What are you Cooking the Week of February 16, 2025?

Nothing fancy planned here, mostly using up leftovers.

I made chicken salad with rotisserie chicken and had that with crackers.

We're having chili from the freezer.

I made stromboli and tomato soup, using frozen tomatoes from last summer's garden.

I had more of the black-eyed peas with brown rice and ham that I made last week. My husband did not eat dinner, as he had a very bad vertigo attack. There have been too many fluctuations in the barometer.

I made a pork chop, rice and brussels sprouts.

I soaked 2 cups of black beans overnight, then used them to make Black Bean and Pumpkin soup on Monday. I froze three servings and left two servings for lunches. As my husband has a problem with black beans, onions, and assertive spices (cumin in this case), the soup is for me. I cut the cumin from 1 Tbs. to 1 tsp., which is plenty for me.

For dinner tonight, I will have some of the spaghetti squash casserole. My husband thinks he has recovered enough to have sone of the black-eyed peas with brown rice and ham.

[Joan Simpson]

BA glad to hear your husband is better. Tonight I had a BLT and yogurt.

Yesterday I made a crispy chicken and broccoli salad, a recipe I got from Southern Living, but it turns out is no longer on their website. The base is broccoli, red onion, halved grapes, toasted sliced almonds and grated cheddar tossed in a cider vinegar vinaigrette - I didn't have honey so I used maple syrup. I let it sit in the fridge most of the day (recipe says 2 hours or overnight). I cheated and bought a bag of Perdue breaded tenders on sale and each night I bake two of them in the toaster oven to chop over the salad. The two nights I've had it, I've really enjoyed it. I have enough for a couple more days.

I took some rotisserie chicken out of the freezer and had it with pasta and broccoli.

I made chicken soup today with the leftover rotisserie chicken. It hit the spot.

That's a fine-looking soup, Joan.

I made yogurt on Tuesday.

We had more of the spaghetti squash casserole for dinner.

[Mike Nolan]

We had creamed tuna on biscuits.

Although I had more broccoli salad, I wasn't feeling it tonight so I had cheddar cheese, some mixed greens, a little mayo and mango chutney on toasted Will's sourdough - it was just right.

[chocomouse]

We had a pork loin roast for dinner, with potatoes, carrots, and onions roasted in the same pan. I seasoned it with Penzey's Justice and some smoked paprika.
