For the past 2 1/2 years, due to poor health in the family and plain ole convenience, I lived with my mom and dad. After 10 years of independence, it took some getting used to! Now, last weekend, my fiance and I finally got our own place - it's fantastic! Now he can finally see all the cooking skills I've been bragging about.

Last night I made some grilled lemon garlic chicken and haricots verts amandine (which were so easy and yummy - butter, haricots, amaretto, and toasted almonds). Tonight he gets halibut with a pecan/shallot crust and new potatoes roasted with rosemary.

What are you all making for dinner this week? Got any great recipes I can try in my AWESOME new kitchen?
