Week of Sunday, July 8, 2012

Whew!  It's hot up in these kitchens!  Tried to plan a menu for you this week that will keep you cool...

Deadline for ordering: Friday, July 13th

Subscriptions for the month of July being taken through Friday, July 13th.
(This ONLY means that ordering "by the month" will be closed.  Order all the meals by the week or day that you want ALL through July!)

Subscription Dressing of the Week: Garlic Maple Vinaigrette
Subscription Bread of the Week: Parkerhouse Rolls (AKA Sister Schubert's from scratch!!)

1. Yogurt-Marinated Grilled Chicken

• (Or as Jenny Rosenstrach, author of "Dinner: A Love Story," calls it: Grilled Chicken for People Who Hate Grilled Chicken.  PS: This is my latest cookbook obsession--a FUN read!)
• {Preparation: Grill 3-4 minutes each side; 10 mins total}

2. Greek Pasta Salad

• It doesn't get any easier than this (for you).  Chilled rotini pasta with tomatoes, cucumber, onion, feta, and some yummy seasonings.
• {Preparation: Open & enjoy, 0 mins total}

3. Chimichurri Nachos

• Three words to reel you in: Las Delicias Chips.  You'll top em with marinated (and already grilled) skirt steak, mozzarella cheese, and crumbled cotija cheese.
• {Preparation: Assemble nachos and briefly bake, heat steak in microwave, 10 mins total}

4. Eleven Madison Park's Strawberry Gazpacho

• Ok, I know we just had Peach Gazpacho last week.  But it is the coldest and easiest summer meal you can offer for dinner.  Gazpachos are hit and miss with me...so, let's experiment!  This one has strawberries, cucumbers, bell peppers, and garlic that are marinated together before blending with extras.  Does this boggle your mind?  Me too.
• {Preparation: Open & enjoy, 0 mins total}

5. Pizza with Grape Tomatoes & Zucchini

• Homemade pizza crust, tomato sauce, farmers' market produce, fresh mozzarella.  Enough said.
• {Preparation: Heat in oven, 10-15 mins total}
