Cantonese style pan fried noodles. We always order these noodles when we go for Dim Sum. Decided to make them last night for a simple dinner.

Thanks @rotuts. Although I do make my own pasta for ravioli, that wasn't the case here. You might have missed where I mentioned in my post that for this recipe I use Wonton wrappers. The original recipe calls for Wonton wrappers and that is what I have always used.

Made Asparagus Ravioli for dinner tonight. Using a recipe I have had for years that uses Wonton Skins for the pasta. Enough for dinner topped with browned butter, fresh basil and the asparagus tips. and more for the freezer.

Greek for breakfast. Presalted a couple of chicken breasts, bone in, yesterday and early this morning rubbed them with a paste of fresh garlic, fresh oregano, salt, pepper, lemon zest, the juice from the lemon and olive oil. Rubbed some under the skin. Grilled the chicken and the green beans and served with a side of buttered rice.

Last night's dinner. Honey Garlic Chicken St. Patrick's Day dinner. Something simple on a work night. Put a pot of Potato Leek soup on to simmer when I got in from work and baked two small Soda Breads. A Bacon, Cheddar and Green Onion version for Moe and I and the same for Matt minus the bacon.

Bought a couple of NY Strips Saturday, froze one and presalted the other and grilled it this morning for Moe's breakfast. These steaks were not as thick as I prefer but I thought that would be perfect for a breakfast steak. Would have liked it a little more rare, but hard to do that with thinner steaks. Served with my favourite potatoes roasted in the CSO on the Bake Steam setting. And fried mushrooms.

Thanks @Smokeydoke Moe's Breakfast. Was going to make this roast last night for dinner. Glad I didn't though. Roasted this morning and Moe had it for breakfast and I'm working today so I will take it for lunch.

@rarerollingobject, I want your breakfast. Baked biscuits this morning. Ready for the oven. Just out of the oven. Served with a sausage cream gravy and scrambled eggs.

Last night's dinner. Prawn Etouffee Made wontons on Monday. Dinner - Wontons in a chili broth. Sunday night's dinner. Rigatoni with Italian sausage and Kalamata Olives. Ham dinner Saturday night. I had the ham ready before leaving for work, so Moe could put it in the oven and it would be almost cooked by the time I got home. Served with potato gratin, brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes with caramelized onions.

So many wonderful looking dinners. I'm partial to the "gravy" posts. I had a small turkey in the freezer that gave us a few meals this week. Cut off the legs and the back and wings for stock. Left bone in one breast and cut the other into cutlets and made Julie Child's Turkey Orloff. Hadn't made this in a long time. Thursday night's dinner: Ready for the oven. Made early in the morning before leaving for work. Just had to put it in the oven when I got home from work. Just out of the oven. I took dinner next door and shared it with our neighbours. Tastes better than it looks. Roasted the other turkey leg on Friday and we had Hot Turkey Sandwiches for dinner. Instead of deep frying, I cooked the fries in the CSO. Moe and I shared a Toasted Turkey Clubhouse for breakfast one morning to use up the rest of the turkey breast.

Chicken tacos for breakfast. Seasoned the chicken breasts yesterday and made the salsas. Made homemade corn tortillas Grilled chicken Served with avocado, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

@blue_dolphin I need to make this. Something I know both Moe and I would like. Cajun Country Pork Ribs for breakfast. Not very pretty. Tastes much better than it looks. This is recipe I have made for years, adapted from one of Paul Prudhomme's recipes. Served with rice and blackened green beans.

Went into town on my way to work and picked up some fresh ground chuck from a local butcher. I wanted something simple to make that didn't interfere with watching the Oscars. What is more simple than grilled burgers. 1/2 pounders. Served on store bought jumbo Kaisers.

Moe's breakfasts Yesterday. Cheddar and Bacon toasts on homemade home style white bread. Homemade split pea and ham soup made in the Breville PC this morning. Croutons from the home style bread.

@Kayb, you can find the recipe here on my blog...........http://www.thibeaultstable.com/2015/01/home-style-white-bread.html

I learned yesterday, that size counts. I don't often bake Home-style white loaves. I should have made three smaller loaves instead of two larger loaves. Lots of oven spring and the crust was touching the burners so I slide a knife just under the crust so it deflated slightly. Not pretty. Also reduced the temperature and slide a piece of foil over the top for some of the bake. Sliced this morning for breakfast.

@HungryChris We had ribs tonight too. Wish mine were smoked like yours. @Shelby, Even though I was warned I still had a couple of steam burns. Shared Platter. Ribs tonight cooked on the grill. Greek Salad and roasted potatoes in the CSO. With TBQ Sauce. Made a double batch today. Dessert tonight. Oatmeal cookies. Last night's dessert - Pecan Tart. Cookies and Tart both cooked in the CSO.

Baked a Pecan Pie in the CSO today. Just out of the oven.

Grilled Quail With Greek Salad and roasted potatoes. Potatoes were cooked in the CSO. If the only thing this oven did well was toast and these potatoes it would be worth having.

Dejah, that looks so good. Green Peppercorn sauce is a favourite. Quail is on the menu tonight. One of Moe's favourites. Preview. Marinated Greek style, with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, minced garlic and salt and pepper. Will be cooked on the grill. I'm thinking just some roasted potatoes and Greek Salad on the side. We had pasta two nights in a row. Both simple. Last nights. Pasta served with grilled Italian Sausage. Saturday night's a simple pasta based on Lidia Bastianich's recipe for Cacio e Pepe, If you love lots of black pepper like I do than you will enjoy this pasta dish. Had a craving for hard shell tacos last week.

Was up early this morning so baked Gingersnaps. Baked in the CSO on the Convection setting. Went great with a cappuccino.

Thanks @Smithy.

All Moe wanted for breakfast was toasted Sourdough. He calls it Manna from Heaven. Easy to please.

@Shelby, I'm not familiar with Cyalexa buns, but I think I need to make them. I resuscitated my sourdough starter recently. It had been neglected for many months. Took three feedings to bring it back to health. Baked a batch last week to which I added a pinch of yeast for insurance, just in case. Yesterday's bake was from a batch of dough made on Wednesday. No yeast this time. Moe took the dough of the fridge for me so it would be ready to work shortly after I got home from work. Baked two boules last night and sliced this morning.

@Anna N, I haven't turned on my big oven since the CSO arrived.
