Long tall weekend

What good are long weekends for, if not cooking? Glen's mother bequeathed us a whole year of "Cooking Light" magazines and I started this weekend to go through them and rip out recipes of interest. I was in a cooking mood and decided we should stock up on leftovers so we'd have good lunches this week. Glen and I started out on Friday evening with a stirfry (veg and tofu) which came out very well with chili pepper and other seasonings not our usual since I had specified "not too sweet". On Saturday night, we made butternut squash risotto with cauliflower. We'd made the risotto several times before, but cauliflower was a new addition. This also came out well, although it made a ton, since the head of cauliflower just about doubled the bulk. Sunday, Glen made a bread from some frozen dough we had, and we made lemon-mint tuna steaks over lemon-mint barley salad for dinner, with sauteed snow peas. Neither of us were too impressed by dinner, unfortunately, so we threw out that recipe. However, while I was dealing with the fish, Glen squeezed the tangerines and grapefruits we had, making very yummy juice, and then he made me a great cocktail with the grapefruit juice and non-red-food-colored maraschino cherry juice. Today, Monday, we made an Indian chickpea stew for lunch which was great - both in taste and in ease and speed of preparation. Tonight, we're making maple-bourbon marinated chicken breast, and will have the rest of the stirfry as our side dish. If anybody is interested in recipes, just let me know.
