Summer veggie pizza and a salad. I’ve never had asparagus on pizza before so I wasn’t sure about this. It could have gone either way, but I really liked this. This was a great veggie dish and really easy if you use pre-made dough, which is what I did. It called for red peppers which would have helped the color presentation a little better, but I already had orange ones. I also overcooked it just a bit. I blame Ellie for that though.
RECIPES:
Zucchini angel hair pancake, corn on the cob, and a garden salad. Even though I really messed this up, it wasn’t too bad. I think it’s worth another look because I goofed it up so bad. I left out the sour cream and I mixed the marinara sauce in the mix instead of using as a dipping sauce. It felt like my noodle to zucchini ratio was way off too. Good use of garden zucchini though.
RECIPES:
Shrimp, broccoli and sun-dried tomato pasta. This is a recent repeat, but I made it following the recipe this time. Soo good. I love this. It’s definitely in the top five for the year so far.
RECIPE:
Pasta with chicken, homemade pesto, zucchini, and tomatoes. I announced I wasn’t cooking today so Aya whipped this up using garden vegetables and making pesto with the garden basil. Her pesto is pretty amazing. It’s a nice summer time treat.
Eggplant stir-fry, seaweed salad, and natto over rice. Aya made this dish with eggplant and peppers from the garden. I don’t think it has an official recipe. Natto is fermented soy beans. They are awful. They smell like stinky feet and taste worse. I guess you need to be Japanese to appreciate that one.
