What are you Cooking the Week of June 11, 2023?

[Mike Nolan]

I'm doing a chicken pot pie for supper tonight.

We got an inch of rain in the last 24 hours and the predicted high for today is 74.

We will have leftover pizza for dinner tonight.

We have very light drizzle here--not enough for my husband to have anything to measure in the ran gauge. At least the air is moist, so that may help the black raspberries on the terrace and in the woods.

Update: We got 4/100ths of an inch of rain.

I'm going to have leftovers of the Peanut noodles I made on Friday. It was a recipe from Simply Recipes as I liked all the chopped veggies in it- red pepper, shredded carrots, mango slices (which is a really nice addition, green onions and cilantro. The recipe also called for romaine and red cabbage, but I bought a package of broccoli/cabbage slaw to use instead. The peanut sauce was disappointing - thin and too sweet - I knew I shouldn't have added all the brown sugar the recipe called for. I have a couple of other peanut sauces that I like better that I would use with these veggies I also used brown rice Pad Thai Noodles from Lotus brand that I use a lot.

I made stuffed red peppers to pop in the freezer for future meals. I used a pound of ground beef and a pound of bulk Italian sausage, bread crumbs, dried onions and parsley, hydrated with canned beef broth. The peppers were on the larger side so I cut them down the middle and made 4 stuffed halves. I also got 4 meatballs out of it.

Tonight's dinner will be leftover steak, a small salad and brussels sprouts, maybe a little pasta.

We had salads for dinner: leftover Greek orzo, seafood, and pasta with spinach, black olives, red onions, feta, and Ranch dressing. It was 80* with a forecast of heavy rainstorms late this afternoon, but they have not materialized, yet. So far, it's been the first day with no rain in about 2 weeks.

I had a cheese burger with onion and mushrooms and a large salad.

We had a 2nd round of chicken pot pie, there's enough left for dinner again on Tuesday, then I'll have to come up with something else.

Tuesday is bringing us some needed rain, although not yet as much as we hoped. For dinner, I roasted chicken thighs (we found a great deal at the grocery today) and made a farro stir-fry with chicken/turkey broth from the freezer, red bell pepper, sliced carrots, chopped celery, sliced mushrooms, and a bit of parsley. I threw in some frozen peas from a bag that must have been filled with peas that were picked past their prime because when we had them last week, they were tough and chewy. Putting them into the stir-fry hides that texture somewhat.

I also made yogurt on Tuesday.

We decided on tomato and salami sandwiches tonight.

I baked a nice piece of salmon that I had on a salad.

Yesterday I made some boneless chicken breasts on the grill. I had one with a salad and a little pasta. Tonight will be a repeat.

[Mike Nolan]

I picked two big bowls of salad from the Aerogarden today, so we're having salads and burgers on the grill tonight. (No bun for Diane.)

I sprouted some peapods and then put them in the Aerogarden, 4 of 6 are doing fine, I'm sprouting some more to replace the two that didn't take. Somewhere I think we've got some inoculant but I haven't found it yet, and for the amount of peapods I'm growing at a time it is kind of expensive (and I'm not sure how to use it in hydroponics.)

[RiversideLen]

I decided to turn tonight's dinner into a salad.

Wow, Len! I would definitely dine at this restaurant!

We had leftover roasted chicken thighs with leftover vegetable-farro stir-fry.

I spent Friday morning canning the gallon of maple syrup (large plastic jug) that I bought from a local producer at the farmers' market in March.

I spent the afternoon re-organizing my pots and pans cabinet, which I have been meaning to do for a while. It should be easier for me now to grab the pans I use most.

For dinner, we had the last of the black-eyed peas with ham and rice.
