A pretty good variety of things this week!
Clockwise from top left:
- Being an adult isn't always fun, but one perk is eating a banana split for lunch if you feel like it.
- Being an adult also means not wasting produce that is past its prime by blending it into a breakfast smoothie.
- Delectable roasted sweet potato, cucumber and mushroom salad with a simple maple-y dressing leftovers from a potluck lunch with friends last weekend.
- Oddly named "Asian style fried rice with beans" from BH&G (one of two recipes I followed this week. I must be an adult!) I liked that this was pretty much a complete vegetarian meal, but I had to add some salsa to give it a bit more flavor.
- Quick Friday night dinner thrown together after getting home after 7 PM from work: pasta, pesto, tomatoes, roasted corn and leftover chicken.
- Saturday's farmer's market haul. I have barely been all summer, and I was not prepared for all of the fall pumpkins and squash taking over the stalls. It was a challenge to find salad greens and a few remaining peaches.
- Breaking up the smoothie routine with sunny side up eggs, toast, jam and nectarine on the side.
- This dinner probably took less than 30 minutes to put together, but felt rather fancy all the same. Tilapia on a bed of spinach with lemon butter (microwaved in parchment paper) and curried potato salad. I would make both dishes again, but use less curry powder and maybe add a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon to the potatoes.
