Joan Simpson.For lunch on Sunday, I made a new recipe, "Caramelized Squash and Lentil Soup," which was featured in Daniela Galarza's new Substack, A Petite Feast. I actually had a bag of French lentils (probably bought at a TJ Maxx), and I had a butternut squash that needed to be used quickly. I made a 1 ½ recipe because of the size of my squash and used the broth I made on Friday, along with liquid I drained off of last week's roasted Fairy Tale Pumpkin that I let drain before I pureed it. I did not have cumin seed, so I substituted ¼ tsp. ground cumin. It is a very nice soup. I froze two containers for future lunches and will have the rest for three lunches this week.
For dinner, we had chicken salad sandwiches again.
I was at my friends this weekend.. Saturday we had pizza , today my friends daughter made us Mexican food it was delicious.
We had sandwiches made with some of yesterday's eye of round roast.
For dinner on Monday, I made Maple-Dijon Mustard and Pecan coated salmon with roasted potato chunks. We also had a salad of spinach, carrots, and mushrooms, with onion on mine.
I had leftover pizza.
Creamed corn from the freezer, pulled BBQ pork on a flour tortilla and sliced tomatoes.
I cooked two artichokes tonight that were on sale at Harris Teeter - one for tonight and one for tomorrow. They are nice and tender. I made Cheater's Aioli from Cookie & Kate that I had saved a while back - I didn't use as much garlic as she said, but it had just a nice flavor, not overwhelming
For dinner on Tuesday, I made pecan-coated boneless pork chops and roasted some potato and carrot chunks. We also had microwaved frozen carrots and peas. We are under tornado watch this evening with a nasty storm headed our way.
We're under storm watch too; free ice cubes were falling down from the sky a little earlier.
I made baked eggplant parm today. Had some with meatballs and cauliflower.
We had salads again, roast beef on mine, tuna on Diane's.
We had two tornado warnings last night, complete with sirens. However, Scott watched the radar and told me that it would miss us, and was headed toward a town northeast of us, but it went by there then dissipated. We were fortunate. After the storm crossed the border from Illinois into Indiana, before it came our way, it killed two people in a small town.
To serve with the leftover pecan coated pork for Wednesday's dinner, I made a stir-fry with farro cooked in turkey broth from the freezer, and sauteed carrots, celery, mushrooms, and frozen peas. I also made yogurt today and roasted and pureed two butternut squash.
I was with friends today and we had hamburgers from a small restaurant that is to die for, fried okra and corn fritters.
We had some leftover roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy.
