ON THE MENU 224

Happy June! June is such a fabulous month for cooks here in Lancaster County. Our farm stands are filling up with such delicious produce. Peas, zucchini, strawberries, and more! I’m eating and freezing local strawberries! They are wonderful this year and ON THE MENU this week!

MONDAY

We love grilled food. Bobby enjoys grilling and I enjoy how easy dinners become when he grill!

And if you make one thing on the menu this week make it my potato salad. Not bragging (well, yes I am) but it is the best you will ever eat! This is my number one most requested food to bring to a picnic!

I make grilled asparagus the same way I make it in the oven. Just over medium hot coals until a bit crisp.

• GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH DRY RUB
• STONEGABLE POTATO SALAD
• GRILLED ASPARAGUS

TUESDAY – SOUP DAY

This week’s soup is really a meal! Rich and full of wonderful clam flavor… and bacon! As a treat I’m making Jordan Pond Popovers! When we went to South Harbor (near Bar Harbor) for a vacation one year we ate the most delicious popovers with homemade blueberry jam.

The kind people at the Inn at Jordan Pond were happy to share their popover recipe! This post is o-l-d! But the recipe is amazing!

I make these popovers a couple times a year and they are so worth the splurge!

They can be eaten with something sweet, like jam, or even opened up and the soup poured in them. YUMMY!

• SUPER SCRUMPTIOUS NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER
• JORDAN POND POPOVERS

WEDNESDAY

The grilled salmon tonight comes from Natasha’s Kitchen! Grilled salmon tastes amazing! That little bit of smoke adds such a depth of flavor to fish!

I’ll serve tonight’s dinner in my very favorite wide soup-style dishes. Risotto on the bottom, then the sliced portabella and then a gorgeous piece of salmon on top, finished with fresh herbs. Oh so good and so beautiful!

• GRILLED SALMON WITH GARLIC LIME BUTTER
• CREAMY LEMON AND ROSEMARY RISOTTO
• GRILLED PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS

THURSDAY- SLOW COOKER DAY

Tonight’s dinner is a favorite of mine! It’s easy to make and has such amazing flavors. I don’t know many people who don’t love chili for dinner! And especially when it is served with plenty of yummy things you can add to it!

• OUR FAVORITE CHILI
• NACHO CHIPS AND OTHER FIXINS

See my slow cooker HERE.

FRIDAY

Many of you know my love of a perfect hamburger! Grilled. On a soft bun and lots of fresh lettuce, tomato, and a bit of chopped onion. Oh, and also mayo and a taddy bit of mustard!

Tonight I’m combining my love for a hamburger with a love for anything Tex-Mex! Don’t quesadilla hamburgers sound insanely good? I think so too!

I’ll ask Bobby to grill the hamburgers for tonight’s fiesta! Thanks, Jenna from Recipe Diaries.

• QUESIDALLA HAMBURGER (APPLEBEE’S COPYCAT)

SATURDAY- COMPANY’S COMING

• JUICY GRILLED PORK CHOPS
• CRISPY GARLIC BUTTER PARMESAN SMASHED POTATOES

SUNDAY

Pasta Carbonara is more or less a pantry meal! I always have the ingredients in my kitchen! I think ever home cook should learn how to make this chef’s staple! Oh, it is delicious and so so easy to throw together and is company worthy!

The same sentiment goes for the Caesar Salad. We serve this salad most often here at StoneGable!

• EASY PASTA CARBONARA
• CAESAR SALAD
• GREEK OLIVE MIX
• CRUSTY BREAD

SWEET TREAT OF THE WEEK

There seems to be quite a confusion when it comes to the terms “crisp” and “cobbler”. Although they are similar they are also very different.

I’m making Strawberry Cobbler this week. However, if you prefer Strawberry Crisp you can find it HERE or if you like Strawberry Shortcake it’s HERE.

• STRAWBERRY COBBLER
