Notice the pencil for size reference?!? The carrots are the small variety (in addition to being dwarfed by the massive cukes!) and the zuke I just really wanted to pick! It will go well with the veggie fajitas when I make them! Guess the rain is good for something after all... Sam likes it too!
The other night I made a great bean salad, but somehow the pictures got erased? Here is the recipe anyway!
Santa Fe Salad
1 can each pintos and black beans, drained and rinsed well
1 small can sliced black olives
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup sweet corn
1/4 cup fat free sour cream
2 tbsp lime juice
1 cup fresh cilantro,chopped
2 tsp cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
pinch salt
Mix everything together and fridge for a few hours before serving. The original recipe called for green beans and green chiles, but I left those out. I do think it needed some chopped tomatoes!! Cukes would be good too...
Tonight I am making Chicken Dijonaise from my grilling cookbook. It's basically a whole chicken (flattened) marinated in a mix of dry vermouth, dijon mustard, garlic, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. It smells incredible as it's cooking now, so I hope I remember to photo it! I am serving it with sauteed broccolini and steamed carrots. I am also making broasted new potatoes, but I doubt I will eat any. Saving those calories for a glass or two of pinot grigio! ;) If I remember to photo, I will post it tomorrow.
