Bacon-Wrapped Chicken

• We needed to clear our refrigerator before vacation. We had 1 chicken breast, 6 strips of bacon, 4 potatoes and fresh green beans that needed to be eaten. 
• Cut chicken into 6 pieces and wrapped each piece with a strip of bacon. Baked on a foiled pan at 425 for about 40 minutes. 
• Mashed potatoes with about 6 cloves of garlic, salt, pepper, and about a half a stick of butter (YIKES! but delicious).
•  Green beans with a little butter and 1 squeezed lime (lime rind cooked in the pan but removed before being served), sauteed in a pan. 

Hearty Meal

This one filled us up. Lots of starches. The meal should of been better balanced, but we didn't have a whole lot of ingredients available. The mushroom gravy was the fun here. Butter in pan with whole mushrooms, onions, radishes, add red wine and spices (including a bit mustard) and reduce for about an hour.

Squash Ravioli in Saffron sauce via wife

I cannot recall if she has made ravioli before, but for not having a noodle machine she did a fantastic job. I cannot tell you what she did with the squash because I didn't make it, but it was very tasty. I'm interested in applying her recipe for the squash in a different area, but I do not know what that dish is just yet.
