-leftover pumpkin polenta with chorizo and black beans
-"fiesta tilapia" with baked potatoes
-honey and soy glazed salmon with sesame ginger salad

I'm REALLY boring, but here it is anyway:

Last night (mon): grilled chicken with jerk seasoning, steamed broccoli, and sweet potato fries

Tonight (tues): salad with red peppers, fresh cucumber, sunflower seeds, and whatever else I decide to throw in with grilled chicken and oil/vingear/garlic salt dressing

Elle, ever since you once posted about those BLTs with avocado, I've been making them often... and I can't go back to a plain old BLT!  It's avocado or nothing for me now :)

For me tonight: Lentil soup with pasta on the side (talk about boring!)
Tomorrow: Scallops with tomato/mango salsa... mmm
Thursday: Chicken burritos
Friday: Homemade pizza -- wheat crust, sauce, Parm, and veggies!

HeatherLynn, I LOVE jerk chicken! So good! My BF makes jerk chicken on the grill. There's never any left overs. Yummy!

I forget some, but the highlights were veggie sausage sauteed with red pepper, mushrooms, and cilantro stuffed in tortillas, then I made eggplant caponata (eggplant, tomato, green olives, capers, garlic, onion) which we ate for two days since I made so much.

We've been having unusually good side salads this week too - thanks, farmer's market.

I have been on a big pita/hummus with sliced tomatoes on top kick. Just picked up some tzatziki and had that with pita for dinner last night.  eating a lot of grapes for snaking, and occasionally grilled salmon with steamed asparagus for dinner.

my big treat lately has been mulberry pie, believe it or not! it's wonderful! and it was fun picking the berries and making the entire pie from scratch. If anyone else is ballsy enough to make the pie, here's the recipe:

(I think I had closer to 5 cups of mulberries and it came out perfectly)

Mulberry Pie

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups mulberries
  • 2/3 cups white sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon milk

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix berries with sugar and flour. Place mixture into bottom pie crust. Dot with butter and then cover with top pie crust. Crimp edges, cut slits in upper crust, and brush with milk. Let pie rest in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. Bake pie in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Remove pie from oven and let sit on wire rack until cool.


Pie Crust

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup and 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup water

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, shortening, sugar, and salt. Blend together with a pastry cutter until crumbly.
  2. In a small bowl, mix egg with water. Blend into flour mixture. Chill in refrigerator until ready to use.

I used my kitchen aid mixer, mixing the dry ingredients first, then adding the wet -- it makes a great pie crust!

it is seriously a wonderful pie!
