i got some asparagus at the farmer's market and have some cherry tomatoes and a zucchini that need used, so i figured pasta is the best bet.

I will probably oven "fry" some zucchini Parmesan chips. (Roast thinly sliced zucchini on oiled parchment. After you turn them sprinkle parm on top and continue roasting until the cheese is melty and a little brown.)

And for those of you that haven't discovered the Tavernello Brand wine yet...Run to Cost Plus/World Market and grab yourself a bottle. Screw Top Wine from Italy can be fabulous. We buy it by the case now for under 3 bucks a bottle. I prefer the red to the white but I use both now for cooking and our regular Sunday night bottle.

The closest one is now 70 miles away...

I'm bummed.

There's a World Market a couple towns over. I'll give this a try!

Also, I make zucchini Parmesan chips, too, and love them. Your methods seems like slightly less work, so I think I'll try it.


Cher

But I rarely get there. It's a light rail ride away on the other side of the metro area.

It's a visual treat -- sooo colorful!

And those Japanese gummy candies flavored with exotic fruits...oboy

OK, turkey breast - with mashed spuds, homemade cranberry sauce, roasted Brussels spouts (garlic, olive oil, then drizzled with honey after roasting).

just gifted us some beautiful avocados, so I think we will eat those with some vinaigrette.

Good for you for prepping your broccoli. I recently did that with green beans that were very close to being completely bad and think I will make a curry dish with them later this week.

Last week, using some green beans. If you use a recipe, let me know,hmm?

Glad you're back!




Cher

with greens on top, fresh diced onion, tomato lemon juice mix, and a little cheese.

I eat a heck of a lot of beans, don't I? Just looking through the "What's for dinner" it's usually beans. Oh well, I make them yummy!

And I'm not a vegetarian, I just like beans !

Hasselbeck potatoes, ranch style beans, sauteed mixed greens, and a small plate of wild asparagus. Our asparagus has been waxing and waning with the weather and it should improve over the next few days.

It was my first attempt at hasselbeck potatoes and the results were a bit disappointing--the centers weren't completely done, they were undersalted and I hadn't added enough parmesan. Next time they will be better.

ETA: The kid who only eats white food (and desserts of all colors) ate bread, orange slices, and ice cream.

...have you explored the possibility that the white food kid may have a sugar addiction? (white carbs turn into sugar in the body). I had a young family member with that syndrome. We started reading about sugar and how some people obsessively consume white food only for the seratonin because their receptors handle it differently. Addicted to the seratonin rush.

Just a thought.

for strep/bronchitis so I think they must have yeast overgrowth.

In all fairness, he does eat cheese, eggs, bacon, some meats, pizza, milk, fruits, school lunches, but his parents don't seem concerned that a large majority of the foods he eats are sweets and processed foods. They even buy those horrible Lunchables for him. But his first question when he comes over on Sunday is "do we have dessert!"

How did your family handle this?

with mushrooms, noodles and broccoli for supper and chicken salad tomorrow from left over chicken.
