My Meals 7/2/10, 7/3/10, and 7/4/10

7/2/10

On Friday we had shrimp sauteed with orange and red pepper and brocolli.  We sauteed them in butter, and seasoned it with lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and green salsa verde from Sunflower Market in Phoenix.  We served the stir-fry over a fresh green salad of lettuce, radish, red onion, and left-over kale.

We also had steamed sweet potatoes mashed with fresh squeezed orange juice:

So far, practically paleo...but weekends we enjoy ourselves, and this day we had some fermented grain...I mean beer.  Lost Coast Brewery Raspberry Brown:

7/3/10

On Saturday we had grilled wild salmon.  We seasoned the salmon with salt, pepper, and achiote powder, a spice mix from the Yucatan (available in Phoenix at Sunflower Market).  We also had a salad and steamed kale with a dressing made of dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, italian herb seasoning, and a dash of salt and pepper; and guacamole made with the salsa verde, and chopped red onion.

We had a few corn and sweet potato chips with the salsa.

We drank some of Wyder's Raspberry Hard Cider; check out the label (click to enlarge).

For dessert we had a fruit mix of blackberries, peaches, and cantelope, with heavy cream and full-fat Greek yogurt on top.

7/4/10

Grilled grass-fed skirt steak marinated with olive oil, cumin, garlic, and lemon juice.  We ate it with a salad of red leaf lettuce, radishes, red onion, and olive oil.  We had Wyder's Pear Cider to drink.

For dessert we had a cream cheese cake with a pecan crust that Tracy spontaneously created. Sorry, no photos or recipe yet.
