weekly menu posting

sunday: peppercorn-blue cheese burgers with grilled sweet potatoes with rosemary butter sauce -- this is a slight deviation of what we were supposed to have last tuesday but it didn't happen because i forgot to set out the hamburger and i couldn't find cherries anywhere.

monday: bacon, peach and arugula sandwiches with baked zucchini chips -- definitely a variation of your traditional BLT but given peaches are in season, i'm sure it will be delicious.

tuesday: fish tacos with a watermelon salsa and black beans -- i've never made fish tacos or watermelon salsa before, pretty excited to try something new out.  if you haven't been to whole foods yet, the fish alone is worth the trip and it is reasonably priced.

wednesday: grilled chicken and peaches with green beans and orzo -- another recipe where i can take advantage of the great peaches. i can't wait until my green beans are ready and i can use those in lots of different recipes, but they aren't quite there yet. 

thursday: broken lasagna with zucchini-tomato sauce -- this dish was on the cover of food network magazine last month and looked so beautiful that it just had to make my menu.  i haven't made a ton of zucchini before and it tends to turn out mushy, so i'm hoping this will be different since it is in the sauce.

friday/saturday: home -- we're headed home this weekend for our class reunion so it will be a weekend full of home cooking.
