I hope everyone is having a great time this Memorial Day weekend. It feels like summer has begun! A lot of pools are opening and people are grilling and spending time outside with friends and family. I wanted to share my first summer food discovery : Jicima Watermelon Salad. It is so colorful and sweet. It brightens any plate and just exudes summer! Jicima is a new discovery for me. It reminds me of water chesnuts but is a little sweeter and is in a lot of Mexican dishes. I like to cut it up into small sticks and put it on my son's plate at mealtime. He eats it up.
About This Week's Menu
This week's menu focuses on American Classics. On Sunday we're having Pork Chops and Potatoes, and Green Salad. On Monday we're having Turkey Burgers, Jicima Watermelon Salad, Corn and Cherry Cobbler. It would be a great meal to cook on the grill. I wanted to make something that has cherries in it because this week is Cherry Week in the Gluten Free Menu Swap and I figured that Cherry Cobbler is much easier than pie. I'm going to try Emeril Lagasse's recipe, *but I'll change the flour to an all-purpose gluten-free flour. Tuesday Night we're having Homemade Hamburger Helper. Wednesday is soup and salad night with a Chef Salad and Potato Soup. Thursday Night is kind of like a good old Kentucky Fried Chicken night, except without the fried, without the skin, and without the wheat flour. Baked Fried Chicken, Potato Salad and Coleslaw are on the menu. On Friday I'm going to make a southern favorite, catfish, but with a twist. I'm going to try an Almond Crusted Catfish. We enjoyed the Almond Crusted Salmon so much and I'm thinking it will be just as successful with catfish.
