Weekly Shopping List: Summer Produce and Grilling

In grocery stores this week we've got great deals on peppers, peaches, onions ($.50/lb!), broccoli, and mahi mahi fillets so I'm maximizing on those deals and doing most of my cooking NOT in the oven or stovetop since we've got temps in the hundreds this week.

SUMMER PRODUCE & GRILLING

Produce:

lemons (1)

fresh bay leaves (2 leaves)

fresh rosemary (2 sprigs)

parsley (1 bunch)

garlic cloves (1 head)

broccoli (1 head)

cherry or grape tomatoes (1 pint)

red onion (2)

peach or nectarine (1)

choice of red/yellow/orange/green bell pepper (1)

Bulk:

¼ tsp paprika

½ c quinoa

¼ c kalamata or green olives

Canned Goods:

1 can chickpeas

red wine vinegar (1 T/small bottle)

balsamic vinegar (2 T/small bottle)

Meat:

whole rotisserie chicken (or self-roasted, if preferred & needed)

1 link sausage (flavor as desired)

12-16 oz mahi mahi fillet

We're doing Rotisserie Chicken with Grilled Sausage, Peaches & Peppers, Charred Broccoli & Red Onion Salad with Toasted Quinoa and Mahi Fillet with Chickpea Puree and Parsley Sauce.. 

For those (like me) that aren't too keen on a lot of meat during the summer, you could omit the chicken. For the menfolk that need a little more bulk to their meals or anyone else that needs the filling to their plate, rotisserie chicken is easy and cheap option (shout out to Costco!) to use throughout the week.

You can also self-roast a whole fryer with herbs if preferred.
