Friday was a hot and draining day. I was so happy to have dinner all prepped and ready to go. The black bean & corn salad was delicious. I had basically filled up on it while the steak was grilling - I just couldn't stop sneaking bites in!
Forgot to take pictures of our BBQ with the Olsons - aside from this adorable one of the kids:
We tried a new recipe from Bon Appetit - Moroccan Chicken Brochettes with garlic yogurt sauce - and it was really great and simple.
I made a "pasta" dish with Italian sausage, "golden" garlic (i.e. toasted in a pan), tomatoes, red pepper flakes, basil and Parmesean that I thought was pretty good (although I don't think Greg or Ben cared much for it).
On Wednesday it was so freaking hot that we opted to go out for pizza at Elliott Bay Pizza - great pizza (and beer).
Tonight, I had both cod and asparagus that I needed to use up, so we had lemon pepper cod and roasted asparagus with a poached egg on top.
Plan for next week:
Friday: Our neighbors are coming over for dinner, so we thought we would make Chicken Paillard. Easy to make ahead the night before and throw on the grill!
Saturday: Greg and I are going out to dinner while Ben hangs with Grandma :)
Sunday: BBQ with Maureen & Vitaliy + the kids. I think I'll make another batch of the Black Bean & Corn Salad and have Greg throw some tandoori chicken on the grill.
Monday: Toasted Quinoa Salad with Scallops and Snow Peas
Tuesday: Dinner at Robin, Garrett and Graycen's house! It's been awhile since we have seen them and we are so excited to see their new home!
Wednesday: Chicken Wedge Salad with Apple, Walnuts, and Lemon-Blue Cheese Dressing
Thursday: With plans to go away for the weekend, I thought a night of "use what you have" for dinner was in order.
