Stuff I eat at home, part 2

What an over-achiever I am. Two posts on my first day ever. 
Nah, it's just I have been taking these photos of dinners I cooked at home for the past weeks but only today that I got my act together to start a blog. Gimme a month and I'll slack off. Maybe. 

Okay, so, on the second week, our CSA share from Amy's Garden had some Zephyr squash (the best squash ever - I swear), fresh garlic (so fresh, the papery skin was still glossy and juicy). Another farm, Agriberry, had asparagus at their market stand, so I bought a bundle of them. Stir fry immediately came to mind. 
I pulled a couple chicken breasts from the freezer, picked some basil leaves from the herb pot on the patio, chopped some garlic, drizzle olive oil and let the chicken marinate while I cut up the squash and asparagus. 
When the veggies were ready, I sear the chicken breasts in a cast-iron skillet, then finish cooking them in the oven. In the same skillet, the asparagus and squash got quick saute over high heat, garlic slices added, sprinkled a pinch of salt and pepper, and it's done.


After resting for about 5 minutes, the chicken was ready to slice. I pulled a bag of mesclun mix from Amy's Garden, put the veggies and chicken slices on top and sprinkle some toasted pine nuts for a good measure. 
Darn, I didn't have any bread in the house for my carb source. Oh well, it's still a filling and satisfying meal.
