    A made-up stuffed zucchini dish I had for lunch today.

    Filling is zucchini innards, mushrooms, onions, garlic, tomatoes, chicken breast, feta, mozzarella, and oregano. about 300 cals for half a zucchini! :)

    Chicken Tagine with Dates & Yogurt
    Served over quinoa (instead of couscous) with pan-roasted Brussel sprouts.

    My veggie delivery service sent some dates, which I'd never used in anything but cookies or bars. So I went looking for something to cook with dates. This Moroccan dish has an amazing spice blend including paprika, cumin, ginger, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and a bunch of lemon zest. This was something entirely different than I'm accustomed to cooking - both the method and the seasonings - but it was amazing!

    Nikki, that zucchini looks awesome. Jen, I forgot that we had made that same cod. We really liked it a lot. It's on my make again list.

    Kale chips. You really can't tell, but they actually were crunchy and surprisingly addictive. I stored the leftovers in a zip-lock, though, and they went limp on me. The baby loved these, but I think that was mostly the salty seasoning. But, hey, that's why I liked them, too. They do cause you to be wicked bad smelly, though. Or maybe that was just me.

    Mac and cheese muffins for the kiddo. They have beef, broccoli, and carrots. I added ricotta to help them be a little more moist, but they are still a bit dry to me. I need to mess with them and make them a little more creamy. Recipe posted on www.dustwithflour.com .

    Wedding cake trial run. I baked all of the lemon cakes today. The real cake gets cut, brushed with a fresh lemon syrup, then spread with fresh lemon curd and blackberries (it also calls for raspberries, but I'm leaving them out), then the whole thing is frosted in a lemon meringue buttercream. I am planning on covering that in fondant. We'll see how it holds up since the filling needs refrigeration.

    For this trial run, I just used the cakes. I haven't made the syrup or the curd yet, I just made the cakes ahead so I could freeze them. To test it out, I skipped the syrup and used a store bought lemon curd, fresh blackberries, and just covered the whole mess in cool whip. I have never bought jarred lemon curd before and I never will again. I have only ever made it fresh and it is just a whole different product. I bought a decent brand and it was disgusting. At least I can say I like the cake and the berries together. And I know what my lemon curd tastes like, so I think it will be a good mix. I managed to wolf down a piece even with the skunky lemon curd on it. :D

    Sweet Sesame Mahi-Mahi

    Found at allrecipes.com: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sweet-sesame-mahi-mahi/detail.aspx
    Served with brown rice and (overly) wilted spinach.

    The recipe was... ok. It sounds more exciting that it was. The lime juice was too sour with my already-tart pineapple. If my pineapple was quite sweet, the lime juice might have worked better, but I'm thinking it's not at all necessary. The sesame-seed treatment was pretty darned good though. Overall it's a quick, fresh, fun, light dish.
