A bit cooler today and I woke up with lots of energy.
Did a bit of veggie prep and decided I wanted to eat Asian foods for the week.
Tonight it was Singapore rice noodles with shrimp and roast pork. Had a peach for dessert but trying not to eat them all as I’d like to try my hand at making peach gelato.

I'm having a bad health day, so we ordered Japanese takeout. DS had steak & scallops. DH & I shared shrimp & scallops. Both meals came with fried rice, carrots & broccoli.

Been using the crockpot a lot lately. Tonight, crockpot BBQ 2 racks baby back ribs (huge markdowns from the 4th so $12 total) with Hawaiian mac salad, reheating brussels & asparagus leftovers.

We are having BLTs for dinner. We have our first full size garden tomatoes. We’ll be having it with a tomato and cucumber salad (cherry tomatoes and cucumbers from the garden). I’m sure I won’t be as excited about tomatoes in all the things by August but today I can’t wait!

Made an unexpected 180 degree change today.
Anticipated making something Asian influenced but as I pulled out the frozen veggies realized there was quite a bit and went off in a new direction: shrimp and corn chowder using dribs and drabs of broccoli, bell peppers, sliced onions, cauliflower and green peas.
No heavy cream so I used the last of the half and half and a few spoons of cream cheese.
Nice low carb meal.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

BBQ Brisket sandwiches. DH & DS are having fries. I'm having pasta salad.

 

[NYCgrrl]

Using the last of the frozen fish and seafood (hopefully) I made a Thai seafood salad with rice noodles ,fresh cukes, radishes, bell pepper slices, shredded cabbage and arugula. Poached shrimp, scallops, and monkfish with a cilantro and fish sauce dressing topped the greens.
Looks like I’ve made dinner for a few nights.

Err Im going to need more peaches for the gelato so going to eat what’s on hand today .

Grilled ribeye for DH, grilled chicken for me with local corn and jalapeño, and my mom’s macaroni salad.

I’ve been trying to recreate it for 2 years and it’s off. I have a list of ingredients but no measurements. I cooked the pasta and she is going to come over so I can watch her mix it. I call with my ingredients list to make sure I have everything. I read her the list and she says and sugar. What that is not on my list! I’m sure that’s why it’s off when I’m making it.

So, I have to ask. You've mentioned corn and jalapeño a few time. I've never seen that combo. How do you make it?

I like the combination of a little spice with the sweet corn. I cut the corn off the cob and small dice 1-2 jalapeño (depending how spicy you like it) in a large skillet/fry pan I melt butter, add the jalapeño and let it cook for a minute. Add the corn and salt and pepper and cook over medium for 5-7 minutes or until the corn is cooked. We eat a lot of corn in the summer so I try to mix it up with this, boiled, and grilled.

That sounds great! I'll have to give it a try, when I'm back in the area that has roadside stands with fresh vegetables.

I'm jealous of your garden. We spent last summer & fall taking care of MIL, while she battled terminal cancer. Her friends brought in more fresh veggies than we could eat. That's a luxury we don't have at home.

I am sorry to hear about your MIL

I hope you enjoy it! My garden is my happy place. I enjoy being out there and the fresh veggies are so rewarding. Remind me of this in mid August when I’m running out of ideas for what to do with everything
