Dinners: Week of July 21

The theme this week is farm fresh.  I've been enjoying going to the renovated Grand Rapids farmer's market on Saturday mornings with my mom whenever I can.  Sadly this coming Saturday, I have a work related commitment which means no farm fresh veggies unless I go after the work meeting.  But that means even more time away from Graham and Jeff, so I'll just have to settle with no farm fresh veggies next week.  Unless I get some from the Kalamazoo Community garden, which I've worked now a couple times.  This week, I got onions, kale, herbs, radish and summer squash!

• Grilled Steak with herb butter and Romaine Salad with Purple Cabbage and shaved Radishes
• The delmonico steaks from Byron Center Meats were delicious!
• Whole Wheat Penne with Sauteed Summer Squash, Red Bell Pepper, Onion and Kale 
• Turkey Burgers, Baked Beans and Cantaloupe
• Corn and Cod Chowder and Romaine Salad
• I added summer squash, reduced the amount of milk and upped the amount of broth and no half and half at the end.  Still a very tasty soup!  The corn and potatoes came from the farmer's market.
• Grilled Chicken Breast and Asparagus with leftover Rice
• Leftover Soup
• Thai Chicken Salad with Rice Noodles
• I realized that I neglected to get cabbage, so this will be a little less substantial, but hopefully still tasty.
