Week of July 22

This week is a great example of how you can prep for the week and still have a great series of meals. I was on the road Sunday to Thursday this week, then spent all day Saturday and Sunday morning involved with a company function.

I had no time whatsoever to cook anything ahead. So, I planned a menu that uses a lot of fresh veggies from farm stands and a few items from the freezer.

This picture is of a jar of truffle salt - truly amazing stuff. It's truffle pieces blended with sea salt. It adds truffle flavor to anything it's sprinkled over. I used it in my chanterelle and truffle hash for Sunday dinner.

On Sunday:
  • I went grocery shopping.
  • I made Sunday dinner.
  • I defrosted bread for sandwiches and the bread salad.
  • I defrosted containers of chili and of black-eyed pea dal.
