What I Made – Week 14

The most visually impressive meal of the week is these blackberry almond sweet rolls. I recommend straining the blackberry filling after cooking it down to keep out the seeds. It’s an extra step but makes the outcome much less crunchy!
Even though it looks like green peppers in this shrimp quinoa pilau, that’s just the color the purple peppers turned when cooked!
A quick no-recipe meal made from leftover roast chicken, purple peppers cooked with seasoning, and a fresh tomato-onion-cilantro salsa is wonderful for a hot summer evening.
Cheesesteak stuffed peppers are a very fast meal – just layer a slice of cheese, some deli roast beef slices (and I added sautéed onions) and top with another slice of cheese, and bake 20 minutes. I used about a half pound of deli meat here.

This zucchini oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe was a new one for me. The oats help absorb some extra moisture from the zucchini, but it’s still definitely soft, even if the edges looked crispy. Next time I would refrigerate it per the directions instead of a quick dip in my freezer!

I STILL have some zucchini to use up, as well as lots of watermelon and cantaloupe to eat, but the cucumbers are slowly becoming dill pickles as we speak!

What I’ve Planned – Week 13

A true summer basket this week! I couldn’t be more excited about corn (all 8 ears!), but won’t say the same for all this squash! Let’s see how many recipes I can hide it in this week.

We’ll eat all our fruit as snacks. I may have to make some additional squash breads to use up everything we got this week!

What I’ve Planned – Week 12

  • After being away most of last week, I’m still catching up on the recipes I’d planned for last week and planning for the veggies I haven’t gotten around to using just yet. The list is underwhelming, but I’ll do a combined Weeks 11 and 12 “What I Made” post later this week so you can see what all we actually ate!
  • Also, many of the recipes I’m saving for the end of the week when the heatwave is supposed to subside and I’ll be able to stand having the oven on without fear my air conditioning might not hold out!
