Summer Dishes

It looks like I just don't have time for typing up recipes these days. :( However, I AM sticking with the summer challenge and aiming for dishes that don't use the oven.

Here are a few things Andrei and I have added to our rotation...


Savory Dishes:

-Chicken Spaghetti Alfredo
-Tex-Mex (most recent was pork fajitas in enchilada sauce, rolled up and crisped in a saucepan)
-Stove-top Potatoes au Gratin (potatoes are boiled ahead of time, then browned in a saucepan and simmered in a creamy cheese sauce, with or without meat added)

Andrei's panna cotta with mint leaves and fresh strawberries
Desserts:

-Panna Cotta (Andrei made it; main ingredients are heavy cream, non-flavored gelatin, sugar, and vanilla)
-Fresh Fruit Trifle (A good way to use fruit in season, layered with cake and custard cream)


Salads:

-Fresh Broccoli Salad (with cheese, bacon, onion, and a mayonnaise sauce, doesn't sound too healthy-I think this was the Paula Deen version!)
