Whats for dinner?
Salad, just a boring lettuce salad with hardboil egg, carrots, mushrooms, celery, a little cheese and vingerette dressing.
I picked up my first CSA basket of the season this afternoon. I have a club ride in an hour so I won't be cooking until tomorrow. I guess Shot Blocks today. ;) Green garlic soup and salad tomorrow.
Trying to cook tempeh for the first time tonight! :eek:
Been eating giant salads from the garden for dinner almost every night lately. Salad is coming out my ears. :D
Last night made black bean soup with cilantro.
Night before that a big chef salad.
Tonight....instant mashed potatoes, and lemon sorbet. :confused: :cool:
Nice to have a weird dinner sometimes.
Jambalaya. I had a gigantic salad for lunch.
I love jambalaya, but it makes me gassy. Good thing I'm home alone tonight! :D
Newman's Own four-cheese pizza. It was on sale PLUS I had a coupon. So I'm taking advantage of the weather being cool enough to turn the oven on.
Big salad with everything but the kitchen sink.
Salad was last night's dinner. :)
Tonight: the last of the flank steak fajitas I made last week, in a tortilla with rice, spring mix, a bit of cheddar and salsa. With Ben and Jerry's for dessert. :D
Tonight was a mish-mash of things. I didn't really eat lunch because I was riding.... So far for dinner I've had Vanilla Soy yogurt, pineapple, homemade vegan meatball subs (nate's meatballs, muir glen spaghetti sauce, and daiya cheese on a hoagie), and corn! I'm thinking about making a fruit smoothie after if I'm still hungry! :D
If you haven't tried it yet, I would recommend Seitan... It's the bees knees of fake meat! :DQuote:

I've got some bad habits. I ride at least 20 miles most days, so I have gotten into eating total crap. My bunnies eat better than I do.
BTW for lunch today I had vanilla ice cream and carrot cake. Lots of both.
It was the monthly birthday celebration at work, and this is one of only two months of the year when we get carrot cake -- because I have seniority for June birthdays so it's my choice and I love carrot cake. (November is the other month, when our VP requests it.)
I scored some leftover cake which I will enjoy over the weekend.
For dinner last night I had a crunchy peanut butter Cliff Bar and a large glass of skim milk. This was before my 20 mile bike ride, when I got home I had a nice glass of low-fat chocolate milk.
This morning I had a banana and milk for breakfast. There may be another Cliff bar in my future for lunch today...
I simply HAVE to do some cooking! I usually bake 4-5 boneless/skinless chicken breasts in advance and keep fresh/frozen veggies on hand so it doesn't take very long to prepare dinner but my schedule has changed this week. I try to keep it simple during the week to save time. More riding = less time to cook, so have to work this out. I like Cliff Bars, but I can't LIVE on them :rolleyes:
Now, that ice cream and carrot cake sounds pretty wonderful :D
I typically try to make two meals over the weekend that will last us through the week. This week it was pork loin with a chipotle spice rub, green beans and sweet potatoes and lentil soup. We finished the pork off last night (it was delish cold) and still have a fair amount of the soup left.
Crab quiche and a mixed green and tomato salad. Crabs were from the Gulf (pre-oil slick) and the tomatos were locally grown "Creole" variety.
I wanna come to your house:) That sounds totally fabulous!!Quote:

