It doesn't seem possible that there is only a week and a half left of summer before school begins. We all wish we started after Labor Day, but no such luck! Returning from Maine makes us wish summer could last forever....no schedules, great food, beautiful surroundings, and special friends.
I loved going to the Farmer's market while in Winter Harbor, and hope to go more here in Connecticut. I want to begin using my new cookbook, The Plantpower Way, by Rich Roll & Julie Piatt. I hope to find a balance between eating plant based and some lean meat and fish.
This week we're keeping it lean here and getting back into healthy mode after we indulged during vacation!
Monday: Heirloom Tomato Soup with tortilla chips and lemon guacamole
Tuesday: Almond Pesto over Brown Rice Pasta and Mixed Green Salad
Wednesday: Eggs and Loaded Hash browns (a dish we loved in Maine! Hash browns with peppers, onions, tomatoes and cheese),
Thursday: Brown Rice Bowls with Grilled Vegetables and Chicken
Friday: Pesto & Leftover Chicken Sandwiches for a picnic on the lake. Other finger foods as well like hummus and veggies, chips and salsa, etc.
Saturday: Grilled Salmon and Zucchini with a quinoa salad
Sunday: Pasta with sauteed broccoli, tomatoes, white beans, basil and goat cheese. (Can really use any cheese you like. I like goat because it's creamy).
Wishing you all a relaxing week ahead. Take time to enjoy family & friends over a meal. When you enter the state of Maine there is a welcome sign that reads, " Maine...the way life should be." I could not agree more. I need to remind myself to enjoy and appreciate the outdoors, embrace the simple things, and slow down!
As always, if you would like a detailed recipe please send me a message.
Best,
Donna
