Week of May 12, 2014 - Weekly Meal Ideas

To celebrate the warmer temperatures (although we weren’t ready for that blast of Summer the past few days), several recipes this week include fresh ingredients you can find at the Farmer’s Market!  Asparagus, radishes, and greens to name a few!  Now we just need some rain to help the farmers and keep the fresh veggies coming!  The Asparagus and Radishes with Mint and the Chopped Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing are both fantastic ways to take advantage of the farm-fresh produce!  Just in case you need some quick and easy (and of course really tasty) meals for this week, the Cashew Chicken Bok Choy and Soba Noodles with Broccoli and Peanut Cilantro Sauce will both come in handy!  One meal idea this week surprised us…Veggie Meatless Meatloaf!  We were thinking…veggie meatloaf?  Can a meatloaf with no meat really be good?  Yes, it really can — this veggie meat-less meatloaf is crazy delicious!  Another outstanding meal this week is the “Jam the Lamb” (Grilled Lamb Sirloin with Minted Rhubarb Marmalade)!  So, fire up the grill, serve the lamb with the Roasted Potato Salad with Tarragon Dressing, and enjoy our Spring-like weather while it lasts!