Last night I had the very first green beans of the season from my garden, in a sourdough crepe-ish experiment (sourdough starter + grated parmesan + a leftover egg white). Not too bad! I was still hungry so I followed it up with some cottage cheese and grapes.
Tonight I need to do something with some chard, okra, and canadian bacon. Not sure what it'll turn out to be yet, but there may be hollandaise sauce involved...
Burgers with herbs from the garden on homemade bread; salad with garden mesclun, avocados (NOT from my garden, alas), and local tomatoes. Mine aren't ripe yet.
I'll probably have a beer with that.
Picked up lots of good stuff at the farmers' market yesterday. Last night was bow-tie pasta with fresh cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil and mozzarella. Tonight is a curry chicken salad (stopping at the store for roti chicken to make it quick and easy). Tomorrow night citrus-marinated grilled chicken with grilled asparagus and Sunday night is an asparagus and chicken stir fry with lemon thyme from my garden. I like to cook.
It's the last of the asparagus in these parts - so good, so short a season.... But I eagerly look forward to what comes next! Beets are just starting to show up, and zucchini, soon green beans and everyone's fave starting in late July, fresh sweet corn. Is is lunch yet?
Totally disjointed dinner last night. Made ginger glazed mahi mahi on the grill. Steamed some broccoli and topped it with some old lemon garlic butter I found in the fridge. Tossed a salad with avocado-basil dressing. I threw the leftovers of all that into a bowl today for lunch, wonder how it will taste...
Finished off with homemade berry popsicles :)
Last night we had leftover crockpot chicken tortilla soup. Yum!
Tonight was "clean out the fridge a bit" night. I had a couple ounces of leftover flank steak (I'm impressed-I got five meals out of a little over a pound of steak!) coated in coarse-ground pepper, garlic powder and rosemary. Leftover burrito rice for carbs, and snow peas for veggies.
Turns out that veggies are much tastier if you cook them in a bit of butter and garlic. :D
Stir fried napa cabbage, baby bok choi, tofu and shitaki mushrooms with brown rice. Strawberries and a peach for dessert.
Tonight-
salad from the garden (3 different lettuces, radishes, scallions)
and lamb chops....a rare treat. Served with rosemary garlic jelly. :p
I would say that's a bad habit... ONLY 2 swedish fish???? I finish off a couple of those single serving sized bags any time I have swedish fish!!! :DQuote:

It's no fun cooking for only me for three weeks.
hmmm, another Cliff bar for dinner last night... I was at the Bloomington, Indiana RAAM time stop and was the only one there as no one was really expected for a few hours (the regulars were taking the chance to go and sleep). I figured the Cliff bar was a better choice over anything from Fazolis or Burger King!
Better food today :)
My workstudy student was eating this amazing-smelling dish at lunch and I had to have the recipe. I made it last night. It is very easy to make.
1 can chick peas (drained, rinsed)
1 clove garlic
1/2 onion
1 cup diced peppers of all colors
basil, rosemary, salt & pepper
Sautee garlic and peppers in 1 tbsp olive oil, add remaining ingredients and sautee about 3 minutes. Place in bowl and toss with another tbsp olive oil.
Can serve hot or cold.
We had this with lettuce from the garden and tortellini and my daughter baked a loaf of french bread. Divine!
Indigoiis - I make something similar to that and serve it over quinoa. It really is great!
We're having leftover green garlic and cheddar scones today. With roasted radishes, maybe?
Is it hard to make? I would love a good recipe for this. I usually buy seasoning in a jar :pQuote:

LImewave, i can scan the page & send you the recipe if you'd like. It's easy peasy!
Tomato Tarts - puff pastry, goat cheese and heirloom cherry tomatoes.
Veronica
Roasted chicken breast and rice and yogurt with fresh strawberries for dessert. No veggies there - but certainly better than yet another Cliff bar for dinner :)
I just got Rick Bayless's Everyday Mexican. I love his show on PBS. For tonight I tacos: flank steak grilled with an adobo sauce marinade served in corn tortillas with carmelized red onions. I also made his reciped for Mexican rice. I served sliced avocados as well. It was delish!
Yum! I want to come to your house for dinner :DQuote:

I always keep it simple with asparagus. Olive oil, salt, pepper. Sometimes balsamic :) i do the same for broiling brussel sprouts (I only started liking brussel sprouts when I had them this way from the WFM salad bar)
Last night was chicken stir fry and rice. No idea what I'm eating tonight...
coat in olive oil, add a bit of sea salt and pepper, and throw on the grill. I've also put them in a high oven, turning them once or twice.Quote:
