1. Eggplant Scaloppini, Pan Roasted Asparagus and Grape Tomatoes

and romaine hearts with a lemon dressing . We're going canoeing this afternoon, so this will be a quick dinner when we get back.

10. Hope you had a great canoeing adventure!

I'd love to be out on the water right now..

2. I keep amassing salad ingredients

bacon ends
romaine lettuce
red peppers
yellow peppers
cucumbers
homemade pickles
pickled tomatoes
fresh tomatoes
pickled cherry peppers
stuffed green olives
green olives with pits
feta cheese
goat cheese
chick peas
8 packs of mushrooms (they went on sale, 49 cents/8 oz pack!)
sardines
boiled eggs

I don't know what my problem is, it's like I've gone into salad hoarding mode and need an intervention. But anyway, I guess we are having salad.

9. I'd loooove a great big bowl of salad right now.

Fresh veggies aren't sitting too well with me right now, so I am juicing mine, but salad sounds really gooood!

3. Cheese stuffed sole, new potatoes, cuke & red onion salad.

The sole is pre-made, store bought. A local company markets them. They are really good. A little pricey, but I get a package of two for a dinner treat. Bake one on buying, freeze the other for later. This is the later...

8. I was happy when we found Swai. I've really been craving fish and we don't

live in a very good place for seafood and it has been a joy to eat good fish again.
I'm jealous that you have great local stuffed sole options! I've never had cheese stuffed sole. What kind of cheese is it?

4. chicken fajitas

Local chickens whole are on sale for 77 cents/pound. So I broke one down, putting the thighs and legs in the freezer, cutting the breasts into strips for fajitas, and putting the rest of the beast into a simmer for stock and bits of meat for doggie.

The breast strips are marinating in lime juice, garlic and cumin and some salt. Red and yellow peppers are sliced, and sweet onion, for quick sizzle. Two salsas are ready: a fresh made pico de gallo and a chunky mango jalapeno. Guacamole coming up, too. Flour tortillas for wrapping, and some grated cheese.

Soccer on TV. Perfect temp today -- 72 degrees!

7. I could happily live at 72 degrees year round!

Great score on the chicken! We love fajitas, so that is always a happy choice for me.

5. Linguine with roasted asparagus, cherry tomatoes and almond pesto

and some hummus with Pita bread!

I love the new recipe planner I just found.

How about your dinner, Lucinda?

[Lucinda]

6. Sounds very good! I've been planning on finding a good humus recipe. Care to share?

And thank you for asking about mine...I've not been eating proper meals at all lately....I'm just grazing every few hours when I need to take my pills. I'm in one of those phases when all of my health problems are going wrong at once, and food isn't much fun lately.

I want to add more beans into my diet and I thought that hummus would be a good way to do it with less irritation to my stomach. Do you make your own?
