Dinner: Wednesday, May 19, 2010


  • Grilled Vegetable Quesadillas
  • Avocados dressed with slivers of red onion, lime juice, salt
How great is it that Rachel continues to want to cook dinner at least once a week? Tonight she reprised the delicious grilled veggie quesadillas she made a couple of weeks ago. Recipe is from Girlosophie: Real Girls Eat. I guess this is part of an Australian series for tweens/teens...And the color / typesetting is almost painful for a person in their late forties (nobody I know), but everything she's made so far has been excellent:
  • Grilled vegetable quesadillas (eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, red and yellow bell peppers, cilantro, goat cheese, yada yada)
  • Brown rice and tempeh stir fry (used 5-grain tempeh)--Awesomely good, even though we forgot the spinach
  • Carrot apple muffins (Mother's day)
  • Pasta with pesto (included some julienned zucchini and yellow squash, and garnished with toasted pine nuts)
  • Nori Salad--Rachel rightfully observed that the nori should just be scattered on top at serving time not be mixed into the salad as it goes soggy.
  • Picnic pasta salad with tuna and basalmic vinegar (Mario, who was HIGHLY skeptical about any pasta salad, loved it)
  • Roastie potatoes with lemon salt

  1. One future tweak to the tempeh recipe is to brown it first. That will improve that recipe to excellent from very good.
