Wasn't feeling to well from all the sun I got today. Head achy, dehydrated and a little nauseated. So tonight's dinner was a strawberry, blueberry, passion-fruit slushy with lots of ice and plain yogurt. Lots of vitamins, and fructose to get those fluid levels back up. Worked like a charm..

Well, I chickened out about the marinade. As it turned out, our schedule got a little condensed, so I opted for the KISS principle, rather than any experimentation. The salmon got basically the usual treatment, except that since the veg was fennel, I was able to use the leaves from it, chopped fine, instead of ground anise. It was quite lovely, and the grilled fennel was lovely and the jasmine rice was lovely and the mango and blueberry crepes were lovely and the New Zealand Pinot Noir with the main course and the Argentinian Chardonnay with the dessert were also lovely. And a good time was had by all, and Jr got away to whatever it was he was going to, and I'll have a go at the marinade next time.

Tonight, we have the rest of the salmon, with avocado and a little garlic mayo on a bed of lightly dressed greens and cherry tomatoes from the garden.

Tonights supper is in the crockpot


It's a recipe that I submitted for a "Healthy Crockpot recipe" contest and ended up winning a 7qt crockpot for


Chicken breast, veggies, and sauce.
I haven't made it in a while.... so I am looking forward to having supper

That sounds very good, I think I am just going to make some wraps tonight with some left-overs I have in the fridge.
Chicken, sauteed peppers, onions, lettuce, tomato, and cheese....
Lots of salsa as well...

tonight is the Chinese leftovers from last night. Came back from a hard day's shopping in the US yesterday, so didn't want to cook. Today is lazy Sunday, so it's leftovers for sure.

Hubby wants to do a whole chicken on the spit on the new BBQ. Seeing as he rode his bike to the store to get the chicken, I could hardly disagree so I will make parsley baby potatoes, fresh snow peas from the farmers market, a small tossed salad following the main meal and fresh Red Haven peaches with cream for dessert.

Can I come?


Pasta for us tonight, one of the filled ones, but I haven't decided which yet. The basil needs to be harvested again, and I have lots of tomatoes -- so the little tomato/basil sauce today -- and I'd better also do a batch of pesto before it gets ahead of me.

Yesterday I made a brown rice and egg salad- huge bowl full (really yummy, healthy, and cheap!) so I'll be having that with some sourdough toast followed by a cup of Luigi's real italian ice (OMG soo good)
