Spicy Carrot Sandwiches

Always a winner. While I didn’t have farmers’ market fresh carrots, it still was delicious quick meal. I didn’t use sourdough, I did have some La Mie bread on hand and that was a good alternative.

Mayo-Free Chicken Salad With Kimchi, Ginger, and Scallions Recipe

Once again I only vaguely followed the recipe. I do want to have a balance of flavors in a chicken salad, and that, to me, has to include mustard at some point. The mayo, mustard, chopped kimchi make for a good base. I used a smoked chicken, which added a nice light smokey background. All and all, it worked out pretty well.

Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa Recipe

Delayed! With it hot and humid out near the end of the week it didn’t make the list of things I wanted to do.

Fast and Easy Pasta With Blistered Cherry Tomato Sauce Recipe

This was fast, and easy. I used some Wabi Sabi cherry tomatoes (Sungold I think) and it was quite a good meal.

One-Pan Bucatini with Leeks and Lemon

I apparently forgot about the title and got the large pot ready to go, heated and salted the water…

Then started reading the directions and used the heated water to quicken things up a bit, I suppose, but even so, it was a nice meal. I didn’t end up long slicing the leeks, but cross slicing them. It still worked out, even though I had extra dishes to do.
