What are you Cooking the Week of June 28, 2026?

Probably something cool for dinner today, like a salad.

We have the start today of hot, muggy weather working its way into our area. I took advantage of what will likely be one of the coolest days this week to roast three large chicken breasts, which will give us Sunday dinner and dinner into the coming week. We had it with large salads, as we went to an open house this afternoon for friends celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary.

It's hot here and I'll be working all week so no day off until next Sunday. So today I prepped for the week.

I made 5 cups of chicken stock from my lone rotisserie carcass, a batch of tabbouleh to which I will I will add some feta later. And tonight I backed a piece of salmon which I split for two meals. I had spinach and orzo with it. Tomorrow night I'll saute the baby bok choi that I have on hand. I also gave salad greens to go with the tabbouleh and I can add tuna if I want more protein.

I had a steak, baked sweet potato and salad.

We had temperatures of 90 F Monday, with humidity, so I am glad that we had leftover turkey loaf. to warm up in the microwave. I roasted sweet potato chunks in the countertop oven, and we completed the meal with microwaved frozen peas.

I had the rest of the salmon and orzo, but opted for microwaved frozen peas. I got home too late to make the bok choy. And, it was hot and humid again

We had the 2nd round of KC strip steak, with sauteed mushrooms and potato salad.

Yesterday I cooked a couple of pork tenderloins on the bbq grill. I had it with 3 ingredient, one pot mac and cheese, recipe from The Hillbilly Kitchen on youtube (you cook the mac in milk, no draining, stir in the cheese and you're done.) Had it with fresh green beans, cauliflower, carrot and mushrooms (gotta have your veggies!).

I used a pre-shredded cheese blend that is labeled Mac and Cheese Blend that has Cheddar, American and Swiss. In spite of what all the TV cooks claim about pre-shredded cheese not melting well, you can see that it melted very well.

I got a beautiful orange cauliflower from Amazon Fresh on Sunday.

I had chicken salad,pimento cheese, sliced tomatoes and crackers.

Your supper looks amazing Len!

[Mike Nolan]

We both had fairly big lunches today, so I just had a salad with some roast beef on it for supper.

[RiversideLen]

The same as yesterday except with mashed potatoes instead of the mac.

[BakerAunt]

On Tuesday, we had large salads with some of the leftover roast chicken on top. Heat and humidity continue, with more forecast for the next few days.

That orange cauliflower is lovely, Len. I also like the idea of cooking the macaroni in milk for macaroni and cheese. It reminds me of some recipes I've seen where the pasta is either cooked in the sauce, or finishes cooking in the sauce.

Had radiatori pasta with pesto and a little tomato sauce.

[Mike Nolan]

We've got a lot of leftover deli meats and cheeses from yesterday's luncheon, so we just had some of that for supper.
