Week of May 26, 2014 - Weekly Meal Ideas

As we remember and honor those who lost their lives serving our country on Memorial Day, we hope everyone will have a chance to get together with family and friends and let them know how much we appreciate them.  Since Memorial Day weekend is also considered the kick-off to summer, we have included some great-tasting meal ideas – including some great ones if you are going to fire up the grill or are trying to please your family and friends!

The launch into summer wouldn’t be complete without an amazing burger, right?!  The Fajita Burger has been a Get REAL Wichita member favorite so we included it in this week’s ideas – it is delicious!  And, while you have the grill hot, consider making the Grilled Vegetables with Basil Pecan Pesto or the Grilled Cucumbers – they are both excellent!  If you have never grilled cucumbers, you have to try these…they are fantastic with the feta dipping sauce!

If you need an easy slow cooker idea, the Slow Cooker Thai Inspired Pulled Pork is delicious and the pork (falling apart after cooking low and slow) makes easy great-tasting Banh Mi Sandwiches!  Serve with the Tropical Spiced Fruit Salad and you will be the hit of the party!

Just in case you couldn’t make it to our Farm-to-Table lunch last Saturday (or if you did attend and can’t wait to make this amazing pizza at home), we have included the recipe for the Moroccan Lamb Pizza!  This masterpiece was created by Travis from Public using all ingredients from local farms — and it is fantastic!  Thanks again to Public and our local farmers who provided for the lunch!


THE REAL DEALS!

Fresh ingredients from the Farmer’s Market will make this week’s meals taste even better!  Stop by on Saturday from 7 AM to Noon at the Kansas Grown Market at 21st and Ridge, or the Old Town market!

  • Graze the Prairie will have ground beef for your Fajita Burger!  Natural and grass-fed, their beef is the quality we all should be eating!
  • The Banh Mi Sandwich would not be the same without fresh sprouts from Jimmy at Kan-Grow!
  • If you want to make your own Moroccan Lamb Pizza – Clark Farm is the perfect place to get your ground lamb!
  • Elm Lane Farm has fresh greens that will make your Roasted Asparagus and Strawberry Salad complete!

Don’t forget, you can use your coupon and get the rest of your ingredients for this week’s meals at Green Acres!

Patio is open!  As we head into summer, there are several local restaurants where you can enjoy a great-tasting REAL meal, sit outside on the patio, and use your Get REAL Wichita coupons!

  • Enjoy the fresh farm-to-table menu and riverside view on the patio at Harvest Kitchen at the Hyatt!
  • New items on the Taste and See 2 menu and a relaxing patio to enjoy Chef Jason’s delicious creations!
  • Avivo Brick Oven and Pizzeria has Happy Hour from 3-6 PM, Monday through Friday.  The patio is a perfect place to enjoy their yummy plate specials!
  • Lotus Leaf Cafe is thriving in their new location at 2nd and Washington!  We visited this week and it was wonderful – their patio is open and so is their coffee/wine/smoothie bar!
  • Public at the Brickyard is the perfect place for your next lunch!  Fantastic food and lots of space to enjoy the weather on their patio!
