Highland Grill
Sep 25th
We went to Highland Grill for a Father’s Day treat. I got the Huevos Rancheros (charred corn, peppers, mushrooms, onions- all scrambled in three eggs with white cheddar and spices. Served with seasoned hash browns, housemade vegetarian chili, crispy tortilla and lime sour cream) hello… twas awesome. Molly got the Walleye Burrito (grilled flour tortilla jam-packed with beer battered walleye, iceberg lettuce, garlic aioli, tartar sauce, roma tomatoes and Tillamook Cheddar… and fries- it was a special. It too was heavenly. There are several great options that we would like to try. Like the Squash & Mushroom Risotto, Eggplant Parmesan, Vegetarian Chili Mac, tons of great salads and what looks like a complete breakfast menu. This is going to be a new favorite stop for us.
The kids got pancakes and mac and cheese. Both we awesome and kids inhaled them- always a good sign.
Whole Grains Challenge
Sep 2nd
A while ago I signed up for the RealAge newsletter. They sent out this great article about fairly uncommon whole grains and their cancer prevention benefits. It is a new family goal to come up with a favorite family recipe that has each of these grains as a main ingredient: kasha (buckwheat), quinoa, millet, and spelt.
We already have a favorite summer salad with bulgar, feta, grapes, walnuts… but we are waiting for grapes to be in season (or at least cheaper). We will share that recipe soon, but as for these other four grains- we either have never tried them (millet and spelt) or haven’t found a favorite family recipe yet.
A new mission! We accept the challenge.
Does anyone have a good recipe with millet of spelt?
