Summer Dinners

So yesterday our power went out. Only in one room. The one with the internet in it. Yup, that was fun. So instead of doing a delayed What I Ate Wednesday post, I thought I would share some of my favorite summer dinners with you! I love the summer for so many reasons: eating long dinners on the deck, having it stay light out until 9PM, using the grill, and best of all: summer fruits (peaches!) and veggies (homegrown tomatoes!).

We tend to eat a lot of fish all year round, but especially during the summers. Our favorites are salmon, black cod, Chilean sea bass and ahi tuna, which we usually grab on Sundays at the Farmers’ Market. We always pair our meals with a veggie (or two) and usually a salad as well (we have all those fresh tomatoes to get through!). And on special nights, we have some homemade ice cream for dessert.

Some of our favorites so far are:

Swordfish with miso dressing served with white rice, corn and cabbage slaw.

Chilean Sea Bass served with rice, grilled hen of the woods mushrooms and asparagus.

Meatless Mondays: Tofu stir fry, sautéed eggplant and brown rice.

 

Burrata and avocado salad
