Chef Joel & Jenn: Skillet Salsa and Cheddar Chicken

We haven't done as many Chef Joel & Jenn's in the last couple of weeks as I'd like too but we did manage one to do a Chef Joel & Jenn during the middle of the week. We are always on the lookout for a recipe that's easy and can be as hands off as possible. This is by far one of the easiest recipes I've ever done that didn't involve the crock pot or sous vide.

Lunch Review: Miyabi

I absolutely love working from home. I've been doing it more with the new job and I find that I'm not only more productive but I get to have lunch with Jenn. We usually try to find a place and meet in the middle. This most recent lunch escapade was to a shabu shabu restaurant called Miyabi.

Dinner Review: Houston's

It's no secret that Jenn and I are both foodies. We spend far more time then we ought to figuring out our menu's for the week and deciding on new places to go eat. One of the things Jenn has done is make a giant list on Wunderlist of places to try in Orange County. And then on occasions where we want to go have a date night or celebrate something we have a ton of options to choose from. This past week we decided to have a nice dinner date at Houston's in Irvine.

Chef Joel & Jenn: Cheddar, Bacon, and Jalapeño Frittata

And we are back. That's right another Chef Joel & Jenn is ready for your culinary enjoyment. We've started a new plan for our new recipes. We will switch off who gets to choose the new recipe. It can be so hard to choose between the various things we want to cook that it is nice to pick every other new recipe. This weeks choice is Jenn's who immediately flipped past dinner items and went straight for breakfast. She landed on a Cheddar, Bacon, and Jalapeño Frittata.

Date Night Recap: Dinner at Social and The Illusionists

I've been meaning to write this post for a couple of weeks now. That's the problem with so much going on in the World of Joel I just have far too much to write about. One of the big reasons I hadn't written about this great date night was that I had a ton of blog posts already written and scheduled for the last couple of weeks. Once those caught up with me it gave me a great excuse to write a quick recap on an incredible date night.
