First Dinner (Steph)

For our first dinner in our new kitchen on our new dining set I decided to go with a comfortable favorite that I knew the Kevin and I would both enjoy.  I made Chicken and Broccoli Casserole with rice and chili garlic brussel sprouts. Of course I was the only one who would eat the brussel sprouts, even though they were pretty good.



I made a half recipe since it was just the three of us (two of us really) who ate and I added sour cream to the mix as well.  Does anyone else do that?  I like it.

The brussel sprouts are made just how they sound like with trimmed, halved brussel sprouts, crushed garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and a little butter.  Then I just zapped them in the microwave for a couple of minutes (because I heard that cooking them in water makes them more bitter tasting) and that's it. 

As for books, does anyone have any suggestions on books to start with?  Should we all try to find something new to read?   I found this website that has plenty of suggestions.

  2. You know we should make a huge list of books we will read and just draw a name because really, were gonna spend a month to figure out what one to read!
