Dinner for Three.




This may be one of the last nights I have as much time as I had tonight to work on dinner, since I'm going to be studying for exams soon. So, tonight I wanted to spend my time and create a 3 course masterpiece; lo and behold, it worked! The salad was an extremely simple. I let the oven do the work for the appetizers.The appetizer were over-roasted potatoes. Finally, for the main course, I took my time and the hard work paid off. Hopefully you'll have the same luck!

Spinach, Pepper and Goat Cheese Salad

Ingredients:
-4 cups fresh spinach
-1 pepper (I used red) sliced into thin slices
-Goat cheese
-Walnuts
-A salad dressing of your choice

Directions:
-Mix all the ingredients together, and serve!


Oven-Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients:
-about 5 potatoes, cut into quarters
-olive oil
-salt and pepper
-parsley

Directions:
-wash the potatoes well, since you're leaving the skin on
-cut them into quarters, making sure they're more or less of the same size (so they can have even cooking times)
-boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes, when they're cooked, but not completely finished
-pre-heat the oven for 400 degrees Fahrenheit
-mix together all the ingredients and put into baking dish
-bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown

Pan- fried Chicken Rolls with Prosciutto and Havarti Cheese

There are only two changes to the recipe found on that website that I made.

1. I used havarti cheese instead of emmental.
2. I wanted to pan fry the chicken, instead of grilling it. So I heat up a pan with some olive oil, and let it cook for a good 40 minutes. Every 5-10 minutes, I would flip the chicken onto the other side to ensure an even cooking.
