Tonight we are having the kids over and grilling up some steak and jumbo shrimp. My husband is also making his garlic potatoes on the grill. I've got some fresh sourdough and a tossed salad to go with it all. Oh and some fresh watermelon.

Pizza take-out, but grilled out pork chops and DH made blueberry pie for lunch w/his family. Had pico de gallo w/some chips, too, but I passed on the potato salad (w/egg, mayo -- shudder--)

Tonight we had Steak Pizzaiola...I had watched an old episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond" where Debra made it and everybody loved it. Ever since then, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it, so I finally looked up a recipe online and made it.

We are grilling steak tonight. I'm making red beans and rice and a corn casserole from Patti Labelle's cookbook.

We had a delightful meal tonight - I roasted fingerling potatoes in the oven w/seasonings and olive oil, steamed some green beans, sauteed zucchini, summer squash, onions, garlic and mushrooms, and then made a tomato/basil/mozzarella/olive oil salad. With the exception of the cheese, every single thing (including the garlic and basil) was from our CSA basket or our pots on the deck! I LOVE SUMMER EATIN'!

I made a very yummy broccoli, mushroom and cheese quiche tonight. My husband says it's a keeper for the rotation.

Tried a new kind of quesadilla tonight - wilted kale greens in with onion, salt, pepper, & siracha sauce. Warmed the tortillas on a cast iron griddle, put in greens, added some cubed mont. jack cheese and crumbled feta - folded over the tortilla and browned on both sides until chesse melted. The filling was good - but the bigger revelation was the quesadilla folded (not just two on top of each other) AND the wonderful toastiness of a cast iron griddle!

I've got a pork tenderloin marinating in teriyaki. I'll have my hubby grill when he gets home from work. I'm making a tossed salad and my mom made a macaroni salad so we are good to go.

Actually made a pot roast....haven't had it in forever, and was craving it. Also potatoes, carrots and yellow squash. OK....and a bit of coffee ice cream to finish it off. It was all pretty good! And leftovers to take to work for lunch tomorrow!

We did a pot roast too, Yesitsme. Angus chuck, red and yellow peppers, red onion, red potatoes, carrots. Extremely tasty. Teach, we're doing salmon and rice tomorrow night!

GAL, I couldn't figure out why I was craving it in the summer. But it was great! We were on the same wavelength...change your peppers to my yellow squash and it's the same menu! What is siracha sauce, Teach? I've never fixed kale....but I like it and that quesidilla combo sounds good!

Now ya'll have me hungry for pot roast!! LOL Yes, It's a spicy chili sauce - looks like this:
and it only takes a wee bit. You could use red pepper flakes, too. The kale was super easy - just sauteed a chopped sweet onion in about 1 T of olive oil. While it cooked, I chopped and rinsed the kale, but didn't drain it too much as it needs a bit of water to steam. When onion was almost done, I popped the kale in the saute pan, added the salt, pepper and then when it was wilted, stirred in the siracha. The cheeses we put directly on the tortilla, topped it w/the kale and then folded the tortilla over it. Baked it on each side for about 2 minutes. I think it was 15 minutes from beginning to end, so it will definitely be a repeated recipe!

Got a wealth of yummy food from the CSA tonight so it was grilled chicken with yellow watermelon, cantaloupe, and a corn/tomato/bacon/jalapeno salad. Totally colorful and totally delicious!

I used localharvest.org, but I think that's only a US site. Would this one help? CLICK HERE

Teach, there are a few options here in Vancouver that I know of already. I've just been too lazy to get off my arse and organize a basket. Maplsyrp, I'm sure what I make isn't really "kung pao". But its chicken and noodles and veg, spicy. 1 lb chicken, thinly sliced 4 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 inch square ginger, finely minced 1/2 c soy sauce 1/4 c rice vinegar 1/4 c water 1 tbsp brown sugar 1 tbsp sesame oil 1 tsp chili oil 1 tbsp sambal oelek (spicy chili paste) 4 - 6 c chopped stir-fry veg (carrots, celery, zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.) 3 squares instant noodles (I use "Diamond Brand", find they work the best. You want something similar to ramen noodles, but stronger). Mix all the sauce ingredients (everything except chicken, veg and noodles) in a small bowl. Put about 1 tbsp olive/veg oil in a wok and quickly stir fry chicken unitl almost cooked. Throw the three squares of uncooked noodles on top of the chicken, then dump all the veg on top of noodles. Pour sauce overtop and add lid to wok. Let steam for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to mix noodles through as they cook. You'll get some nicely cooked noodles and some that are still a bit crunchy. You might need to add more water or soy sauce as the whole thing cooks. Garnish with crushed peanuts and chopped cilantro. Note that I hardly ever use recipes, I just throw stuff together, so feel free to adjust any quantities.
