weekend food

(blender is broken)

lately weekends around here have been "clean out the fridge" fests.  it's a challenge to see what we can come up with.  smoothies are a great option.  dump it in & push blend, that's my motto :)

i'm not sure making ricotta totally qualifies as cleaning out the fridge (cleaning out the herb garden?!), but sunday when we got back from the nursery (more gardening this week!!), i declared it time for clint to make his amazing herbed ricotta. 

& he did. 

& then i ate it like the famished, child-wielding gardener that i was.

this is my favorite way to eat it...

you'll probably not be surprised that i grill this on my good old george forman, but of course you can use your fancy-shmancy grill pan if you must.  just use something heavy, like a pot on top to press.

mmmm.  it was a good food weekend.

& here's to another monday, folks.
