Spinach and arugula pesto (recipe in the comments from May 27, 2008)
Sauteed mini bell peppers with balsamic
Hot tea
______________________________________________________________
It's another pesto meal. We haven't had this one in a while, even though it works fine in winter, and I think both of us have missed it. The pesto is bright green and makes for a gorgeous meal. The peppers are tri-colored and locally hot house grown so we've had them with several meals lately - yummy every time. This is a super easy dinner, fitting our Friday night criteria :)
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Everything just goes into the food processor
Time: 30 minutes
Make ahead: Make the pesto ahead and toss with fresh pasta.
Reaction
J: "Perfect pesto."
M: "MMMFRGHMMFRGH" (comment unintelligible due to full mouth!)

Friday
Warm salmon salad (recipe in the comments)
Arugula salad
Cous cous
Hot tea
Chocolate chess pie
______________________________________________________________
Mn (M's mom) came today to spend a few days with us before we leave to go house hunting in Buffalo. We were looking for something easy to do for dinner, so that we could have a festive meal, but that wouldn't take very long to prepare. This is a very simple and elegant salad. You can serve it over raw greens or along a more traditional dressed salad. It makes a WONDERFUL (shall I say, show stopping? I think I shall!) appetizer on grainy crackers. It's warm enough for a chilly spring night, but cool enough for the heat of summer. It requires almost no cooking (heating the dressing ingredients is all) and the salmon is simply drained and flaked right out of the can. Excellent food, excellent speed, excellent price! Does this remind anyone else of "the 5"? I think so!
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: Shallots
Time: 20 minutes
Make ahead: Make this as early as you want and just zap it in the microwave for a short time to warm it up again. It is best warm, not cold.
Reaction
J: "Salmon is scrumptious."
M: "Canned fish. It's not just tuna anymore."
Mn: "Yum."
