Tuesday Dinner, July 27th? - cjs - 07-27-2010
Where the heck has this month gone?? Almost August and we've had, what Erin & Marye, two weeks of summer????
What's on the menu for everyone??
I chose these two weeks because there was absolutely nothing on the calendar - neighbor brings over delicious looking muffins (immediately in freezer
) and Capt. Jay is coming thru town and needs me to figure out a reduction/gastrique for him. So, this will test my 'tasting' abilities...

Hush, Jean...August is a dirty word in my house!
Our one little AC unit in the BR went out last night and probably won't be replaced until much later in the day. (William has a business appointment this AM.) So I went in search for something easy that requires very little prep. Boy was I excited to find the Grilled Chicken with Cherry-Chipotle Glaze fromn the new Fresh and Fabulous! This will allow me to try out my new jar of Cherry Jam from my field trip to Well's the other day! Off to the grocery store in search of cherries and chicken breasts and a few minutes reprieve from the rising temps. (I'm figuring there will be several necessary trips to the store today...LOL!)

We will be grilling filet mignon, and I'll make a romaine salad to go with it. Might grill a sweet potato too. And watermelon for dessert. Trying to get away from baked goodies. We'll see how long that lasts.

I have some fresh corn I need to use but not sure I want just corn on the cob. I'll look around for some type of corn salad and then go from there. There's a lemon and honey chicken recipe from one of the '08 C@H issues I have on my "summer list" so that's a possibility.

We had a huge round of thunderstorms last night, and more are forecast for tonight, so no grilling here! Instead, I'm trying a new recipe for Enchiladas Verdes and another new recipe for Grilled Corn and Chipotle Pepper Salad. I guess we had similar ideas for sides, Trixxee.

I'm going the Mexican route too karyn! Chicken soft tacos and then a toasted corn salsa sprinkled with cotija cheese.
Your salad looks great!

Jambalaya here tonight, but, no shrimp, hello Labs!!! Chicken, pork, smoked sausage, it is smelling great. A nice big boule and farmer's market butter. I'm making biscuits, so folks can make their own shortcakes, peach (cooked in a bit of simple syrup and our housemade bourbon vanilla), strawberry or blueberries. The house is smelling real good.

It's muggy and ugly here tonight. We're trying to get some stuff done in the mobile but it's hot and humid in there and we just can't get it cooled off. We had .8" of rain last night with almost constant lightning, and wind and thunder that shook the motorhome. Didn't sleep much.
We picked up some beautiful organic chicken breasts today and I found some cheese stuffed pasta shells in the freezer. I think some alfredo sauce and some fresh pesto somehow and a nice simple salad. Oh - and some white wine.

Sounds good to me. I use to use THIS recipe from the Tabasco website. Of course, I don't make that here, since there isn't any andouille sausage here.

Spinach fettucine Romano with zukes, summer squash and (sorry, Labs) shrimp. All that talk about shrimp yesterday just got me going.
