Mexican Train, today and everyone brings their own. I had chopped pork, homemade pickles with bbq sauce

Corn on the cob, new potatoes and yellow beans cooked together, grilled yellow squash, sliced tomato, and cucumber. I love veggie meals this time of year.

I 'discovered' some ground beef in the freezer. Ground beef enchiladas and rice with home-made salsa verde.

I'm making veggie enchiladas. Tortillas with black beans, zucchini, mushrooms, roasted corn, cilantro and queso fresco topped with homemade enchilada sauce, yum!

BLT cause I have been given lots of tomatoes! and black grapes. In fact, I had a BLT for breakfast yesterday.

Buttered garden grown Italian green beans, which are hearty enough to make a meal of by themselves. Beef tamales. Iced tea, no sugar.

Today we had our garden club meeting at my house and I had an indoor picnic and we watched some garden videos. So I did hot dogs and chili. We had a great time.

Pork chops and roasted potatoes and carrots

Baked potatoes with ??? I just started the potatoes and haven't figured out the rest yet.

Last time I baked a ham I shaved some down and froze. I used it today and made ham bbq sandwiches. We had a garden salad and pear sauce that the boys made in the crock pot with it. I have enough left for boys lunch tomorrow.

We are vacationing on the coast and will be going out to a local smokehouse/bbq place later. But, before we do that, we are heading over to free concert which is part of a summer concert series that runs through August. We went last week as well and the band was excellent. Different band this week so we'll see if they are good too.

A bit of leftover steak, sliced, cold. Swiss chard stir-fried with a bit of garlic and hoisin sauce. Mushrooms sauteed in butter with a little onion -- taste was good the texture was not the best. Dessert was better -- a Blue Bunny chocolate ice cream cone.

Shrimp stir-fry and .watermelon

Hash browns, bacon and Washington cherries. That sounds awful, but it was so good!

Bacon burgers. Choc chip cookie dough ice cream for dessert.

Tonight was Wine and Dine. The Wine portion was at my house. I made spanakopita triangles, dates stuffed with Manchego cheese, wrapped in bacon and drizzled with maple syrup, red pepper hummus with pita chips and cheese tortellini, grape tomatoes, sugar snap peas, skewered and marinated in a mustard dill sauce. We then went to a new Greek restaurant. The restaurant was very attractive inside, but the jury is still out on the food. Will give it one more chance.

Chicken tacos with guacamole. For dessert, I found my new favorite combo. PB and a super small drizzle of dark chocolate syrup on an un toasted slice of bread. Ugh. So good lol.

I tried a new veggie bowl product from the grocery store: butternut squash noodle "ramen" bowl. It was okay, not great, but I wouldn't pay regular price for it (I got it on mark down). I bought two other varieties at the same time, so I will be having those the next 2 days. I then made some frozen fruit & yogurt "ice cream" in my processor which I always like.

For breakfast I had leftover gluten free pizza: tomato, basil, cheese and I added some broccoli, yellow squash, and feta cheese.

We were going to have steak, but my husband isn't feeling well, and went to bed early....said he didn't want anything to eat. So, I guess I will have ice cream

Oven baked 2 pork tenderloins, cooked a buttercup squash in the Instant Pot, deli Dixie coleslaw and applesauce. We only ate 1 tenderloin and half the squash so we have another meal for tomorrow and I won't have to cook

Grilled salmon with an herbal rub, grilled beets, yellow squash, mushrooms, asparagus, in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, corn on the con, wine and two coconut cookies and hazelnut coffee.

I had tri-tip and some ravioli.

I made a quinoa salad with avocado, garbanzo beans, and veggies from the garden (cuke, orange bell pepper, grape tomatoes, and chard). I tossed it with quickie lemony vinaigrette earlier in the afternoon and chilled well.

He added a leftover grilled chicken thigh to his meal, and we both enjoyed some sweet melon from our visit to the farmer's market just down the street.

Have a free Chick Fil A sandwich coupon so will eat a grilled one for "breakfast" (working late night shift today so woke up half hour or so ago.) Will also take leftover Mongolian Beef from dinner yesterday to eat later tonight.

Pot roast tonight.

It's just a few minutes after 2:00 p.m. here in California. Later we will be going to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Yum!

Tonight I'm having my leftover baby back ribs from Wed. night. DH has some leftover steak. Tomorrow I will be eating my leftover lamb from the Greek restaurant last night. I just might have to cook on Sunday. :-)))

Am cooking for my young neighbors tonight and they've requested homemade pizza baked on the grill. I'll send them out to the garden to collect for a big salad, too.

Tonight we had flounder. I -tried- to grill mine on the George Foreman but it was a mess. Tasted great but i dread cleaning the grill. Hate that thing!

Moonie. I really like my George Forman grill, but I only use it for hamburgers which is what I had tonight( no bread) along with a salad and butternut squash noodles that I steamed.

I am cooking unstuffed Cabbage casserole in the aroma cooker.

Moonie_57, I do fish on my George Forman all the time! Cooks it perfectly. Did you oil it first? Easy way to clean it -- get a wet (not dripping, but more than damp) paper towel or dishcloth and put it in the grill while it is hot. The steam will loosen the stuck on food, and all you need to do is wipe it out.

Raee, this is the second time I've been unsuccessful with fish. I used olive oil spray. You know, i think you... maybe someone else... gave me the cleaning tip once before! I can never learn a darn thing! :)

LOL Moonie, if I did I don't remember it!

In the past i have wondered if there is something wrong with the grilling surface on mine. I have always had sticking problems. Even though I say I'll never use it again, time will go by and then I pull it out again.

Today I spent the day at an amusement park. I don't eat park food so my friend and I stopped at a local family restaurant. I had a French Dip made on their special house bread instead of the usual roll. Their bread is similar to a Dutch Crunch. Once they ran out of rolls and made my sandwich on a hunk of that bread they cut into a roll. I have requested it that way since. I brought half home and it's reheating in the toaster oven as I type.

For dessert I stopped and had a a strawberry ice cream cone, again at a local mom and pop place that carries Marianne's Ice Cream from Santa Cruz Ca.

Made "chickenless a la king" last night. Onion, pepper, mushroom sauteed then mix milk with flour and some spices, add it to the veggies with peas and chick peas and a splash of sherry, and bring to a boil to thicken the sauce. I serve it over this quinoa/brown rice mix from costco that DH really likes and it's healthier than just straight rice.

I am making potato salad and antipasto/pasta salad this morning, Hot dogs on the grill tonight to go with.

For the last 3 supper's it was that super duper extra special summertime meal of fresh picked green beans and new potatoes cooked with ham. A side of still warm from the vine sliced tomatoes and a little dish of sour creamed cucumbers to top it all off. Heaven!
