Dijon Fish Cakes

Real Simple magazine taught us how to cook fish.  This recipe has become a staple in the Kendi Haus because of its reliability and speed.  Now, Real Simple has taught us how to make fish cakes!  If you have ever been to a restaurant and wanted crab cakes, you probably saw the price and was like, DANG!  They aren't cheap.  Well, Real Simple has a great alternative and you can't beat the cost.  I present, Dijon Fish Cakes!  They taste amazing and I think I like them better than crab (I never liked how crustaceans were cooked...).

Cheers!

Frying up the fish cakes!!


They got a touch darker than they should have, but they aren't burnt and taste really good!


Stats:
Cost:  about $3
Servings:  4 (two cakes a serving)
Leftovers:  Yes
Time:  1 hr

Pan-Roasted Chicken w Lemon Garlic veggies

We have another winner!!  The Kendi Haus has been on quite a streak when it comes to finding good recipes for dinner.  Kevin has gotten so good at cooking, I can honestly say I don't really miss eating out.  :) 

Last night was Pan-Roasted Chicken with Lemon Garlic green beans and potatoes from Real Simple, found here.  I chose this recipe because everything is made in one pan.  I thought it would be nice to pull the entire meal out of the oven in one shot.  We ended up using regular potatoes instead of red because that is what we had.  The green beans ended up getting a lot of lemon taste so next time, we will either use less lemons in the pan or try and put the potatoes between the lemons and beans.  All in all, this is a keeper!  Cheers!
