Shrimp, Bok Choy and Soba Stir-Fry

This wasn’t an exact recipe I followed, but more of a guide. I had soba noodles I needed to use up and didn’t have the ingredients for all the cool recipes I found. However, you can never go wrong with a simple stir-fry with a bunch of veggies. I even used my mandolin slicer to cut the matchstick cut carrots. That tool is sweet!

Tilapia Tacos w/ Grilled Peppers

Sauteed tilapia tacos with grilled peppers and onions, creamed cucumbers, and a garden salad.  This was just okay.  It was quick and easy, but it didn’t pack the flavor punch I was expecting. The cucumbers were awesome because they were from my mom’s garden, had garden dill, and I used my mandolin slicer for the first time too.  It’s an easy summer side dish.

Creamed Cucumbers

Sliced cucumbers, enough sour cream to coat them, a little salt and pepper, and a little fresh dill.  Mix and let set in the fridge for a bit.

Shrimp, Broccoli, and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta

Shrimp, broccoli and sun-dried tomato pasta.  This is a recent repeat, but I made it following the recipe this time.  Soo good.  I love this.  It’s definitely in the top five for the year so far.

Shrimp and White Bean Salad

Herbed shrimp and white bean salad, and corn bread muffins.  It’s amazing this turned out even halfway good.  I didn’t read the recipe other than glance over the ingredients.  I forgot some key ingredients and did things in the wrong order.  But it was still really really good.  I bet it’s even better if you actually read the directions.  The corn bread muffins seem random.  I was really wanting something junkfood-ish earlier today, and that was the best we had on-hand.  Smother them in enough butter and it’ll do the job.

Halibut w/ Leeks

Halibut with leeks, zucchini and summer squash, and a garden salad.  I should have read this recipe all the way through.  For one, I bought tilapia instead of halibut.  Two, I didn’t have tarragon vinegar, and three, I didn’t realize it called for raisins.  I did have leeks though.  And luckily I did have raisins on had.  This was a good fish recipe.  I wasn’t expecting much and I was pleasantly surprised.
