Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 This time of year most of my food comes from the Farmer's Market. Last night I quartered some Japanese eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, Italian peppers and marinated them in a vinegarette for about an hour along with a portobello mushroom. I then grilled them. While the veggies were on the grill I made some whole wheat couscous with garlic, a little white wine, and pine nuts. I served the veggies over the couscous and garnished with chopped tomatoes and fresh basil. YUM! Last week I did the same thing with the veggies and made extra marinade and poured it over some cooked whole wheat spaghetti. I added fresh tomatoes, fresh mozarella and again garnished with fresh basil. We have a wonderful Farmer's Market and several of the venders are organic. I bought some melons on Saturday and cut those up for desert. Tonight I will be making a taco salad with organic red leaf romaine. What are you making for dinner?

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Great minds think alike. Had this sans the marinade. Brown rice instead of couscous. Its something I eat a lot, year round. ~Beth~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Last night for dinner we had veggie kabobs with brown basmati rice and black beans. Tonight my daughter made a tomato avocado salad and the queso sauce made from nutritional yeast and added some black and red beans. The she took 2 whole wheat tortillas, toasted them and broke them into chips. We also had some cut up carrots and bell peppers with this. In a message dated 8/18/2009 5:20:14 P.M.

It had a heirloom tomato, two types of cucumbers, two types of steamed and then cooled snap beans (Kentucky wonder and a wax), two types of grilled eggplant, and a little goat cheese sprinkled on top. Added salt, freshly ground black pepper, virgin olive oil and our own herb vinegar. Served with home made toasted bread. Simple, but we could not believe how good it was. Tonight I need to deal with a whole drawer full of summer squash. Yellow, green, pale green....my summer squash is very productive, and some of the larger green squash hide from me, and then they get too big! (I found a giant green one this morning, it will become zucchini bread) So tonight we will try a zucchini type savory pancake recipe that someone recommended. I will post the recipe if we like it. To go with it, I am feeling like a salsa would be nice, using some of the garden tomatoes and new jalapenos, or something a little hotter perhaps.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Last night - Costco Margarita pizza (basil, fresh tomato, fresh mozzarella) Tonight - Trader Joe's Korma simmer sauce over jasmine rice, and a Don Lee Farms Veggie patty (http://www.donleefarms.com/consumer_products.html). Nectarine dairy free " ice cream " for dessert. -mouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Last night I made stuffed green peppers. This time I actually took the the time to pre-boil the peppers. I put a mixture of tomato soup and tomato sauce and put it around the pepper in the pan while I bake it. I them made mashed potatoes. The sauce I used as gravy for the potatoes. Meatless and hearty!!! I think next I will tackle stuffed cabbage leaves. Bon appetit!!

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 That sounds delicious Whitney. I haven't used TVP but I use allot of Quinoa. It is the base for Stuffed Bell Peppers or Taboule. I love the stuff. We had homemade pizza. Whole Wheat dough topped with lots of thinly sliced onion and Klamata olives with a splash of olive oil and a Green salad with tomatoes all picked from the garden. Washed down with a little organic beer. Fine dinning. Happy Wednesday to you all...Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 We had Asian meatballs, spring rolls and vegetable dumplings. I made the first two; the dumplings were bought at our favorite Asian market. I modified a TVP burger recipe to make the meatballs, then simmered them with chopped peppers and onions in a lime-garlic sauce I whipped up. The spring rolls had slivered broccoli, carrots, bean sprouts, green onion and chopped peanuts. I made two sauces - peanut and spicy lime.
