Then I thought about summer and how I&#8217;d like to try some new things, have a good schedule of foods to give me a framework to start with, and not make my kitchen hot as all get out by running the oven.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to do.  First,  I&#8217;m going to have a schedule for what we eat on a specific day.  <\/p>\n<p>For instance:  <\/p>\n<p>Mondays:  Fish<br \/>\nTuesday:  Stir Fry or Panini<br \/>\nWednesday:  Main Course Salad<br \/>\nThursday:  Breakfast for dinner<br \/>\nFriday:  Italian<br \/>\nSaturday:  Something from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Perfect-One-Dish-Dinners-Need-Get-Togethers\/dp\/0547195958\/ref=pd_sim_b_5\">this cookbook<\/a>.  (This will also provide leftover for Sunday lunch.)<br \/>\nSunday (night):  BLT&#8217;s (Barlow tradition)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to try lots of new things in these categories.  For instance, I&#8217;ll be trying new <a href=\"http:\/\/threemanycooks.com\/conversations\/build-your-own-bean-and-grain-salads\/\">bean and grain<\/a> salads for salad night.  I&#8217;ll be serving pasta dishes we&#8217;ve never eaten before and new bruschetta recipes, like this one for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterbean.com\/artichoke-basil-bruschetta\/\">artichoke basil bruschetta<\/a> and this one for <a href=\"http:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/2011\/05\/leeks-toasts-with-blue-cheese\/\">leek toasts with blue cheese<\/a> on Italian night.  I want to serve fish at least once a week.  So, this means that we&#8217;ll be having fish tacos and po&#8217;boys, of course, but we&#8217;ll also try some other quick cooking recipes, too.  And, I&#8217;m going to be trying one recipe per week from Pam Anderson&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Perfect-One-Dish-Dinners-Need-Get-Togethers\/dp\/0547195958\/ref=pd_sim_b_5\">Perfect One Dish Dinners<\/a> cookbook.  Everything that I&#8217;ve made so far from this book has been great.  The recipes are easy and make enough for Sunday lunch leftovers and that is a sure way to make my Sunday happy.<\/p>\n<p>So, that&#8217;s it.  Of course, you know that if I run across something wonderful that I&#8217;ll be sure to let you know.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s to trying new things&#8230;here&#8217;s to summer cooking!<\/p>\n<p>Happy Sunday, y&#8217;all!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer Food Ideas A few weeks ago, I asked y&#8217;all for ideas for summer foods and y&#8217;all had some great ones.
