We’re revisiting greens with Tzatziki Sauce tonight! It’s a must while cucumbers are in season. I love the crisp freshness of this version of greens. The chard, tzatziki sauce and sliced tenders will be served over nutritious quinoa.
Here’s a satisfying, comfort-food flavor combination, and it’s easy to put together.
With the arrival of cooler evenings, a nice mushroom soup is a perfect fit tonight. The rich savory aromas of browned onions and mushrooms will fill your kitchen and get this meal started. This soup is seasoned with bay leaf, touches of rosemary and thyme and a whisper of butter. A side salad and artisan bread or rolls completes the meal.
I suggest finishing this meal with a freshly sliced pear, ornother seasonal fruit choices.
Fall Salmon runs are coming into the stores and tree-ripened pears are also in the markets.
Tonight’s offering is baked salmon with a pear/tomato salsa. Yup – these two fruits play well together and this salsa will dazzle your diners.
The salmon and salsa are accompanied by another favorite at my house, grilled quinoa/potato patties. It’s all served with a tasty dressed arugula salad.
It’s Saturday September 28! We all love this time of year with the cooler evenings.
Another great week of dining awaits. It’s time to plan ahead and create your grocery orders.
This traditional Soup and Sandwich meal features a delicious and healthful version of a “bacon lettuce and tomato” sandwich. It’s made with smoky tempeh and therefore called a TLT.
You’ll accompany it with a bowl of the leftover Umbrian Bean Soup from Sunday. Here’s the good news…that soup just gets better sitting in the fridge.
The taco probably originated in the Los Angeles area in the 18th century and was introduced by Mexican immigrants. Those first tacos are thought to have featured chicken, beef or pork as a filling. The seasoned ground meat taco came along later and that is what’s on tonight’s menu.
The original version was also served with corn tortillas. Using a flour tortilla makes it an “American” taco. Regardless of how they’re served, tacos are a mainstream favorite food.
