That does sound good, Joan. I'd use the shredded cabbage for some crunch, but add a lot more veggies - shredded carrots, broccoli, onions, peppers, green beans, etc. The sauce is very similar to what I often use in my Korean dishes.

We had baked haddock and leftover salads.

I made Duchess soup, and added chopped broccoli from the freezer.

I made simple dinner rolls, but added a lot of herbs for some flavor.

I cooked breakfast sausages and baked blueberry pancakes with fresh maple syrup, right out of the evaporator! So good.

Today I made maple cookies, using freshly made maple sugar and syrup.

Pizza!

We had leftover pasta and sauce, with a green salad.

I made KAF's "Bake of the Year 2023", the coffeecake recipe with 10 (? or so) variations. The Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffeecake has been on my to-bake list for about a year. We ate some after dinner tonight, and it is delicious. However, I doubt I will ever make it again. There are 4 layers, which is like making 4 separate cakes: the raspberry layer, the cream cheese layer, the crumble layer, and finally the batter - which goes on the bottom. It took me an hour to make (plus 50 minutes to bake), and I had a huge pile of bowls and utensils to wash, plus 2 countertops to scrub. I believe they posted a chocolate version, not sure I'll even look for it, 'cause although I'd love to eat it, I don't want to make it!

I roasted boneless chicken thighs, which we had with a Mediterranean salad of orzo, cucmbers, onion, red pepper, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and feta cheese with a tangy dressing (which I also used to marinate the chicken) and steamed fresh green beans.

[chocomouse]

Dinner was ziti and marinara with kielbase, peppers, and onions, and a green salad.

[chocomouse]

Saturday night we had ham steak, broccoli salad, and the last of the Mediterranean salad and cole slaw.

Happy Birthday, Joan! Your birthday gift to the card players, and I bet they enjoyed them.
