What are You Cooking the Week of February 23, 2025

Today I had rotisserie chicken and potato salad for lunch so tonight for supper I just had an apple and banana salad. All it is is one apple chopped up one banana chopped added about a teaspoon of sugar and a couple tablespoons of mayonnaise. Stir it up and eat it and it's so good. I used to sometimes put some raisins in it, but I didn't do that tonight..

I made chicken broth on Thursday using the bones from Tuesday's roast chicken, and some bones in the freezer from when we had bone-in chicken breasts.

For Thursday's dinner, I made beef stew using meat and potatoes from two different vendors at our local farmers market.

I tried a new recipe for my lunch soups on Friday: "Hearty Lentil-Tomato Soup," from The Family Immunity Cookbook," by Toby Amidor. It was featured in one of the email health newsletters I receive. I replaced the tomato puree with crushed tomatoes (close enough). It also uses red lentils, garlic, onion, shredded carrots, and chopped celery. I replaced the 3 cups vegetable broth with my chicken broth, and used 2 tsp. of Penzey's Now Curry in place of 1 tsp. ground cumin, ½ tsp. ground turmeric, 12 tsp. ground ginger, and 1/8 tsp. hot pepper flakes. I deleted the salt, since there is salt in the canned tomatoes, and used freshly ground black pepper. It is a tasty and satisfying soup which goes well with the bread I made two days ago. I will freeze a serving but keep the rest for lunch over the next three days.

Friday night's dinner was leftover roast chicken, roasted sweet potato chunks, and microwaved frozen peas.
