Curry chickpeas using a vegetarian base instead of chicken since Emily was eating

We had grilled okra and chipotle sauce. We also had grilled salmon burgers and hamburgers but that's not too interesting.
Emily and Victor are visiting and we think we added them as okra converts

We made our regular grilled shrimp with Montreal Chicken Seasoning.
We also tried pesto-grilled zucchini. We sliced it and then marinated it in pest and lemon juice. I then grilled it for about 5 min per side. I thought it was pretty good, though I didn't really taste the pesto as much as the lemon. And it needed more salt. But it was different and new.

I made Juicy Lucy turkey burgers using the same recipe as before. They call for 4 oz of cheese for 4 oz of meat and that is insane. I used 1-2/3 lbs of lean turkey to make 5 x 1/3 lbs burgers. I used mini snack blocks of cheddar (I think 3/4 oz?) and that worked really well. No leaks, easy to form, and it held together really well!
I also grilled broccoli for about 8 minutes. I just tossed them with oil and then salted them on the grill.

We made Chicken Tawook. We used about 3 lbs of chicken tenders but, unlike last time, cut up again (we prefer the better flavor and texture of it when it's cubed). The only real note on the marinade is we were out of lemons so we used lime. It marinated for about 28 hours.
I need to try to get it to stick less to the grill. Other than that, it was really good as usual!
Meredith also made Smacked Cucumbers using a homegrown cucumber!

Quiche with broccolini, caramelized red onion, and unexpected cheddar.
Meredith reduced the liquid milk and cream to be about a total of 1 to 1.25 cups since she always had leftovers. This has been noted in the recipe. Meredith also crimped the crust which made it hold a bit better.
We really liked the combination! It worked well and even Caroline ate a good bit of it.

Meredith made a zucchini casserole/strata from The Kitchn (LOCAL). We used fresh bread and didn't even try to toast it.
For the bacon, I baked it and then sliced it rather than crumbling it. Honestly, while you could taste it in there, it wasn't a major flavor and we could probably skip the bacon next time if we wanted.
Meredith used Unexpected Cheddar from Trader Joes instead of parmesan cheese (and likely less of it).
Otherwise, we liked it a lot. Caroline wouldn't eat the zucchini but ate it otherwise

I made grilled lettuce with the basic idea of Pan-Seared Gem Lettuce. I just brushed butter on the bottom and grilled it. We were out of lemon so it was just butter, salt, and pepper.
They were actually pretty good. I mean, it mostly tasted like the grill but still not bad.
We also had hot dogs and hamburgers on leftover Hawaiian Rolls
