This morning while it was still cool I made salads for dinner -- broccoli, seafood, and a farfelle with spinach, black olives, red onions, Feta and Ranch dressing, and mixed greens with cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper and maple vinaigrette.
We had brats on split sandwich thins, with red onions and refrigerator pickles I made last week.
We had leftovers - pasta and a green salad.
This sounds wonderful, and perfect to go with summer salads. I've put it on my short-list, probably within a week. It's sort of like a savory scone, but less fussy to prepare. Thanks for sharing!
We had penne with meat sauce and a green salad.
Baker Aunt, is your recipe for the sunflower bread posted here? I searched, but probably am not calling it by the complete correct name. I'd love to try it if you have shared. Thanks!
I baked my typical sandwich loaf, which originally was a Beth Hensperger recipe, but I've changed it so much that it hardly resembles that recipe now. And I think every time I make it, it is different. Buttermilk, 4 cups of flour, and 1 cup of oatmeal is the constant. Today I used half whole wheat, potato flour, honey, and sunflower kernals.
I made egg salad this morning, to go with the oatmeal- sunflower seed bread I also made this morning. We're in the midst of a t-storm right now, and it is pouring -- with storms to continue for the next 2-3 days! Glorious rain!
We had grilled chicken thighs, fresh green salad, and leftover broccoli salad for dinner tonight.
Dinner tonight was grilled pork chops, broccoli salad, and parmesan potatoes cooked in a cast iron skillet on the grill. If you Google parmesan potatoes you'll see a number of recipes that are all pretty similar. These were excellent.
Philly steak quesadillas.
We had breakfast sausages and blueberry pancakes with maple syrup for our dinner.

That deer looks like she is checking out what's on today's menu, Len!! Your plants look really healthy!
BakerAunt, I use fishing line (invisible) wrapped around the posts of my garden fence to deter deer. I put mine at at about 2, 4, and 7 feet off the ground. When they run into it, they are spooked because they can't see it. It has to be put up early, before anything is transplanted or seeds sprout. Once the deer get a taste of the menu, they will return. I think you could also run some kind of line across the top of your fenced garden area; but maybe not invisible fishing line, maybe something more visible? Like, that dark green gardening twine, or hot pink crochet cotton?
A nice, easy, cold meal: leftover chicken salad, Black Bean Confetti Salad from SmittenKitten's email today, and pickled red onions.
