A week ago, Thursday, I stopped at the produce stand and picked up a load of produce, including 2 whole watermelons, a couple of cantaloupe, celery, and red sweet peppers. The meals this past week included all of this bounty.
Oven frittatas are a fall-back item for us, as I can quickly get one put together, then into the oven for a decent main dish, with minimal work. The frittata from this week included some of the sweet red pepper, and basil leaves from our garden. It was yummy!
The creamy rhubarb jello, which was made for the 4th celebration, is a puree of sweetened rhubarb sauce, cream cheese and gelatin. It's a favorite way to eat rhubarb, in our house.
Mexican fried rice? This was like rice and beans, but with scrambled eggs added in. It was leftover from weekend lunches.
And now, we're back to "normal" summer meals. The produce stand goodies are almost gone, and I'm still working through the freezer and pantry surpluses. I'm doing well with the grocery budget for July, so far. We're 1 week into the month and I've only spent $1 (graham crackers for Monday).
How did your meals go this past week? Did you find that you had a lot of leftovers from the 4th of July, or Canada Day? Anyone using their watermelon rinds to make pickles this summer?
Have a great weekend!
