Quinoa Parsley Salad & Watermelon Gazpacho

Quinoa and parsley salad and watermelon gazpacho.  If you don’t like sweet, you won’t like this meal.  But watermelon in soup form?  Wow!  I was really expecting to not like this, but I had a lot of watermelon to use.  I figured this was a good way to use it up and I was pleasantly surprised.

Chicken and Peach Quesadillas

Chicken and peach quesadillas with honey lime sour cream, corn saute, re-fried beans, and a garden salad with avocado.  It’s amazing how a little honey and lime in sour cream makes it seem so fancy.  It’s subtle, but definitely a nice touch.  I like the mix of fruit in things, especially in the summer.

Double Bean Burritos

Double-bean burritos, corn and summer vegetable saute, and a garden salad with avocado.  The burritos were really awesome, especially for having no meat.  And the corn thing, what a nice side dish instead of plain vegetables.  I thought maybe it’d be better cold, but after eating it, I think it’d be better warm.

Peach and Gorgonzola Chicken Pizza

Peach and gorgonzola chicken pizza with a garden salad.  Dang, this was really good.  It’s a flavor explosion and I thought all those ingredients really harmonized.  These types of pizzas always make for a cook quick meal.

Lemon Chicken

Lemon chicken, peas with pancetta, mashed potatoes, and a garden salad.  I overcooked the chicken just a little bit, but it had a great flavor.  This was a nice alternative to regular plain peas.  Easy too!

Peas with Pancetta (I used turkey bacon instead. It worked)
