Whats for Dinner?

[Owlie]

Sounds tasty, Crankin.

Salad it was. Quarter of a chicken breast marinated in EVOO, honey, herbs de Provence, S&P for a little over a day (oops!), crumbled feta and walnuts over several handfuls of spring mix. The marinade for the chicken could have used a little extra salt if I were serving it on its own, but with the feta to add salt, it was pretty good. Just enough sweetness to make you go "what's that?" I added a few torn-up basil leaves (from the store; mine isn't happy at the moment) to the salad as well.

I'm torn about dessert. Ice cream, or a square or two of chocolate?

Big bowl of red grapes and a hunk of Gorgonzola cheese.

It's too hot to eat in these parts.

Two nights ago we had sauteed sliced radishes, smothered kale and mushrooms, roasted rosemary new potatoes and grilled turkey tenderloin. The radishes, kale and rosemary came from our garden.

Tonight we'll be doing leftover portuguese kale soup and fresh baked bread with a side of steamed broccoli (also from the garden).

And we've got fresh grown strawberries coming out our ears - we can barely eat them fast enough! They will be our desert every night and my snack during the day (with greek yogurt) for likely the rest of the summer!

bunny ninja, here is the recipe by Mark Bittman:

1 avocado
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1 clove garlic
Juice of one or more limes
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper.


Put all ingredients in a mini food processor or blender and purée until smooth; add a few drops of water if you like a thinner dressing. Yield: About 1 cup.

I made this tonight, since I found myself in possession of an avocado and fresh basil. It was excellent.

I had this dressing on farmer's market lettuce, and I may stand in the kitchen and eat the rest with a spoon before the day is over.

Peach and chicken kabobs on top of a salad with pine nuts and prosciutto and a homemade peach vinaigrette.

Still haven't had any apple pie.

Are you Portuguese? If so, so am I! What's the recipe for the kale soup?

So I was bad and made homemade tortilla chips...fried, not baked. Half the batch got a sprinkling of salt. The other half got cinnamon sugar. I ate all but four of the salted ones for dinner with a cilantro pesto/chutney hybrid thing...

Not dinner - but it will be dinner! I had it for lunch. I came home early to 'work' from home and made a decent dish

Garlic, pepper, salt, baby shiitake, eggplant, plum tomatoes, zucchini, baby spinach, shiritake noodles, and some goat cheese crumbles... all sauteed up in the wok in olive oil.

Getting take out Indian to bring over to my cycling friends, who are leaving in 2 days for Bermuda. This trip is a replacement for them missing out on Spain, because of Brant's broken hip/crash. He is planning to test the hip out outside on the bike when they get back. It's been a long time since March 17th, although he has been on the trainer religiously and walking.
I know we will be having chicken mango and lamb rogan josh, but i m sure there will be more!

Chicken burrito: quarter of a chicken breast (marinated appropriately, though a dry rub would have worked better, I think), spring mix, a bit of grated cheddar, leftover cilantro goo from last night and chipotle salsa, wrapped in a flour tortilla.

DH is making pulled pork, roasted veggies & potatoes, and Caesar salad. I helped a little, but he's in charge tonight!
