Béchamel Sauce Over Fennel Chicken
With that header I almost don’t even need to write a post. I think a photo and the word yum would suffice. But I would make some changes next time so a bit of writing is in order. I made an Italian Béchamel sauce that I poured over cut up chicken breasts that were laying on a bed of blanched fennel. It was delicious but I felt like I wanted one other herb involved. I love fennel but in this dish it was very mild. Next time I make it I will add in an herb to give it a little bit more pop. This recipe came from my now very own copy of The Silver Spoon. This is a cook book I have wanted for 10 years but it was just always too spendy to justify the purchase. Last week my family found it for me for almost free at an auction. Thanks family!! I am in love with this cook book, the simplicity is just charming, not an extra word in sight. To go along with the chicken dish I made fingerling potatoes covered in chives, red onions and olive oil.
Verde Yum
This week I went to Verde in Downtown Phoenix with my gal pals and we enjoyed some fresh Mexican dishes. There was even an option for our vegan friend to spite what we had read on other sites online. We all left happy and we were super deluxe pleased with our limeade – yum! I had the Green Chili Pork and it was delicious. It was so large I had enough to take left overs home to the Tall One which makes for a happy man with a happy belly. Today Sat. 8/14 there is a Smunch event at Verde. Starting at 10:30 am Verde will open it’s doors for Smunchers. Head on over and enjoy. Verde is located at 825 North 1st Street, Phoenix AZ
