Ruth's Ramblings

Weekend Food Thots

I have all these random lamb shoulder chops. Time to learn how to cook lamb. I also have a whole bunch of artichokes, so lets see what I can do with them together. Upcoming dinner items...
Meat:
- lamb steaks & artichoke hearts (maybe with some yellow onions and garlic?)
Pasta:
- tortellini w/ spinach walnut pesto (I didn't get that food processor for nothing!)
Veggies/sides:
- grilled sweet potatoes (with lime/cilantro vinagrette)
- roasted vegetables (bell peppers, eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, shallots)
- green beans (gotta finish those)... not sure what to do to make them interesting...
And if there's leftover lamb chops in my freezer... maybe i'll panfry with some tomatoes and a wine glaze..? And if there's a sale for pork tenderloins, maybe I'll do some roasting with some balsamic vinegar...?
Oooh, this is so fun. Yum!
