1. Not sure although I am

leaning towards a meat product - grilled. I don't eat a lot of meat, but recently returned from vacation and am craving a "meat product." A local store had t-bone and porterhouse on sale, so may just make trip there and purchase something!

2. Ribs for the kids and chicken for me

With leftover green beans, corn, and cuke and tomato salad.

3. I have this all figured out

I'm making salmon and orzo salad for one meal. The orzo salad has chopped up parsley, garlic, and lemon zest in it.

The other meal will be zucchini-crusted vegetarian pizza. Grilled romaine, which sends me to the moon.

7. Grilled salmon and peppers. Marinated peaches for dessert.

I'm not a big fish lover (except raw), but my husband has been on a fish kick and I am determined to learn how to make it right.

We shall see.

8. My only top for cooking fish is to take off or out of the heat a few minutes

before you think you should so it doesn't dry out. What do you marinate your peaches in?

[cbayer]

9. Good advice. If I am going to cook it, I will want it pretty rare.

Marinating the peaches in a brown sugar/amaretto syrup.

11. I agree with maddezmom. Cook the outside, not the inside.

I usually cook fish hot and quick, then pull it off. Seared and rare on the inside.

Except for fish 'n chips - then I eat out.

12. I do not like fish and chips at all.

I'm going for rare. The two smallish steaks I have look good, so I have my fingers crossed.

[pinto]

14. Salmon sears well and quick.

I used to love shark on a grill - I don't mention that much anymore.

10. Grilled flat iron steak, zucchini, portobello with peppers & onions,

Steamed quartered red potatoes, green beans, tomato/cuke salad.

Tried a new coleslaw recipe. Am always on the lookout for no-mayo, no sugar recipes for coleslaw and this was not a hit with most of my family, but I LOVE it. It's light, flavorful, totally unexpected and delicious.

1/4 teaspoon black pepper


Directions

1.Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage.

3.Add to a bowl with the shredded carrot, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt and black pepper. Toss to combine.
4.Serve this right away for more of a salad, or store it in the fridge overnight for a slaw that’s more pickled.

Yield: 6-8 servings


We had our first watermelon of the season for dessert. Also had our first good peaches. Sweet and satisfying!!

13. Had a taste for cold salads today.

I fixed my Aunt's recipe for Condiment Chicken Salad and also fixed a Mediterranean avocado salad with tomatoes, red onion, capers, olives, olive oil and a touch of salt. I roasted asparagus on the side. It was really, really good.

15. Hot dogs and macaroni salad.

We are in the midst of a heat wave so I don't want to crank up the oven or stove. I'm planning to make a few cold salads and things for grilling outside for this week's meals until the heat lets up next weekend.

16. Dinner is so long away!!!

Still about 8 hours til dinner in the UK! But I've got a beef casserole cooking in the slow cooker as we speak. With some new potatoes and veg... delicious dinner!
