1. Burgers and Corn
2. Gumbolaya
3. Quiche (This week’s had broccoli, various cheese, and green onions)
4. Grilled Pizza (This didn’t happen since my brother’s plans changed. Art and I tried out the new local Bonefish instead and were very disappointed)
Chicken Enchiladas
Jerk Chicken (Art made these while I was out of town. I’ll wait to post the recipe until we make them again together, but he says they were amazing)
Grilled Vegetable Sandwiches (We layered grilled eggplant, yellow zucchini, mushrooms, and red bell pepper with fresh mozzarella cheese all on top of sliced bread and then toasted in the toaster oven until melty. Delicious)
Buttermilk Pancakes
Lima Bean Hummus
This is a bit of a crazy week in cooking for me. I’m only home Sunday through Wednesday for dinner. Lance is only home Sunday and Monday. Art is home all week. My brother and nephew will be visiting for 1-2 days this week, too.
All of this means that, in addition to needing to use up the veggies from the market and CSA share, I’ve got to plan two vegetarian meals (since my brother is a vegetarian) and food for Art while I’m gone so he can fight the urge to eat out or order in.
Oh. And I forgot to mention that we finally settled the gas vs. charcoal debate and bought a Big Green Egg grill. I had a hard time fighting the urge to grill dinner every night this week but that was incompatible with using up some of the produce I have. Expect to see more grilled foods in the future!
The food planned for my brother’s visit is quiche, grilled pizza, grilled vegetable sandwiches, and pancakes.
P.S. I highly recommend Julie & Julia.
P.P.S. Posting will resume next week.
