I sometimes specify the days I am going to make things, but it never works out :) So this week I am going to try to make these new CL/CL BB recipes:
Monterey Jack Turkey Burgers
Italian Turkey Burgers
Oven Fries
Lime-Broiled Salmon
Desk Set Oven-Fried Chicken (as chicken parm I think)

And this old recipe:
Sausage, Beans, and Greens (with turkey sausage--for the first time)

Tonight, since it is cool and rainy, I am going to turn on the oven and bake the last of my frozen stuffed peppers. What a good idea it was to make them in August! I am definately going to do that again this year. Served with mashed potatoes and corn, of course :) I don't think I have ever had stuffed peppers without mashed potatoes and corn! And I am trying Muir Glen's Chunky Vegetable Tomato Sauce. I usually don't like jarred sauce, but it was on sale and I want to try some of the organic ones.

Terry,
Make sure your plantains are ripe, it makes a big difference in the flavor and texure.

I haven't worked out my menu yet, but the grocery store has shrimp on sale so I'll make the Shrimp Po'Boys and DD1 has requested pizza again so that's two meals figured out.

OMG, that's so cool. I'm a huge NPR fan (if they air it, I'll listen and like it) and earlier today caught a re-broadcast, and thought how great it would be to attend. I've always wondered what it must be like to see the guy who does all the hilarious sound effects(am blanking on his name at the moment). Have fun! :)

Alethea,
Thanks. It's our late anniversary present to each other and we're looking forward to it as well. The only problem is a babysitter, ours might have to back out cause she's in a soccer tournament. I need to call her today.

Janet J,

Did you make the souvlaki (sp)? I was thinking of making it Tuesday night and wondered how it turned out:

I left my list at home but I think this is what I have on tap:

Sunday - hot dogs for kids with sliced strawberries (DH is away and I wasn't hungry)

Monday - The pasta w/ spinach, proscuitto and tomatoes, salad

Tuesday - Mother's Souvlaki, that Greek greenbean dish who's name I can't pronounce and I was going to do whole wheat couscous but now I'm leaning towards that beans w/ sage recipe that someone posted. Had them in Italy last summer and loved them!

Wednesday- the pasta w/ arugula and shrimp, salad

Thursday - pizzas - regular for the kids and I still haven't decided which toppings I'll use for DH and me.

Friday - out w/ the 'rents - we'll be visiting them for Memorial Day Weekend

Saturday - if DH gets lucky on his fishing trip, Fried Flounder, sesame noodles, and I'm thinking those marinated cucumbers and tomatoes - if he's unlucky, same menu except with some grilled tuna steaks

Sunday - out while the 'rents babysit :D

Kim, I didn't end up making it. DF wanted to grill steaks and I realized I was missing two of the more key ingredients. It's getting moved to next week now. Let me know how it turns out for you! :)

Wow Julie-it looks like every recipe you are cooking is from CL...cool!:cool: :cool:
(no June issue here:( )

[tbb113]

Well, I'm not Julie or Kim, but I did make the souvalkia last night (only modification was I broiled them instead of grilled them). They were very good. Only complaint was that of course the veggies didn't all cook at the same rate so the tomatoes were over cooked and the onions and pepper not cooked enough. The tzataki was okay, but I like what I buy at Trader Joes better.

I would repeat the souvalkia though.

Tyra

[kimmer99]

Thanks Tyra - they're on the menu for tonight but now that I think about it, I think I forgot to buy the yogurt for the sauce :(
