Day 11 – Baked Chicken Legs
I am having my seminar tomorrow, so I am quite busy with preparations. Hubby made this for dinner.
Day 9 – Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Chicken Salad
I learned a valuable lesson today! I had been always intimidated by the thought of cooking brussel sprouts though I admire the tiny cabbage look of them. I tried cooking it a couple of times, it turned out to be bitter and ended up in the trash. So for dinner, roasted brussel sprouts after seasoning it, sprinkled cheese and almonds towards the end of roasting. It tasted so good that I couldn’t stop eating them. I wasn’t up for any major cooking, so baked chicken and served over salad.
Day 7 – Biryani in a Hurry
The caption says it all, I was in a hurry yet I was craving for homemade biryani. So, made Biryani in a hurry. Even though it was made in a hurry which obviously called for less preparation time, it tasted unbelievably yummy and flavorful.
Day 5 – Green Chicken with Garam Masala Red Quinoa

Day 1- Pepper Green Curry Chicken
Hope everyone welcomed 2012 wholeheartedly. It was quite a good start for me as hubby volunteered to make dinner. While he was busy in the kitchen, I asked him very sweetly “How about you continue with the Dinner 365 project and let’s call it as Dinner365 by hubby?” He replied extra sweetly “Hell No!!!”, sighhh. Well, I got used to taking the pictures of my dinners and I really enjoyed doing it as this project motivated me to cook different and fresh dinners everyday, so I am going to continue this project. Here is the 1st dinner of this year, specially made by my hubby. I am planning to post the recipe for all the dinners as well.
