Not too long ago (but long enough for this blog post to be way overdue) I went down to a friend's cabin for the weekend. It was lovely; two days full of swimming, shopping, playing bananagrams, and, of course, eating. Being that we were three girls with a kitchen that only fit one person comfortably, we decided to each create something for the others to enjoy. Naturally I chose Jamie.
It was a super simple, but nevertheless perfect summer dish. It was made even easier by my decision to use smoked salmon instead salmon filets. It was a bit of a cop out, but both my wallet & my laziness thanked me. Here's to summer livin'!
PS local Washington cucumber & swapping regular yogurt for the Greek variety were two other excellent choices.
After offering to cook dinner tonight, I was having trouble deciding on what to make. Flipping through "Jamie's Food Revolution," nothing jumped out at me as "the perfect summer meal." That is, until I stumbled upon JO's burger recipe...A Cracking Burger
...aside from not using parsley in the patty recipe (trying to avoid a revolt from the troops), I followed Jamie's instructions to the T. And, for once, my entire family was satisfied. Not a complaint was heard. Huzzah!Hope you're having a good weekend! Cheers!
To spice things up a bit, this week's Jamie Endeavour was an AM thing. Additionally, it was a one serving kind of ordeal - breakfast for my mom! A Jamie Oliver Mushroom Omelette.
After a sunny, sweaty hike Saturday morning, I popped over to Superstore (I know, neither the freshest nor the best produce. It was for convenience's sake.) for some mushrooms. $45 worth of clearance Joe Fresh clothing and one paper bag of mushrooms later, I returned home and got down to business. It was a super simple recipe (perhaps chosen on purpose,weekend laziness...) Despite my lack of effort and creativity with this week's choice, my mom enjoyed it! Here's to only having to please one palette!
If you're interested in seeing what I wore for my first What I Wore Wednesday, please make your way over to "Can't Stop, Craft Till We Drop."Cheers!
