Happy Weekend!

Hey all!
It's Friday and I know everyone is looking forward to a fun filled and hopefully relaxing weekend! The weather here today is again beautiful. We have had some incredible weather lately! Sunny and low 70's, low humidity!
Yesterday, I spent the day in Westchester having lunch with the folks. We had lunch at a cute little beach restuarant named Sea Side Johnnies in Rye, NY. The weather and food were great. I had a Philadelphia Roll (Smoked salmon, cream cheese and avocado) that was very tasty.
Today was a day of chores, topped off by a nice afternoon stroll on the beach and a delicious dinner. We had Barbequed Turkey Breast (with a peach ginger glaze), homemade saffron rice and my famous sauteed zucchini and tomato salad.
The peach and ginger glaze really made the turkey breats zesty. I used sugar free peach preserves, ginger, Worcesteshire sauce, and thyme.
I have never made saffron rice and it came out great. I used an Organic Chicken Free Broth. I sauteed onions and rice with olive oil first and then added the broth, saffron, salt and pepper. I was a great addition to the Turkey.
Finally, the sauteed zucchini with tomatoes is one of my specialties. I take the zucchini and slice it up, sautee it in olive oil with oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. After the zucchini is browned, I put it in a pyrex dish, with a can of diced tomatoes, a can of stewed tomatoes (yes canned, Rachel Ray would love me!!) and top it with some slices of mozzarella cheese. I broil in in the oven for 15 minutes until the cheese starts to brown.
Put that together with a nice glass of Riesling and I am off to a great night!
If any of this sounds good, let me know if you want any of the recipes!
It's time for a movie. Tonight's showing is Before the Devil Knows You are Dead. I have heard mixed reviews. So I will let you know if it's worth the rental.
Have a great weekend!
