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.

Easter Dinner

Easter dinner at my folks house is always a feast.  We only eat these things once or twice a year, so it’s always a great treat.  Today’s dinner consisted of smoked and fresh kielbasa, pierogis, ham, carrots, cole slaw, Polish sauerkraut, deviled eggs, homemade honey wheat bread, homemade challah bread, and a sponge cake with orange curd for dessert.  My brother made the carrots, and I made the cake.  My mom handled the rest.  That’s good eatin’.  For those that celebrate, hope you all had a great Easter.

Turkey Burgers w Proscuitto & Cantalope

Turkey burgers with proscuitto and cantalope, spicey sweet potato wedges with a mayonnaise honey sauce, sauteed spinach, and a garden salad.  Cantalope!?  On a burger?  It sounds weird, but it tastes surprisingly good.  It has a similar texture as a tomato and is just a little bit sweeter, so it really wasn’t as weird as I was expecting.  I really should have bought bigger buns though.

Pork Tenderloin w/ Peppers

Pork tenderloin with red and yellow peppers, sauteed spinach with raisins and pine nuts, and a salad with goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, and walnuts.  This was quick and easy and would probably be just as good with chicken.
