Eggplant Parmesan




(Friday Night)

Made a Fantastic Eggplant Parmesan – fantastic, really!!!! It had a slightly spicy tomato base sauce. I used some dry farmed tomatoes I had frozen from last winter – very very flavorable . Then we moved to a grilled Niman Ranch Chili Marinated Beef Bavette, which I found when I picked up the lamb sausage. This cut was incredibly tender & juicy with excellend flavor - one of our new summer time favorite cuts for the grill! Really tasty! We had a salad course next. Baby butter lettuce with some chopped up baby red onions and fennel. I made a balsamic goat cheese dressing & sprinkled the crazy black salt flakes, I found last week, over the top – yum! For dessert I whipped up some Vanilla Bean ice cream!

Grass-fed Beef Burgers






A whole weekend spent eating out – boy, was I glad to get back into the kitchen! We had a couple hungry guy friends over so we decided to fire up the grill and throw some burgers on! Was fantastic if I do say so! Started the meal with homemade meyer lemon (thanks to my neighbor for bringing a whole bag full of them over) hummus & Stacy’s Pita chips. Dinner was grass fed beef burgers seasoned perfectly with fresh herbs, served on egg sesame buns with homemade ketchup. Served with grilled white corn and a Greek salad with it! For dessert, I used a recipe from Tartelette, Cardamon Ice Cream – WOW!!!! I am now addicted to my new Kitchen Aid ice cream maker!!!
