Chicken w/ Bourbon Peach Butter

Chicken with bourbon peach butter, salad with avocados, and leftover melon gazpacho with “frizzled” prosciutto.  I’ve never made any kind of butter before, let alone butter with bourbon in it.  I used Maker’s Mark, but I don’t it matters.  Making peach butter was really easy, but very time consuming.  I didn’t realize it needed to be in the oven for over two hours.  Luckily I started dinner early today.  I wonder if it’s good on toast?  And that soup, it really shines when you have a spoonful of everything.  The prosciutto, the fresh mint, and the soup mixture.  Weird, but very good.  I’m sure you could substitute bacon instead of frizzled prosciutto.

Chicken Tacos w/ Melon Gazpacho Soup

Chicken tacos with tomatoes and grilled corn, and melon gazpacho soup.  The tacos were just okay, but these crazy fruit soups are awesome.  Peach and cantaloupe combined, then garnished with “frizzled” prosciutto.  Not bad eating.

Grilled Zucchinni Sandwiches & Bacon-Corn Chowder w/ Shrimp

Grilled zucchini caprese sandwiches, and bacon-corn chowder with shrimp.  This month’s issue of Cooking Light is kicking out some good recipes!  Both of these were great, and I was able to use food from the garden.  I used turley bacon instead of regular bacon.  It didn’t seem to be a problem.  The chowder said 20-minute meals, and by golly, it sure was.  This was a great summery meal.

Spicy Chicken Stew

Aya planned all the meals and went grocery shopping for me this week since I was tearing our house apart.  I requested easy slow cooker recipes to make my job a little easier.  Yesterday’s  beef stroganoff went so easy I forgot to take a picture.  And now it’s all gone.  But today was spicy chicken stew and a garden salad.  It wasn’t that spicy, I forgot the corn, and my picture looks way different.  But I really liked it.

Chicken, Mustard Greens, Gruyere Quesadillas

Chicken, mustard greens, and gruyère quesadillas, with leftover vegetarian chili and a garden salad.  It pretty much looks the same as yesterday’s dinner, but tastes very different.  I forgot to buy mustard greens so I went with spinach instead which I’m assuming was fine.  The gruyère cheese was pretty awesome though.  I’ve never had that before.
