Sunday Supper is back! (And this time, with a theme)

So, yes it’s a Sunday Supper on a Monday. But it’s worth the wait, because this one comes with a theme! And the theme is… watermelon!

(a little) Sunday Supper

Sunday Suppers have fallen by the way side lately… but I’ve recommitted to bringing you guys the full shenanigans… soon. Until then, here’s a fantastic little recipe from Jamie Oliver (of course.) I’m not usually a tomatoes + fish fan, but this dish was delicious, and healthy, too! We adapted one of Jamie’s 20 Minute Meals from his iPhone app (our go-to app for simple, delicious weeknight meals), and used Trout instead of Cod to create a riff off of Jamie’s Spicy Cod with Lemon Zucchini Couscous. We paired it with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc to spend another perfect evening in the back yard. It’s very simple really – just cook your couscous, then slice zucchini with a veggie peeler and cover the zucchini and the cooked couscous with saran wrap so the zucchini steams. Then cook your fish in a can of crushed tomatoes, adding spices as you see fit. Squeeze a lemon onto your couscous and zucchini, adding a bit of lemon zest for kick.  Using a large spoon, place the fish + tomatoes on top of the couscous, and garnish with cilantro. So good, and so good for you!

Another Sunday Supper on the grill. I’m loving the gorgeous spring weather we’re having! Crossing my fingers that the fog will stay away for a long, long time. (Personally, I’m fine with never.)

TO EAT: This is a half Jamie Oliver/half us recipe, and of course I’ve lost the Jamie Oliver part. But anytime Chow Mein noodles are involved, I’m game.

A very special Easter Sunday Supper

Last Sunday was Easter, and so it was a very special Sunday Supper indeed! My parents were out all the way from Missouri, so we attempted to show them a good time, with varying degrees of success 🙂

Sunday Suppers

TO EAT: Kirk and I love Bahn Mi. There’s this place in the Tenderloin we used to go when we lived in the city called Saigon Sandwiches who have the best Bahn Mi known to man. The ones we make at home are almost (but not quite) as good. Bahn Mi, for those of you who don’t know, are Vietnamese Sandwiches – they usually consist of Pork or Chicken Meatballs, a carrot and daikon slaw, a spicy mayo, cilantro and jalepeno peppers.
