Roasted Brocolli
Season with salt and pepper and a bit of olive oil, cover with foil and bake on 400 for 20 minutes.
Caprese Chicken with Artichokes
Since we had lots of basil that we needed to use fast and fresh mozzerella, Alexis decided to make a caprese salad-like chicken. It was quite good.
-4 chicken thighs
-4 thick slices fresh mozzerella
-3 roma tomatos, diced
-1/2 cup diced, marinated artichokes
-1 handful fresh basil, chopped
-salt and pepper to taste
Place chicken in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Spread the tomatos and artichokes over the chicken. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and place a slice of mozzerella on each chicken thigh. Place in oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes. Remove from over and sprinkle with basil.

Snack at our building's holiday party, San Francisco, CA
Crab Cake (cold, but it contained a high crab to filler ratio), Swedish Meatballs (very good, light and fluffy with a tasty sauce), Beef and Blue Cheese Skewer (a bit old tasting), Tempeh and Tomato Skewer (tasteless)Labels: appetizers
Lunch at Taylor's Automatic Refresher, San Francisco, CA
Bacon Cheeseburger $8
Expensive, but tasty. Their "special sauce", which seems like thousand island with relish and mustard mixed in is pretty good.
Chopped Salad $5
This was a pretty, but incredibly lackluster, salad. Way too much carrot and red cabbage.
Giao had leftover soup as he still wasn't feeling well.

Tofu with Meat Sauce and Green Beans
This is a superquick meal that is usually made with firm tofu. This time we had a weird tubed tofu that called itself "soft" and was very porous. We literally squeezed the water out. It was pretty good, if a bit strange.

Lunch from Seller's Market
Alexis had a lunch catered in at work.
Tomato Bisque
This was very good, actually. Creamy and tomato-y, yet not overpowering.
Cobb Salad
Fresh ingredients, but would have been better with a blue cheese dressing instead of a vinagrette.

Miso Chili Lemon Chicken Salad
This is one of my favorite chicken salad recipes, as it has a bit of a kick. You can add onions, peppers, or any other veggies. We usually eat it on a bed of fresh greens.
