Goodness, Monday already. Happy summer solstice! But that means more dinners need to get planned. I want a vegetarian pasta dish for tonight, and with the beautiful produce we have available, there are just so many options. I might be jumping the gun a bit since our corn isn't yet local, but I bought such beautiful snap peas at Saturday's Farmers Market that we'll go with linguine with summer succotash, a veggie fiesta from Bon Appetit. Sounds like a good way to welcome the first day of summer.
Next, we love polenta/grits/whatever you want to call them. With pretty large shrimp on sale at Sunflower (although not at as good a price as they had a few weeks ago), we'll indulge in shrimp and grits with spinach, also from Bon Appetit. This makes good use of the beautiful spinach we still have available, too.
So we've done potatoes, pasta, then grits, so it will be time to move onto something with rice. With chicken sausage being part of Sprouts' sausage bonanza sale, I'm in the mood for sausage and lentils with spinach served over brown rice. Spinach is looking like a theme for this week, but I can't get enough of it.
Finally, it's a week of beef sales, and I have some gorgeous cilantro to use from the Farmers Market, so we'll wrap up with sirloin steak with tomato and cilantro sauce. I'll either make soft tacos with warm tortillas as Bon Appetit suggests, or might experiment with serving it over microwaved baking potatoes.
And voila, we're done for the week.
