it out a bit. We drizzled the dressing over the salad, crumbled some bacon over the top and done! Same great chicken- totally new dinner!.
