Sunday Supper

Well, earlier today I commented to my husband that I would try to blog about things of a spiritual nature on Sundays, and I still may do so this evening, if I don't run out of steam, but I had to get this little gem up.  I really do love Rachael Ray and I have complete success with her recipes on a continual basis.  If you look up the recipe on the link provided, you will gasp with delight, as I did, of course, at how much my effort actually resembles the magazine photo - hee!

http://www.rachaelraymag.com/recipe/grilled-chicken-cutlets-with-zucchini-corn-and-cherry-tomato-sauce/

*My only changes were:*
Subbed 1 tsp. of dried thyme for the fresh, as I couldn't get my hands on any fresh this weekend
Used only 2 chicken breasts, as was only my husband & I home this evening (and 1 invited guest that couldn't make it - you missed a gooder Lindsay!)
Subbed some romaine lettuce for some of the arugula, as I was short & also tossed the greens in a wee bit of vinaigrette, that I had on hand, before topping with chicken & zucchini-corn sauce
Used fresh parmesan cheese and made no effort to find the pecorino pepato (I would have loved to, as sourcing interesting ingredients is one of my fave things to do & I bet my friends at Valoroso Foods in Kelowna, BC would have provided, if I had made it there...)

This was a near "spiritual" experience.  I would have to confess to "near."  I am not the swearing type but expressed my own type of frustration when "lightly browning" the corn.  I guess my pan got a wee bit too hot & I soon had popcorn.  I didn't know that corn would actually do that!  On the floor, on the wall, inside the gas burners - yuck!! All that aside, this dish is soooo delicious.  Much credit goes, once again, to the good folks at the Kelowna Farmer's Market.  The corn, cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, zucchini, scallions, & chile pepper, all came from there!  It came quickly to mind as we blessed our food, the sheer abundance & quality of ingredients available to us here.  Especially in these summer through fall months, there is simply no reason not to eat well.

*Couldn't resist putting in a little pic of dessert!! Also from Kelowna Farmer's Market - I didn't even know they could grow cantaloupe here, but are we ever glad they can - amazing!!*

So...Reg on Sunday Supper...summation would be:  simple satisfaction.  A delight to cook & delish (Rachaelism) to eat!!
