Lisa: What We're Eating: June 2012

Been busy eating and not posting.

I had the chance to get two free weeks of produce/grocery delivery from a new service in our area, so have been enjoying trying it out.

Here's what we've been eating.

-Crock-pot pulled pork on toasted French rolls with barbecue sauce
-Roasted carrots
-Roasted Yukon Gold potatoes
-Grilled Salmon (a weekly standard), cous cous and broccoli
-Pan-fried Pork Chops with Gravy - This comes together in less than 30 minutes with minimal prep, so it's a regular in the meal rotation.
-Sugar snap peas
-Roasted zucchini "coins" sprinkled cheese and broiled (per kids' request)
-Yogurt, fruit and granola "banana split"
-Home made granola with slivered almonds, pepitas, pecans, coconut oil, chia and shredded coconut

Lisa: Mother's Day Strawberry Goodness

My husband cooked Mother's Day dinner for both sides of the family this past weekend. We had a simple and excellent meal of grilled wild-caught local salmon, mixed grains cooked in chicken stock, green beans and French bread.

We also got some enormous organic strawberries and mint at the farmer's market. I decided to make strawberry-mint limeade for everyone to drink. Delicious! Also, fun to muddle the strawberries and mint together.

My husband baked shortcake, and we topped with some freshly-whipped cream, strawberries and fresh mint.
