13. One of our favorite summer meals!

When the Thai basil is growing we eat Thai salad with beef at least once every ten days.

Tonight though it's grilled chicken, grilled local corn and a salad of our garden peppers, tomatoes, cukes, and Italian basil.

14. I'm about to put it together, but the ingredients are awesome!

Enjoy your dinner.

Summer is the best season!

2. I was a bad girl this weekend

Had company over and indulged a bit too much (oh, peach tart, how I love you so!) So sticking with some leftover chicken and a salad to make up for it. Damn guilt

3. Black bean & ham shank mystery "Something or Other"

........ over Basmati brown rich with dollop of sour cream and sliced avocado.

I start with a basic idea...... then improvise. Sometimes it works out well... other times not so much.

4. Depending on how energetic I feel, either a sandwich or my one skillet ham&potatoes mess.

6. Skillet messes are the best!

I do those every time I have leftovers. Throw in whatever meat I have, some potatoes, onions, garlic, maybe some spinach or veggies, and voila!

17. We've always called it hash!! Wonder why??? In the winter, we add

chicken broth, canned tomatoes, and call it soup.

[eissa]

18. I call it hash, too

I tried masking it by being clever with its description:

Kids: what are we having today?
Me: shredded beef with a potato medley, and caramelized onions
Kids: oh, hash

5. Yet more roast turkey and sliced tomatoes!

That was a BIG turkey breast.

7. Stuffed tomatoes

We always had stuffed tomatoes in the summer, unbaked. I think the stuffing was chopped celery and cucumber mixed with the scooped out tomato filling. I can't remember what else, pretty sure it wasn't rice; might have been canned salmon or tuna.
A recipe I found online I like: chopped hard boiled egg, celery, olives, ripe avocada, crumbled bacon, and some parmesan cheese. It calls for onion and/or peppers but I leave those out. Stick cooked asparagus spears in if you like. And my grandma always sprinkled paprika on top.

8. Pasta with tomatoes, basil, and Brie!

Michigan tomatoes are coming in now and I got a bunch from my father-in-law, who grows the most amazing ones!

9. Curried chicken salad, garden tomatoes, red lentil soup. nt

10. avocado omelette

I baked today, so wasn't up for much cooking tonight. I had a beautiful avocado, so I made an avocado omelette. It was improvised.

Two-egg omelette which I filled with dollops of avocado and whipped cream cheese. Sprinkled with chopped coriander. Added a little grated Colby cheese. On the side a small Westphalian ham sandwich on crusty bread. Also chili garlic sauce to spice up the omelette.

White wine.
