Good week so far...

This week every meal so far has been a hit, I had some vegetable skewers made up for James and the girls when I went out for dinner on Tuesday night, they were a hit, (no recipe for these as I make it up as I go along), although the basic concept is a little oil, a little agave syrup, some kind of juice (lemon or lime), some mustard a dash of a gourmet honey lime sauce and this time I added a little pineapple juice, and a mix of vegetables (mushrooms, peppers, onions).  Now I did cheat a little this meal and did the rice on the stove top, although in my defense I could have used the grill burner, but as I don't have a hand timer yet, so much easier to do it inside.

So last night we had oh these delightful chipotle-corn turkey burgers, I have a love hate relationship with turkey burgers and ground turkey, some cases I've had hits, other cases I've found them to be a bit on the dry side.  These ones were some of the best I've made!  I was a little worried about the chipotle for the girls so I substituted bbq in their burgers, I shouldn't have worried as they were not that bad so I think next time I will save myself the extra step.  The whole flavor was just outstanding.

Now given I have corn left from last night's dinner (I did plan on this!), I'm making grilled pork chops and poblano-and-corn relish which I'm looking forward to, specially as some of the work is already done for me.  I have some extra veggies for the grill as well either way oh yum!
