MIL sent me home with a carcass from a roast chicken, so I'm thinking chicken noodle soup or chicken and rice soup.

Last night we had the leftovers from DS's birthday party -- hot dogs, pesto pasta salad, tex-mex quinoa salad, cake.

Tonight I made a vegetable and cheese tart/frittata kind of thing. Pretty good, and I realized while we were eating it that everything in it except the cheese was locally grown/made!

Today is DD's b-day, so we are having shrimp. She loves shrimp! I think I am going to make either a stir-fry or a scampi.

Shrimp stir-fry or scampi
Yellow rice or thin spaghetti if we have scampi
Steamed asparagus
Rolls

Birthday cake
Ice cream

I think I'm just going to make tuna sandwiches. : I haven't planned anything or taken anything out of the freezer. I do have to do something with our CSA green beans and thought about trying Barbara Kingsolver's "frijole guacamole" from AVM. I will also cut up some carrot sticks and serve those with homemade hummus and ranch dressing.

We are having chicken in the crockpot. It's a recipe with salsa, black beans, corn, and cream cheese. I will make some rice to have it over as well.

We didn't end up with quesadillas last night, dh had fed the kids breakfast by the time I got home. So I had cheese fries after they went to bed.

Tonight is zesty grilled ham steak, hot crash potatoes and steamed brocoli I got at the farmer's market.

Tonight we're having leftover grilled chicken with Crash Hot Potatoes (thank you to whoever posted the link for these earlier in the thread!), salad, and either broccoli from the garden if it's ready to harvest or another veggie from the farmer's stand that's right down the street.

Good choice on the potatoes! I can't wait to try them.

I just realized all our dinner will be local and organic. :

Doesn't that make dinner even better?! Ours will all be local at least, but I don't think the 'taters or the lettuce for the salad are organic.
