Menu Plan – Aug 1 through Aug 7
Short short post tonight… I have a houseful. Hooray, Mr 18 is home!
Tonight, Greek Burgers, orzo salad, corn on the cob, and melon from the farmer’s market
Tomorrow: Shrimp summer rolls and spicy slaw. The fresh, never frozen gulf shrimp looked way too good to pass up today at Harry’s; 16-25s for $7.99/lb. I know now that a scant 1 teaspoon of sriracha is plenty. Over 2 teaspoons is overkill and leads to tummyache. Don’t ask me how I know this.
Monday: (first day of school) Baked ziti. I’ll cook the tomato sauce and sausage in the crock pot. Someone will assemble it when they get home from work.
Tuesday: Herb-crusted chicken from the Pebbles Trove
Wednesday: Orange Broccoli Beef
Thursday: Some sort of chicken, possibly Vesuvio the Chicago way, maybe a goat cheese stuffed thing.
Friday: Skillet Pizza
Extras are panzanella, cherries from last week I really must cook into a crisp or cobbler tomorrow, white peaches, and figs.
I tried the first of the freezer pickles today. They have done very nicely. I’ll post that recipe tomorrow.
The farmer’s market was loaded with goodies today. In addition to close to 6 pounds of tomatoes, I got melons, figs, raspberries, eggplant, cucumbers, and garlic. I also bought a fetching new apron.
