september 4-9

Skillet Gnocci with Spinach, Tomatoes, and White Beans flavorful! I added some squash and zucchini because we had some for our CSA box.
Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower with Grilled Fish (pushed to next week...had leftovers instead)
Seared Scallops with Chorizo and Potato Tacos (pushed to next week...had leftovers)
Frontera's Award-Winning Chili Rick Bayless never disappoints with his recipes. The leftovers the next day were even better.
Greek Wraps Good, but the pita bread I got wasn't that good...very dry. Next time, we'll try with another kind.

august 28 - september 1st

Maryland Crab and Sweet Corn Chowder I added a seeded jalapeno for some kick however it really didn't add much spice. I guess since I put 2 whole jalapenos in the gazpacho, I thought it would be too much for this dish. But like Eric pointed out, the cream probably cut some of the spice. Next time, I wouldn't seed the pepper and see what happens. You can't live in Maryland and not season crab with Old Bay...so I do and I did.
Mexican Pulled Chicken Stuffed Peppers Okay this was the very, very last of our purple beans. When I went out the other day, I picked another handful. Eric doesn't like soggy peppers, so I didn't cook the meat in...I took it right from the crockpot added the cheese and broiled them for a few minutes.
Roasted Roma Tomatoes with Garlic, Gorgonzola, and Herbs with gnocci I didn't have any gorgonzola so I used a Maytag Blue Cheese. For the sides, some gnocci and beet tops with alittle of spinach we had in the fridge.
Grilled Sausage and Zucchini

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)
