This Week's Ingredients:

Hello one and all! Welcome back to another week out Out Of The Culinary. Once again, we're starting the week off by listing the ingredients we will be using in all of the recipes this week. This week's ingredients are:

1 Papaya
1 Lemon
7 oz. Strawberries
7 oz. Pineapple
Prosciutto
1 lb. Ground Hamburger (93/7)
2 X 14 oz. Cans Diced Tomatoes
1 lb. Ziti Pasta
1 lb. Spaghetti
Basil
1 Onion
1 Garlic
Mozzarella Cheese
Parmesan Cheese

That's what we're cooking with this week. Stay tuned for the specific recipes. I'm up tomorrow, followed by Maggie - and then I close out the week.

A few site notes - If you haven't already done so, be sure to scroll down and leave your favorite homemade pancake recipe in the comments section of Sunday's post. With the holiday weekend, site traffic was down a little. But, now that we're back to a normal schedule -we should see our normal traffic. (I.E. more people to leave more recipes! Be sure to share! You can even leave an anonymus comment if you like!)  Once again, if we receive enough responses - we will post our favorites in an upcoming blog.

Secondly, our voting for "what to do on Mondays" has closed...and it was a tie. (I know, anti-climatic right?) A feature vegetable / food item tied with the grocery list with the upcoming ingredients. So - we're going to rotate between the two until we find a good fit. On weeks that we use a key item in all the recipes - we will feature it. Other weeks, we will continue to do what we've done these past two weeks.

That's all we have for you today. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the first recipe of the week. Until then -

~Cheers
