What are you Cooking the Week of August 18, 2024?

[Mike Nolan]

My wife heads back to work tomorrow to get ready for the fall semester at UNL. Where did the summer go??

Rainy afternoon here, I was hoping to do an eye-of-round roast outside, might have to do it inside.

I had a turkey club sandwich and chips.

We've had rain, off and on, with pop up showers throughout today. Humidity makes it seem hotter than it is.

On Saturday, I found some wonderful peaches from Michigan at the farmers market, so I bought a bag of thirteen for $12. It was the same vendor from whom I had bought the blueberries a few weeks ago, so I trusted the peaches would be good, and they are. On Sunday afternoon, I use seven to make peach jam, which I canned, for a total of four 8 oz. jars and one 4 oz. jar. I will either bake or just eat the other peaches, but I like to have at least one batch of peach jam, and we do not always get good peaches at the farmers market.

For dinner, I used the rest of the roast chicken (the breast meat) to make chicken salad for open face sandwiches on the Icelandic Rye Bread I baked this morning.

I did do the eye of round indoors and we had it for dinner with a salad. One of those meals where I miss mashed potatoes. :sigh:

Tomato and tuna fish for supper tonight, the cat will be happy. 🙂

[Joan Simpson]

I had chicken Caesar salad with a ear of corn.

We re-ran last night's dinner of chicken salad on Icelandic Rye Bread.

[RiversideLen]

I had a hamburger, salad and an ear of corn.

I made flatbread pizza with sausage and pineapple. Tonight will be steak salad. On a side note I finally found a successful way to store cilantro. I washed and dried it and put it in a container with a damp paper towel on the bottom and a damp paper towel on top . I sealed the container (glass) and it is still fresh 4 days later. I had tried other techniques and they didn't work!

We're doing something with the eye of round tonight, probably either on a salad or in sandwiches.

Today I made a big batch of tomato sauce, using tomatoes from the garden. I also put in chopped green onions, green peppers, celery, and zucchini. I added hot Italian sausage (ground and cooked) to some of it which we will have, along with a salad, on penne for dinner.

Navlys--thanks for the Cilantro hint! My husband does not like it (his family members seem to carry the gene that makes it taste to them like soap), but it would be nice to add some to food that only I am going to eat.

My elder bonus son is visiting for a week. For dinner, I made Spaghetti Squash Turkey Lasagna. I needed to use up a pound of mushrooms, so I added double the usual amount. I also sauteed red bell pepper, celery, and kale to go into the sauce. I did not have enough of our tomatoes to make sauce yet (am savoring those that I do for turkey bacon and tomato sandwiches!), so I used a large can of fire-roasted chopped tomatoes and a smaller can of plain chopped ones, to which I added minced garlic and dried onion. Given the amount of extra vegetables, I used an Emile Henry 9 ½ x 12 1/2-inch casserole dish that is 3-inches deep. We enjoyed it with an ear of sweet corn each, that we bought this morning from our favorite local place.

I also made yogurt today, a regular project that was delayed for three days because I had so much else to do.

[Joan Simpson]

I had fried bacon, steamed squash with onions and a baked potato.

I had a big salad with some of the eye of round on it. Diane had some salami and cheese.
