Summer Bulk Cooking - Week 1

The theme of this week (and this month) is COLOR!

I am totally in a summer mood, even though Seattle is having some crummy weather today.

Tip for you: overbuy blueberries, cherries, and grapes. I definitely dipped into these as I was cooking this week! I have some leftover celery sticks to munch on this week, too. Spreading out the greens and produce cleaning helped the prep seem much less daunting, and I ended up breaking the bulk cooking into two days. However, this session was so easy and involved such minimal cooking that I kind of doubt it took 5 hours. Maybe it was that long, but it didn't seem that way.

The only item I couldn't find this week was the miso dijonaise. I asked at a couple different stores (PCC and Whole Foods) with no luck. However, I have plenty of mayo left still and I just bought some dijon mustard, so it should be ok.

Here are some pictures for you. I'll try to post more during the week because the combinations should be really colorful and yummy looking. Check it:

Ummm....

Sorry, we are having technical issues inserting pictures. Autosave is taking longer and I'm getting a werid error code: bX-rmpo7m, so we'll hope this is resolved soon because everythihg looks really, really good!
