Summer Grilling
I love grilling on the Big Green Egg! It's easy to use, gets really hot and makes food taste delicious. I had a pretty busy week last week and thought I would do burgers on the grill on Saturday, but I was too tired to even cook burgers.
Luckily I had leftover lasagna and it was delicious. I used a new recipe, basic with meat sauce, spinach, mushrooms, ricotta and mozzarella from the cookbook One Big Table by Molly O'Neil. A nice cookbook to cook from and to read.
Sunday I was better rested and decided to go for the burgers for dinner. I bought some okra while shopping so burgers and okra on the grill.
In addition to the provolone cheese that was going on the burgers, I needed lots of other stuff last night so found some lettuce, tomato and dill pickles. My husband expressed concern that I would actually be able to take a bite of my burger, but he used the same ingredients because they looked so good.
On Saturday I took some applesauce out of the freezer since I needed something to go with the burgers. A nice additional side.
Tonight a new recipe, Braised Summer Vegetables. I was going to just do vegetables but will add some salmon too so I'll have leftovers for dinner tomorrow for me. I have been craving vegetables.
I try and use Monday as a office day for my personal chef business and have done pretty well today. I went to Jazzercise at 7:15, then home for some cereal and a shower before heading to a client meeting. All went well there and I'll be cooking for a new family next Wednesday.
Back home to throw in a load of laundry and do the blog. While at my desk I talked with a personal assistant to see how my service might help with her client family. We talked, I sent some sample menus and she'll talk with the family to see what might work.
A good morning of work!
