Menu Monday

Good Monday morning! Hope you had a good weekend. We had a fun party yesterday with some fun people that I wanted to recap last night, but the law profession came a'calling. We're down to one functioning computer, so blogging had to take a backseat. We know what pays the bills around here.

This is the mushroom and herb strata from last week. I didn't really know what a strata was when I made it the first time. I guess I'd say it's like a savory bread pudding? This recipe tastes great, but if you're a texture person...proceed with caution.

Anyway - here's what we're having for dinner this week!

• Grilled Chicken with Panzanella - Panzanella is one of my favorite summer dishes. In Athens, I used to make it just to have in the fridge for snacks. (Warning: It's not really bathing suit season friendly since its main ingredient is bread.) You just need cubed crusty bread, your favorite veggies (grape tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, herbs, etc.) and a vinaigrette. Stir it all up.
• Asparagus & Ricotta Pizzas
• Spaghetti (They don't all have to be creative...)
• Chicken Sausage over Chickpeas with Chard and Pan-Roasted Tomatoes
