        We had French toast this morning and grilled cheese and home cut fries for supper.

          I marinated and grilled chicken breasts and made a salad with greens and my herbs including beautiful and tasty nasturtium flowers. I never had good luck in the past growing nasturtiums. This year I placed them in a large clay pot with basil and parsley and they all flourished!

              For dinner on Monday, I made Salmon and Couscous with Penzey’s Sunny Paris seasoning and some dried chives (did not have quite enough of the Sunny Paris). We paired it with frozen peas that we microwaved.

                Tuesday’s dinner was a stir-fry. I had about 1 cup of mixed whole grain cooked rice and 1 cup of cooked ground turkey in the freezer. I cooked ½ cup of freekeh (an ancient grain that is somewhat like bulgur, but with a more mellow taste—my first time making it). I sautéed onion, celery, mini-red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, carrots, and mushrooms in a bit of canola oil. I added ¼ cup of drippings from the rotisserie chicken we had late last week. I mixed in the rice, the turkey, and the freekeh, then added chopped parsley. It is yet another “grain bowl” triumph.

                I also made broth from the bones of a turkey breast in the freezer combined with those of a rotisserie chicken from last week. It is nice to have two refrigerator-freezers again!

                    Ah, Joan, it is the week for pork tenderloin!

                    The local grocery store had a good deal on pork tenderloin last week, so for Wednesday dinner, I made my Maple-Glazed Roast Pork Tenderloin (recipe from America’s Test Kitchen). I boiled new potatoes from the Farmers Market in some salted water, drained, then tossed with Land o’ Lakes Light Butter Canola Oil. Microwaved frozen peas rounded out the meal.

                        I love a roasted pork tenderloin too! But tonight we had boneless pork chops on the grill, with potato salad and greens from the deck topped with leftover Greek salad.

                            We were on the road coming back from PA and I'm still recovering from the cold, so I just didn't get quizzes posted. I should have a new one up for Friday.

                                  I don't generally post about my travels until they're over, because you never know who's reading stuff.
