What are you Cooking the Week of August 24, 2025?

[Mike Nolan]

No plans here yet, the heat spell seems to have broken, though, it was in the lower 60's this morning, and the high for the next several days is in the mid 70's.

I'll be doing more tomato relish this week.

Spread the word

I bought roasted chicken from the grocery store yesterday and made mashed potatoes and green beans.
Tonight will be leftover chicken and potato and sugar snap peas.

For Sunday dinner, I roasted salmon coated with pecan meal, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and a bit of Panko. I also roasted potato chunks tossed in olive oil in the smaller oven. We had it with more of the green bean salad.

Today I had collards with cornbread and bacon with a slice of onion.

We had sandwiches on the new rolls. The hard rolls look a lot like the ones I had in NYC years ago, this is the first time I've made any that were just shaped as small hard rolls.

I warmed one up a little and had it with some Brummel & Brown margarine, it went well with the Beaujolais-Villages wine I'm drinking this evening.

The rolls I had in NYC so many years ago were on Beaujolais Nouveau Day, so this seemed like a good paring for tonight.

I made a chicken Caesar pasta salad - yum

For Monday night's dinner, I made pecan-coated boneless pork chops, and a stir-fry of brown and wild rice (cooked in the rice cooker in turkey broth from the freezer), with green onions, mushrooms, and yellow zucchini.

I had sloppy joes.

Today I had a salad with a hamburger patty.

[Mike Nolan]

I picked about 15 pounds of tomatoes today, plus ones from over the weekend, so I'll be starting a batch of tomato relish soon.

[Mike Nolan]

Some of the bigger tomatoes are finally getting ripe, so we had tuna fish salad in a tomato tonight.

[BakerAunt]

We had the leftover pork chops and vegetable stir-fry for dinner on Tuesday.

[Joan Simpson]

I had hamburger steak with baked sweet potato and mushrooms with onions, ate half so it's leftovers for tomorrow night.

That is yummy, Joan! I like those meals that go another night.

Our dinner on Wednesday was the last two pork chops, the rest of the zucchini stir-fry, and a new stir-fry of brown and wild rice (from the earlier batch of rice) that I added to sauteed red bell pepper and green onion, then broccoli florets and a cup of chicken broth (Penzey's chicken base, as I did not have a small amount available). There is enough of the stir-fry to have with tomorrow's dinner.

Sandwiches on Banh Mi bread again tonight. That's really GOOD bread for sandwiches!
