One of our favorites this year has been Major Grey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Chicken.  I posted about this earlier…maybe?  I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem to find the post now.  I will link to it if I find it. <\/p>\n

It is a delicious, creamy, mango-filled pile of deliciousness.  The recipe we use is stolen from one of Matt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s co-workers, and I usually add some fresh mango to the mix because we have some on hand.  It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actually usually the mango that inspires us to make this dish, since it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a failsafe use for the fruit. <\/p>\n

We also stole another recipe from a coworker of mine\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6Kale Pesto!  We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re both wary of dark greens in general, and have had some bad luck with them in the past.  Kale is no exception, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve consistently avoided adding it to my salad in our cafeteria at work.  But I heard rave reviews about this kale pesto\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthe bitterness is cut with a few handfuls of basil, but the healthy kick of kale is still blended in. <\/p>\n

We used a huge package of basil (the kitchen smelled AMAZING!) and a whole bunch of Kale that came in our CSA box.  Matt was in charge of adding everything to the bowl, so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not sure of the exact amounts, but garlic, salt and olive oil all went into the mix. <\/p>\n

Then\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.we realized we really need to invest in a food processor soon.  Where will we put it? No idea.  Maybe in our imaginary cupboard with the stand mixer, pressure cooker, waffle iron and rotisserie cooker (this one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just for Matt).  <\/p>\n

Anyway, we got it blended in tiny batches and then mixed all together. Tossed with some tri-color pasta. Yum yum yum. <\/p>\n

These two seemed a little mismatched, but I figured the bitter of the kale would pair well with the sweet and creamy of the chicken dish.  What kind of side could make this even more strange?? Some frozen corn, of course!  The only other option in our freezer was cheesy broccoli, which I thought was way too out there. <\/p>\n

It was a little all-over-the-place, but still delicious, and Matt has been eating leftovers this week while I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m on the road \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

In the spirit of fun fall stuff, here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s our decorated mantle for the season! Very exciting\u00e2\u20ac\u201dnotice the real life candlesticks\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m pretty pleased with how grown up these beeswax taper candles make me feel.  Plus, the adorable mini-loaf pan that I turned into a candle holder. <\/p>\n

\"IMG_0729<\/a><\/p>\n

We used that loaf pan a couple weeks ago to make some amazing banana nut bread for a party, and now it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s clean and full of pumpkin spice scented candles!  Spectacular!<\/p>\n

Also, this is how Santana sits while I cook.  She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so dainty and genteel, huh? <\/p>\n
