Whats for Dinner?

[Blueberry]

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!!

Desperation Dinner.

Both DH and I got home very late last night, and I was in no mood to cook. Took a Bertolli dinner out of the freezer, dumped it in a pot, added some additional chopped spinach, and viola! Pasta dinner for 2 in 15 minutes!

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!

[Owlie]

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.

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.

4 course dinner:
(2) swedish fish
(1) lean cuisine pizza (just cheese), with a bunch of 1% fat cheddar added to it
(1) Chobani 0% plain yogurt
and desert...

1 scoop plain soy protein powder, 1 Tbsp cocoa powder, 4 packets of stevia, some soy milk, and psyllium powder = chocolate protein mush. <3

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.

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!!!

I recently found a yummy Thai Chicken Curry recipe in the AIS (aust institute of sport) cookbook & it's ooooooo sooo delicious. Since my dear's away(eating yummy German and then Chinese foods), i'm going to make it a teeny smidgen bit hotter and ensure I add the yoghurt!

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!

[rubywagon]

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?
