I have considered posting earlier than this, but to be perfectly honest the food I have been eating lately have been pretty boring. With a pretty hectic work and home life, we have been eating a lot of prepared food and take out. Also at the station, everyone is eating their diet food and I am always lazy when it comes to cooking for myself.
I finally pulled myself out my slump last Saturday (our Mother's day, because I had to work the next day) and we had a cookout. We went with hamburgers, hot dogs, and Italian Sausage, all grilled. The next day at work, I made pirogi's with Sriracha butter and spinach.
Yesterday, I made Tortellini with Chicken Garlic Sauce while working at another station. I had made this dish in the past and was asked to make it again. This dish meets the requirements for fire house food in that it is cheap to make and tastes great. I had problems in the past while adding the flour, but that was because I didn't prepare ahead of time. This time, in my humble opinion, it came out quite well. We had Parmesan Texas toast as a side and after much debate about which veggie to add I told everyone to fend for them self, because I was tired of hearing the whining.
On a side note, I have discovered another incredible resource for cooking. Cook's Illustrated is an incredible magazine that really goes in depth about recipes. I found myself saying "Wow" every time I turned the page. Please check it out.
Until next time, Happy Cooking.
