Meredith made an Enchilada Skillet from Ambitious Kitchen (LOCAL)
She followed the basic recipe with a few minor notes:
It was really good. We both really enjoyed it and even Caroline ate some (she basically had some sour cream and then fat-free greek yogurt with a bit of this).
I was thinking while eating it that Emily would really like this. Then Meredith pointed out that she found it from Emily's Pinterest board!

Meredith made Pasta Salad with Roasted Peppers, Tuna, and Oregano Vinaigrette.
She used Banza Chickpea pasta instead of regular. Since the box of Banza is only 1/2 lbs equivalent, she halved the recipe except the tuna (essentially doubling tuna). It worked really well doubled! It was nice having more there and upped the protein. She also used green onion and "maybe" went heavy on the red pepper

I made Shrimp and Corn Fritters from Ottolenghi Simple. I followed the general recipe with a bit more shrimp and then heavy on the spices. I also used only one lime since I didn't want it to be too much. Also, I used roasted corn from Trader Joes.
The only real change was that I baked them on a tray for about 15 minutes at 400.
They weren't bad but they also weren't the kind of thing we would rush to do again. And Caroline downright did not want to eat them!
They also let out an odd liquid. I didn't thing shrimp were very fatty but there was a lot on the tray. See this photo(full-size)
Meredith also made green beans from the Gaby Dalkin recipe but only use 2 tsp and it was fine. We added this note to the recipe. They were really good again and also smelled really good!

Meredith made this from What's Gaby Cooking (LOCAL). The biggest note is that Meredith used green beans in place of peas.
Cooking the gnocchi like this (hybrid boil + pan) not only gave it a really good texture, but the gnocchi absorbed so much flavor. We will have to experiment with this method including with additional flavors!
We liked the overall dish though Caroline wasn't super into it (too green!)

Meredith made a Spicy Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette. Her notes:
I mixed up a quick batch of our cilantro green sauce, mixed a big spoonful with some lime juice and a bit more olive oil, and have a pretty tasty salad.
She also used some leftover salmon

We made chicken Caesar salad. I grilled the chicken yesterday and Meredith prepped SkinnyTaste's Caesar Dressing. The dressing was super lemony when eaten alone but was actually fine in the salads.
We served the salad with tomatoes and hard-"boiled" eggs (in mine). I also put some French's (like) onions.
It was a nice, easy and healthy lunch.

We made salmon tacos. I grilled salmon following the method of seared salmon except on the grill. I did mine and Meredith's with salt, cayenne, and smoked paprika. I did Caroline's with just salt.
At the same time, I grilled veggies in the basket. We tried something different. The tomatoes went right in the basket but the onion (smaller chunks than usual) and the corn were in open foil packets. It worked okay for the onions and corn but it was also hard to stir the tomatoes. Honestly, I think it would have all been fine in the basket.
Meredith also made Spring Peas and Prosciutto
I also grilled chicken for tomorrow's lunch
