It’ll be a cake-filled week for the Turners, with two birthdays and a wedding this week. Wishing a very happy birthday week to my mom and dad, two of the people who have most inspired me in life and in cooking!
Looking forward to a busy but fun week ahead. On Tuesday, mom and I are going to Columbus on yet another Whole Foods adventure, Wednesday I’m hosting a dual birthday dinner, Thursday night I have photo class, and we are attending a wedding Saturday-and I have lots of fun meals and a few side projects on the menu as well!
This week’s menu is based on what is ripening in the garden (tomatoes and peppers) and a few things I need to use up from the fridge (bacon, marinara, cherry tomatoes).
I’ve also promised Cory we’ll make blueberry ice cream this week. I’m still debating on what kind of cake or dessert to make for Mom and Dad this week-I’ll keep you posted. I’d like to make a batch of Shredded Chicken for sandwiches for lunch, and to top off the week-I’ll be making my first few batches of salsa.
So here’s the plan for this week:
Sunday-Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Skewers with Onions, Pineapple, Cherry Tomatoes and Marinated Cucumbers
Getting out the grill tonight for one of our favorite meals.
Monday-Cinnamon Roll Waffles and Bacon-Breakfast for Dinner!
Another Pinterest find, and a sure hit with Cory.

Tuesday-Mystery Dinner from Columbus :)
It’ll either be Lobster Bisque from Bon Vie or a special salad from the Whole Foods hot bar. Food Network magazine has a great article this month about the cost of specific items on a grocery store salad bar, and how they compare with purchasing the individual items in the aisles. Check it out!

Five star recipe from Emeril…I’ve made this before for special events and it was amazing!

Thursday-Whole Foods Smoked Mozzarella and Roasted Red Pepper Ravioli with Carfagna’s Marinara
Whole Foods makes their own amazing ravioli, and I’m looking forward to making these with my favorite jarred marinara from Carfagna’s.
Friday-Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Roasted Tomato Soup from the garden

Saturday-Deborah and Tony’s Wedding
Best Wishes for a wonderful life together!
Stay tuned for a recap of this week’s adventures, as well as new recipes and garden news later this week!
