Hubby had duty today from 8:30am-3:00pm. DD cleaned her room (leftover bits and bobs that didn't quite get picked up yesterday) and finished on her dad's card this morning.Me, I had worship music on (cable TV radio channel) keeping me company in the kitchen. I had some things that just needed to get done! We got our organics produce delivery on Friday so the bottom of our fridge has been overrun by GREENERY!! I'm trying to get a handle on it, knowing that if I don't take the time to prep it, most likely it won't get eaten.

This morning I made a cauliflower/broccoli salad (it was yummy at dinner this evening after the creamy goodness had time to really sink in to everything), I prepped the rest of the cauliflower and broccoli into manageable pieces, cut celery for eating, and cut up the big ol' head of romaine lettuce. Our guinea pigs got the scraps, they just love lettuce!   Also this morning I made an Asian cucumber/cilantro/vidalia salad recipe I found online -- it was scrumptious!  Also got the last 4 cups of homemade granola made into granola bars. I'll need to make another batch of granola this week. (*note to self*)

I had hoped to get some  zucchini breads or muffins made, too, but that never quite happened. Maybe tomorrow. I had also planned to repurpose some leftover vegetable rotini pasta into a pasta salad, but that didn't happen either, yet.

 
For dinner I made Body For Life's recipe (in Eating For Life cookbook)  Asian noodle stir-fry (just vermicelli pasta with stir-fried celery, onion and cabbage & garlic on it) with spring rolls. You can see a YouTube video of this recipe over here. I usually make it without any of the beef that the recipe calls for.  Today, however, I used some seitan I had in the fridge and it was also delicious that way! (The seitan I happened to have already made, and used in this recipe is Lachesis' Seitan Recipe of Greatness, but next time I think I'd prefer a regular baked beef-flavored seitan for this particular stir-fry.)

In any case, along with the stir-fry over noodles with spring rolls, we had the cauliflower-broccoli salad, the cucumber/vidalia salad, red and green grapes, and cherries.  As DH finished up the last bit on his plate he said, "This was a Father's Day meal to remember!" (Ain't he sweet!LOL)

DH got a mini-fridge for Father's Day/birthday, a pack of Monster Energy Drink , and a meat thermometer (for continued grilling expertise as his old one died), 5 packs of Taro Pancake mix (sent specially to us from a TOG friend in Hawaii-- thanks Mel!)  those were from me, and from kiddo today  he got her card, a sampler hot sauce pack from World Market, and HeartBreak Ridge movie (he's been wanting it for AGES, on DVD.)

I just checked my email and a gal on the TLT list asked for the recipe for the Cauliflower-Broccoli salad, so I'll posted it over here.
