More Garden Fare

This was an interesting week . . . I guess I am not back into the swing of making lunches, because we ran out of EVERYTHING by my "grocery store day"!  I resorted to canned mandarin oranges in the lunch boxes . . . and PB&J sandwiches made on hot dog buns.  Ooops!  :)  Out of desperation, I sent Sean to the Farmers' Market (by himself!!) yesterday with 20 bucks and a wagon, and told him to buy some fruit for lunch.  He came home with the biggest watermelon I have ever seen.  :)  So we made it one more day . . .

I also couldn't find the pound of ground beef that I KNOW I HAD SOMEWHERE IN THE FREEZER, so we had to put off our hamburger night until later this week.  Luckily, I had a couple frozen steaks (oh darn) that were very nice with grilled garden veggies.  Not bad!  Here we go for another week:

Thursday:  Shellfish paella
Friday: Hamburgers! Corn on the cob, caprese salad
Saturday: Shish kabobs, sauteed greens, homemade flatbread (good for lunches!)
Sunday: Baked chicken legs/thighs, Greek salad
Monday: leftovers or breakfast for dinner
Tuesday: Pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes, peas, grilled garden veggies

Have a great week!

Love,
Kathy

P.S.  The kids were NOT impressed with the grilled eggplant/red onion/bruschetta pasta that I made to go along with the steak.  I have a lot of leftovers to eat for lunch!! 
P.P.S.  If you have any good Swiss chard recipes, please share.  We are building a (small) deck off the side of our house (the 2 x 4 "temporary" steps from our addition are rotting away . . . ) and my row of chard is in the way.  We need to eat it before the permit gets approved . . . !  :)
