Southern Ontario Meal Plan � First Week of Summer!
�Just the smell of summer can make me fall in love.�� (Thank you Modest Mouse).� Well, Summer is today!� And I�m happy to report that here in Southern Ontario it feels like Summer!� Yesterday I was shoeless for much of the day, as were the boys.� My younger assistant was also diaper-less for much of the day, as we are hoping he can get more consistent with his use of the potty (don�t worry, he stays mostly in the backyard).
One meal last week that was really great was the Black Bean Burgers from the From Scratch Club. �We had them with homemade English Muffins and I think I�m hooked! �I can�t go back to any other bun except maybe ciabatta. �Homemade English Muffins are amazing! �I�ll post the recipe this week (but in the meantime it�s from Joy of Cooking!). �As a side we fried scallions and radishes (that were picked that morning) with a few local peanuts. �Yes I used a lot of butter but even without a ton of butter these would have been awesome! �Thanks to Well Preserved for the advice on peanuts and radishes.
For dinner this week I�m especially excited to try Flour and Spice�s Dahi Baray � Lentil Dumplings in a Spicy Tangy Yogurt.� I�m also very happy to have been nominated for the Liebster Award by Sarah from Flour and Spice, thank you!� I will continue the Liebster process in a few days.

So glad to hear that summer is in the air for you all. It�s cool and windy here in the NW.
Since Lane won�t eat the beet salad, I decided to put some of the leftovers in my omlet last pm (Thursdays are egg night for us). I warmed it a bit, added the feta cheese and walnuts & it was delicious!

Hi Barb,
Ooh, sorry you�re still in the cold!
And I�m glad you found a good use for your leftover beet salad, sounds like it would make for a great omelette. Lane�s missing out!
