Food this week - 8.11.13-8.17.13

I've been really horrible at updating here lately. I turned in my master's thesis this past week, so things finally feel as if they're calming down. Perhaps I will now be a bit more consistent in my posting.
Sadly, this week, many of the foods we'll be enjoying do not have recipes, but I'll share what I can...
For dinner this week, we'll be having:
Crabcakes -- no recipe, we buy them from the fish dude at the farmer's market and they are aMAHzing.
Pizza -- I use a frozen crust (Real NY Pizza Dough), this sauce, and then top with chopped spinach, artichokes, sliced tomatoes, black olives, and feta.
Lentil Soup -- weird choice for a very warm and humid summer, but I have a lot of lentils sitting in my cabinet waiting to be used.

For lunches this week we'll be having:
Romaine salad w/green and red peppers, tomatoes, black beans and corn.
Blender Gazpacho made with this bread.
Pasta salad of my own recipe -- includes roasted yellow & red peppers, broccoli and tomatoes.
Burrito salad using my own guac recipe

I think that's it for this week. I will try to be more diligent next week!

Food this week (7.14.13-7.20.13)...and last

There is a lot of scrambling going on in my life at  the moment...trying to get a thesis project done so I can start living my life again...a couple major projects at work. Needless to say, last week's menu did not get posted. So, for posterity's sake, I'll throw it in here.
Enjoy your week. Stay sane.
