august 22 - 26

  • Eggplant with Nido's sauce With our CSA eggplant, we made fried eggplant with Nido's sauce. Eric is our fry-daddy. Just do a dry/wet/dry (flour/egg/panko breadcrumbs) on the eggplant before you pan fry them, don't forget to season them with salt when they come off.
  • Spicy tonnarelli with clams
  • Asian chopped Salad with grilled shrimp (Anna Getty's Easy Green Organic*)
  • Chicken "piccata" with goat cheese
  • fish with roasted white corn salsa (Williams-Sonoma Eating by Color*) Eric was supposed to pick up fish from Trouts, but forgot so we used the shrimp we had in the freezer instead.

*not online, if you want the recipe, just let me know)

(crazy week...we went on a mini vacation)

  • Curried Potatoes and Carrots with Grilled Shrimp (let me know if you want this recipe) This is my cousin's curried potato recipe. I liked hers better than how mine turned out, although it was still very good...(finding out what type of curry powder she used). This is the last of our garden's purple beans. I barely sauted them to keep the purple color...have to like your beans on the raw side if you want them to stay true to the color.

Triple Smoke Burger
Garlicky Linguine with Seared Shrimp, Chipotle, and Queso Anejo The farmer's market had a spaghetti squash, so I used that instead of the linguine. And although the corn "didn't go" with this dish, I couldn't resist it either at the market. The spaghetti squash is really easy to make...cut in half, scoop out the seeds, cover with "plastic wrap" and microwave for about 8 minutes and then scrap out.
Eggplant Parmesan with Sausage (forgot to take a picture)
