Grilled chicken, au gratin potatoes and sauteed squash for our supper. Not much cooking going on here right now due to the heat.

Not too much cooking going on here.  I just feel uninspired lately.  Mr. 4kitties wanted spaghetti last night so I made it for him.  I was not at all hungry so I just skipped supper.

Tonight I made a zucchini casserole with some zucchini I got at the farmer's market this morning.  Since Mr. 4kitties does not care for it I made him a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich.  We also had corn on the cob from the farmer's market.

Hope everyone here had a great Saturday and something to look forward to on Sunday. I made wonderful little omelettes with a ton of spinach and feta cheese inside for dinner today. I'd had salmon and sauteed kale for breakfast...backward, right? We also had  red wine with dinner. Red wine always makes everything even better IMO.

Tomorrow, I'm thinking I'll make creamed spinach, to use the rest of the spinach and as a treat. Scalloped potatoes with it? I totally forget how to make scalloped potatoes...anyway, two creamed things, maybe not. Maybe a roasted chicken breast. I wonder if creamed spinach would be good on a bed of gnocchi?

Well- if I ever get my table top gas grill---I'm going to grill something!!  I have this monster stainless steel grill that is too heavy and tank like for me to move it or even clean it----hubs got it for me but man alive, the thing is a beast-----ordered some salmon and rockfish and some nice beef form local vendors for my freezer--perfect for the grill

Well I got back to it with a vengeance.  

We have sweet potato hash, browned ground turkey, lettuce prepped for salads, and an almond flour loaf and cassava bread loaf baking away in the oven.  

The locknlock containers are getting a workout.  Enjoy your cooking week all.

Wow, that sounds great! What do you put in your sweet potato hash? Do you put the turkey in the hash?

I'm imagining yellow sweet potatoes, asparagus and radishes, all three chopped up in medium dice, sautéed in EVOO, and with a lot of parsley and a little fresh dill. Maybe some salmon in it or with it, yum.

@KaySD   Oooh, I may steal that.  You are better than me! 

I normally make a huge batch of shredded sweet potatoes and cook them stove top in olive oil, tumeric, and Italian spices.  

Then I can and do mix in the turkey or sometimes I fold in cheese sauce or sometimes I do scrambled eggs mixed in for a breakfast bowl.  Or it can be straight up as is with a side of ketchup.  

Very versatile!

Im always looking for more ways to use sweet potatoes. I especially like the yellow ones that aren't all that sweet and have a lovely texture. But I never thought to grate them like hash browns. I'm stealing your idea, too! 

Now I'm wondering. I've seen people make waffles out of regular shredded potatoes, adding just enough egg or something to stick them together. Have been meaning to try that, as an alternative to bread. Would it work with the yellow sweet potatoes? The sweeter ones would probably caramelize too quickly. But white sweet potatoes and Swiss cheese waffles, and your ground turkey burger (with some finely chopped kale in it for texture), you'd have some sandwich! Yes? No?
