What are you Cooking the Week of October 20, 2024?

I had rotisserie chicken with coleslaw and crackers and cheese.

Tonight I had steak, baked potato and sautéed pepper and onions.

I roasted six whole chicken legs on Wednesday. We had some for dinner tonight with muddled mashed potatoes. Once again, I steamed the potatoes rather than boiling them. After mashing, I added a bit of salt and some evaporated milk that needed to be used. We will get another two meals out of today's cooking.

Dinner tonight is not low cal mac & cheese with bacon in it. I use cheddar, provolone, American and parmesan cheeses -- basically whatever I have on hand and cavatappi pasta.

I'm making potato leek soup, not super low in carbs (hopefully under 20 carbs/serving before adding croutons.)

I've got some semolina bread croutons, they're about 50% carbs, but I'm taking some of the Aldi white keto bread and drying it out in the oven, it has essentially zero net carbs. I'm told it makes OK croutons once dried out.

Kimbob that mac and cheese looks awesome! I had a chicken sandwich and pickles.

Croutons made with the L'Oven Fresh keto bread from Aldi worked very well in the soup, adding no net carbs.

We had leftover chicken for dinner on Thursday. My husband had more of the mashed potatoes. I halved and roasted a carnival squash. After baking it at 375 F for 40 minutes, I filled the halves with a mixture of farro cooked in chicken broth, sauteed red onion and banana pepper, some leftover slivered almonds, and a bit of dried sage, then topped it with some leftover Greek cheese crumbles before baking it another 10 minutes. I ate one half with my chicken and will warm up the other half at dinner tomorrow. My husband is not a fan of the various acorn squashes, so he does not mind.

I just had a hotdog on bread with corn chips.

We re-ran last night's dinner.

I've been a little lazy about posting here this week.

On Monday I made a small, easy lasagna. I made it in a pyrex baking dish. I used the no boil noodles, 2 to a layer with some overlap. Sauce was from a jar, I had some ground beef that I had cooked a couple of days prior. I used Ricotta cheese that I mixed in a little oregano and parsley flakes. I used 4 layers of noodles. When it was almost done I uncovered it and topped it with some mozzarella and finished it on the convection mode (the pan was too full to top it with the mozzarella and cover it from the outset). It came out good.

Yesterday I bought a rotisserie chicken and made tostadas and had it with brussels sprouts.

Tonight will be chicken with mashed potato, veggie to be determined.

We had potato leek soup again, but based on a reddit topic I've been following on artichokes which led me to an artichoke-potato-leek soup recipe I chopped up a couple of baby artichokes and added that to the soup. It was great, and we'll definitely do that again!

[Joan Simpson]

Len that looks awesome... that's one thing I've never made lasagna.

I had a chicken sandwich and chips.

We had pizza again tonight. We had tickets to see The Capital Steps last night, they were funny--as usual, so we postponed pizza night until Saturday.

Biggest difference was I baked this one directly on my 14" pizza steel, so the crust is a lot crisper on the bottom. (I couldn't figure out how to get a good photo of that.)

Worked fairly well, I'll do that again.

On Saturday, I made pea soup for the first time this season. I had some ham in the freezer to add, so it is wonderful on this cooler evening.
