Cooking with Mom


It was a lot of fun to be in the kitchen with Mom this weekend while she was here. Today for lunch we made herb-roasted potatoes and carrots with broiled tilapia & flounder. I got fresh, mixed herbs at the store last night: marjoram, thyme, sage, & rosemary. I heated my roasting pan for a few minutes to 450 degrees, then added a couple of tablespoons of butter to melt and about  a cup of chicken broth. I tossed the potatoes, carrots, and herbs in the pan, then seasoned them with some garlic salt & coarse ground black pepper.



While they roasted (about 45 minutes), we broiled the fish. I spread a tablespoon of butter and about 3 tablespoons of minced garlic onto a baking sheet and put the fish on top. We seasoned the fish with pepper, seasoned salt, and dried chives. 



I had put a loaf of Italian herb bread in my breadmaker to bake during church, so that was ready for lunch.



I also put a dipping plate for oil & balsamic. We enjoy it with a little kosher salt & cracked pepper.


Lunch was delicious!!
