Cooking Light

I am more of a baker than a cook. I've decided it's probably because I love sweets and in baking there are exact measurements that must be followed to a science for things to work out. I like order and precision. What can I say, I'm an oldest child.

So this recipe is a lil different for me but I want to work on my cooking skills and have them include something other than creative (or not) grilled cheese. Also I subscribe to Cooking Light magazine and it's a shame for me to only look at the gorgeous photos every month and not do something with them. So I will now make at least one Cooking Light recipe per month!

Onto the recipe. Here's what it's supposed to look like:

Now I picked this recipe for a few reasons: a) I like beer so cooking with beer must be tasty too, b) I had all the ingredients on hand and c) well it just looked good and simple.

I served it with fresh green beans from the farmer's market (bless you California and your loads of local produce) and orzo (because it's cute and I've never made it before. Yes cute was part of my thought process.)

All in all I thought it was a delicious recipe and the roomies even agreed!

Oh and here's the recipe: http://m.myrecipes.com/details/searchR.rbml?id=50400000122903.xml&bcat=search&cat=Search%20Resultt
