What's Cooking Today

Heading to the pool with my parents today, Doug is working for the 3rd weekend in a row.

Yesterday I made up a batch of Peach Sangria (Southern Living Magazine)

1 bottle rose wine (do not use white zin)

3/4 cup peach vodka

6 TBSP thawed frozen lemonade concentrate (I used pink lemonade concentrate)

2 TBSP sugar

1 lb ripe peaches peeled and sliced

1 6oz pack of fresh raspberries

2 cups chilled club soda (added before serving)

Combine first 5 ingredients in a pitcher, stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in peaches and raspberries, cover and chill for 8 hours - I did over night.

Stir in chilled club soda just before serving.

Sesame Slaw - made this last night, we love this!

6 cups of shredded cabbage

1 cup of cilantro

Dressing:

1/4 c OJ

2 TBSP oil

2 TBSP vinegar

1 TBSP honey

2 tsp sesame seeds

Also, this week I am going to be making this Roasted Red Pepper Pasta, so while grilling steaks last night I threw the peppers on, sweated them and peeled, so those are ready when I am.

Tonight I am also making Garlic Scapes to eat Monday or Tuesday with grilled chicken.
