hey I thought Wednesdays was take a picture of your dinner day??? I did remember earlier in the day but then forgot when dinner time rolled around.. I was feeling like ####### anyways... so it just slipped my mind...

I forgot too. But this is what I had, except it wasn't a double burger. Husband also picked up a salad, which will now be lunch!

You guys are a riot. I will take a picture to prove it! I sure hope I remember to. Even worse... I sure hope we have Cobb salad!

I usually take a quick look through this thread or see what people post throughout the day. Then my husband comes home and changes everything.

Well, I've changed my mind since this morning. My neighbour was going to Costco this morning and asked if I'd like to come. She would buy me what I'd like to get if I saw something. I don't have a Costco membership, and will never get one myself...as I don't believe in paying anyone for the privilage to shop at their store and spend MY money! Ooops...this isn't the vent thread!

So, I brought home some delightful things and we're going to have one of my favourite suppers! How does, fresh baked whole grain artisian bread sound...with various cheeses (including goat..my fav!), an assortment of italian salami, wheatberry fruit salad, hummus (this is my homemade stuff, not from Costco), an assortment of coloured mini peppers and tomatoes, leftover broccoli cauliflower salad, lentils and rice. Perhaps a nice bottle of wine and candles as well?

Mmmmmmmm sounds yummy to me!

Tonight I am trying a few things from my Wild Rose detox cookbook. I am making chickpea and squash patties with a lemon tahini dressing to go on top, Mediterranean salad, baked sweet potatoes and steamed artichoke.

it's so hard for us to find the time to make stuff during the week with work and all....

tonight we are just grilling some chicken breast that has been marinated along with veggies and rice.

I love Costco's whole wheat Artisan bread! We always pick up a few loaves when we go - but then we eat it all right away and we don't always get back there for a few more weeks:-(. Ah, well. Tonight is going to be one of my favourites - ratatouille - lots of good fresh vegetables simmered together in herbs and served over noodles- yum!

Wheat berry Salad

1 cup wheat berries, soaked overnight

1/2 cup raw wild rice

2/3 cup toasted chopped pecans

1 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/2 cup chopped green onions

3 tbs fresh lemon or lime juice

1 tbs honey

1 tbs dijon mustard

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Preparation:

Soak the wheat berries overnight in cold water, covering them 3 inches. Drain the water in the morning.

Boil the wheat berries in 6 cups of water for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until tender. Add more water as necessary to keep wheat berries covered during cooking. Drain excess water from the wheat berries when done.

In another small pot, boil 2 cups of water. Add the wild rice and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the rice begins to split. I prefer to undercook the wild rice slightly so that it retains some structure. Drain excess water.

Combine the cooked wheat berries and wild rice in a large bowl.

Whisk the lime juice, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper to make the dressing. Add the dressing to the wheat berries and wild rice, mix thoroughly.

Now add the cranberries, pecans, parsley, and green onions and combine well.

What's nice about this salad is that you can add whatever you want in it. You can make it with wheat berries alone, or with the rice, or some type of pilaf or coucous even. Add cucumber, tomatoes, whatever vegetable you'd like.

If you don't like the lime juice vinaigrette dressing, you could make orange if you'd like.

ORANGE VINAIGRETTE:

1/4 c. fresh orange juice

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
