Menu Plan for the week of July 19, 2013:  Sunday's Recipes

Inside-Out Burgers
Quinoa and Lentil Salad
Fresh Peach and Berry Salad

Cooking time:  20 minutes for menu      Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

      We normally don't eat buns with our burgers - mainly because it's too much food and We'd rather have more burger.  But I like tomato and cheese on it..... Or in it. These work best with a basket as they don't stay together well.  Or just be careful. This uses half of a 4oz (120gr) ball of Mozzarella. Use the other half on Tuesday.

Inside-Out Burgers

Total time: 20 minutes
    The cheese and tomato are on the inside.  The cheese melts (barely) but the tomato stays firm.  Serve with or without buns.

Quinoa Pilaf and Lentil Salad

Total time: 5 minutes    30 minutes if cooking lentils and quinoa 
    I always try to cook rice, grains, beans etc. ahead in the summer so it's a quick dinner to mix them together and add a bit of vinaigrette for a healthy salad to go with something from the grill.

Fresh Peach and Berry Salad

Total time: 10 minutes
   Summer fruits are at their peak.  I used white peaches and fresh strawberries. ( My strawberries are the ever-bearing variety.)  Use whatever peaches and/or nectarines and berries are in season.  A bit of sugar, vanilla and Greek Yogurt finishes off this salad.  You could also add a bit of fresh mint or a tot of rum.....
