Yahoo, we'll have a relatively cool day today, with temps only getting to the upper 70s (but hope, hope, hope for less wind), so we have to return to the oven after being so deprived of pizza across the summer. Just roll out the wonderful fresh dough from Whole Foods (I believe Sunflower carries their own too, don't know about Sprouts) on a cookie sheet and top with whatever suits your fancy. With the sausage sales happening this week at both Sprouts and Sunflower, we'll probably return to our favorite pizza alla salsiccia, or sausage pizza, from Cooking Light. It's also an opportunity to use some nice fresh fennel and local tomatoes. With smoked gouda on sale at Sprouts for $6.99/lb, another possibility that suggests itself is another favorite, barbeque chicken pizza from Bon Appetit.
Getting back to our end of summer celebration as the temperatures rise a bit again, we'll of course have to fit in another grilling of salmon, with the good prices at several stores that you see at the left. Last weekend we grilled eggplant for a side salad, so this week we'll turn to something like grilled corn succotash, which fits in all kinds of veggies at the height of their season. Some edamame from the freezer are also a really good substitute for the small amount of lima beans called for.
To round out the weekend, the fabulous sale on organic leeks for 99 cents a pound at Sunflower is calling, so one thing that spells is a potato leek chowder. My favorite is from the classic cookbook Jane Brody's Good Food, so it doesn't have a link, but this simple recipe looks very similar. I might be inclined to add some fresh corn kernels, too.
That will get us through the weekend, with more thinking ahead.
