What We Ate Wednesday: Every Wednesday I write a blog post with all of the vegetarian dinners we ate this week.
Welp. I skipped last week’s WWAW again so you get another twofer this week. Oh and it isn’t Wednesday (as you may have noticed). It’s Friday. Oh well! Our last two week’s worth of dinners:
Wednesday: Tortellini, Pesto, and Green Beans
Super easy! Store bought fresh tortellini (Trader Joe’s has the cheapest–$2 for a pack), garlic scape pesto and blanched green beans.
Thursday: Halloumi, Zucchini, Cherry Tomatoes, and Brown Rice
I love this meal and plan to have it once per week for the rest of the summer!! It is delicious, healthy, and really easy. Halloumi (found at trader joe’s) is an awesome cheese that you can grill and it doesn’t melt! The only prep for the Halloumi was drizzling it with olive oil. For the zucchini and tomatoes, I coated with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Ben grilled it all up. So, so good! Oh, and we drizzled aged balsamic over the top which made it even better.
Friday: Truckeroo
Tuckeroo is an awesome food truck festival held in DC every month in the spring/summer. I got my dinner from the Randy Radish and it was AMAZING! I had vegan mac and cheez and fries. It was delicious!! Sam had a corndog and I had some of that too. Also great!
Saturday: Date Night
We met our friends Heather and Rich at Le Diplomat. It was soooo good. I had the best mussels of my life. Can’t wait to go back!
Sunday: Dinner with the Owens
Our good friends Jess and Matt invited us over for a family dinner at their house. Sam and their daughter are classmates and Campbell and their younger daughter are also classmates. So fun! They also invited another preschool family and we all had so much fun! It was so nice to let the kids go play in the basement while all the grown ups could visit. Jess made delicious shrimp tacos. Yu-um!!!
Monday: Dilled Lentils
I have had this recipe saved in Evernote for a while and just got around to making. Simple but delicious.
Tuesday: Indian Take-out
Ben’s parents were here so we had to get Indian Take-Out! It’s like a Pavlovian response for me now!
Wednesday: Chipotle Corn Chowdah
I made this soup (skip the bacon–you won’t miss it!) along with a key lime pie for our neighbors, so of course we had some too! But sadly I only made one pie.
Thursday: Leftovers
Well. What a day this was. I was going to make cucumber soup (see friday) but at about 4:30 I slipped running up the stairs, knocked my head into the wall, and ruined all plans I had for the evening. It was quite a scare–my head still hurts. And Ben had to leave work early. Anyway, everyone ate leftovers (I couldn’t eat anything on account of the concussion!)
Friday: Cucumber Soup and Shrimp
Here is the meal we were meant to have on Thursday! Cucumber Soup…it was good but a little monotonous. Probably won’t make it again.
Saturday: Pizza at the Pool
We had the Owens over for pizza at our pool! I made a kale salad and brought some watermelon to go with the pizza. We had such a good time with our friends, as always!
Sunday: Halloumi
I will just call this our Halloumi meal. Like I said, it’s our once a week summer dinner!
Monday: Mac and Cheese and Burgundy Beans
I made my macaroni and cheese and roasted some burgundy green beans from our CSA (which, by the way, turn normal green bean color when you cook them).
Tuesday: Breakfast Tacos and Mexican Corn
Yuuuuuuum!!!! I made this Mexican corn (amazing!) and breakfast tacos with potatoes, eggs, and cheese. Really, really good.
What on earth are they watching that has them all so riveted?
