Hope your Fourth was filled with flags, food and fun! Ours was filled with all three, especially food.
Nate and I cooked up quite a feast! Potato salad, fruit salad, corn on the cob and RIBS. Ah, the ribs. Nate spent hours manning the grill and the result was amazing! Click here for the BBQ sauce recipe.

Hi! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and count on you to share yours! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
This week is unusual because I don’t really have a set menu. I bought quite a bit of produce at the greenmarket this weekend — from that, I’ll figure out what to make as the days progress. This week’s haul: fromage blanc, eggs, ricotta, cavolo nero (aka black cabbage), herbs, potatoes, radishes, Japanese turnips, cod, tomatoes, summer squash, a levain boule, butter and fava beans. In addition I have some leftover shrimp from Friday and a head of sucrine.
Sunday (tonight): pan-roasted cod, tomato and cucumber salad
Monday (July 6): shrimp with garlic and parsley (w/ bread to soak up the sauce); radish and cucumber salad, with fromage blanc and croutons
Tuesday (July 7): I was thinking I might do fava bean risotto. Alternately stew the beans and stir in some prosciutto and chopped sucrine.
Wednesday (July 8): Depending on what happens Tuesday, it might be a tomato and squash gratin, and a three-egg omelette. Or maybe greens with pancetta, tossed with pasta.
Thursday (July 9): Could very well be leftovers.
Friday (July 10): Probably soup and salad. I have a feeling it’ll be some kind of summer minestrone, using leftover vegetables in the fridge, dried beans and pasta.
Saturday (July 11): Depends on what looks good at the market.
This is all subject to change. I stick to my menus about 75% of the time but it also depends on the phase of the moon. 🙂
Looking forward to the ribs recipe!
