Chocolate and strawberries




The farmers' market berries are so good, and when mixed with mini chocolate chips, they're out of this world.

This week at the market




Three cukes + two squash + one red bell pepper = yum

Filipino-style dinner




Filipino pork ribs with sweet corn, baked potato fries, and Filipino ketchup sauce. The Filipino-marinated ribs were given to us by N's sister's new nanny, and we roasted them with some extra brown sugar and soy sauce. N and I had fun playing in the kitchen with these, and they were pretty good.

This is of course N's plate; my corn was off the cob, and my portion of ribs was much smaller. :)

Salmon with green bean "fries"




Wild-caught salmon with baked green bean fries. Green bean recipe from http://www.howsweeteats.com/2010/10/roasted-green-bean-fries/. Delicious!

More scrambled eggs




Scrambled eggs have been playing a starring role in my kitchen lately. This version had yellow crookneck squash, onion, red pepper, asparagus, and sharp cheddar. Not pictured: last week's scrambled eggs with avocado. So good!
