I wrote this list, and now realize I'm in the mood for yam. I still have a bunch of rosemary from last week, so I chose more fall flavors to accompany it.
Not sure yet how I'll make the fish- it depends on what kind of fish looks good at the market/store. Mash yams are so tasty and easy- just poke a few holes, wrap in a paper towel, and microwave for 2 minutes at a time until it's the right consistency for mashing. Then add something if you want- chicken broth will make them creamy, in lieu of butter; a little brown sugar and amaretto makes for a dessert of a side dish; I think I may add a little toasted sesame oil for a different flavor combination.
The pita chicken is a great recipe I've found that is quick, crispy, and frankly even better than the fried tender variety.
Dad's specialty is falafel, so that's on the calendar for his night. And the lentil/barley burger recipe I found looks awfully good; I have a bunch of farro left from risotto last week, so I'll throw that in too.
