Tell me what you're making so I can be jealous.

Your menus are a bit intimidating. I made the kids noodles with olive oil and herbs for lunch. A total lazy mom lunch. But a lot of the time that's all I can manage, especially when Ethan is out of town... Your menu is beautiful and balanced and in my world ambitious.
This week I made swiss chard frittata, peach pie with frozen peaches (i'm excited for this year's peaches to ripen), quesadillas with spinach, olives and feta (an experiment--next time I will press the spinach more so the result is less soggy, and add mozarella so the quesadilla will stick together), and broiled salmon with orange-dijon glaze served with kale. I love the farmers market. it's forcing me to find menus around freshly grown food.
I told Taylor to take our renters to the farmers market this week. She was dying for some decent produce and inspiration. Everything on your menu sounds great. Want to trade meals again? Kindra
Just had . . . tomatoes w/organic basil, coleslaw made w/vegenaise, organic red potatoes w/olive oil, rosemary, and salt, and pan-fried toasted cheese. And Eliza's crazy bean puree w/many spices and organic carrots for dipping. We got our organic food delivery this week. xoxoxo
Oh, and Eliza and I just did really hard judgmental yoga.

mirijam--noodles with herbs sounds delish, and i'm intimidated by how beautiful and clean your house is.
shaunita, you're a kitchen diva
kindra--yes!
marni--those red potatoes are haunting me now.

Today was a day when nothing on my To Do list got crossed off, but I chipped away at almost everything. (And I spent a good half hour looking for my favorite apron, which got moved off the chair when the sofa delivery guys showed up with the used/recycled sofa).
So I made my easiest dinner - penne with zucchini and goat cheese and a green salad.
Last night was brown lentil salad with feta cheese and fresh pita bread (I picked it up at the bakery down the street- fresh from the oven).
Two nights ago was Ruth Reichl's spaghetti carbonara recipe (from Garlic and Sapphires). Plus Jicama/cucumber/tomato salad with a little yogurt.
Three nights ago was Austin's night to cook - local bison burgers w/ sauteed mushrooms and swiss cheese and (optional) avocado that was not so local, plus grapes and cherries and Mexican mangoes for dessert. I give the kids a bit more leeway than I do myself re: buying local.
Tomorrow and the next few days will depend on what looks good at the grower's market.
Teri, I can't believe Austin is cooking dinner now! Whoa! Your menus sound amazing.
I'm not going to tell you about the Korean/Hawaiian tack truck I'm following on Twitter waiting for it to start rolling. Nor about the banchan in my fridge. You deserve to be commended for practicality AND imagination in these meus.
Alice, I had a Korean taco last week for the first time! I wouldn't have known to even look for such a thing were it not for you; it must be a major phenomenon if we have a taco stand here doing it.
