The salad was better last night, still think it needs regular pasta.
I just canceled my Post subscription - changing the crossword was the last straw (I didn't need much after they lost so many good writers) I feel lighter now.
I'm getting ready to let go of my Post subscription as well. Last night I made a recipe that was highlighted in "Eating Voraciously" for peanut noodles with cucumber and diced chicken. It was a no cook dinner using boiling water to soften the noodles. I'm glad I read the comments before I made it as they said the sauce was too think and bland. So I used a peanut sauce I've used before. I did not enjoy the rice vermicelli (it was better tonight). Next time I will use regular vermicelli. Otherwise, I enjoyed it and I have 2 more dinners from it.
More chicken salad with spinach, tomato and avocado
I did have a wonderful time Joan, thank you very much. It was the first time I got to spend a whole week at home since we sold our house 14 years ago (sometimes it seems longer). I got to spend quality time with my brother and SIL, saw lots of friends, sat on the porch and read and walked a lot. I joked when I got home that I had to go North to get a tan 😁
I made Mrs. Cindy's Irish Oatmeal bread today. I've been tweaking it over time as she liked softer bread than I do. I've been cutting back on the honey and the yeast. This time I used bread flour instead of AP. It's really close to what I want, but next time I'm going to cut out another tablespoon of honey.t
I got back from Massachusetts last Tuesday and ate out of the freezer for a couple of days. On Thursday I got a rotisserie chicken which I used on green salads and the today I made a chicken salad with dried cranberries, celery and pecans with half mayo/half 5% Greek yogurt. I seasoned with tarragon, salt and pepper. A very nice dinner for a day when it was too hot to go outside after an early morning walk.
At my brother and SIL's tonight we had fresh swordfish, broccoli and salad. Yum!
Yesterday I made a crustless quiche, had another piece tonight and two more for Monday and Tuesday. It's a great way to clean out the fridge before I leave on Wednesday!
I made tuna salad and had an open faced tuna melt on some of my whole grain bread with spinach and melted Gouda - Cabot makes a nice Gouda which is often on sale here along with their various cheddars and jack cheese. I had sliced tomato on the side.
Thanks, BA! Tonight I made chicken salad from the rest of the tender I had baked and then a side salad of the spinach and tomatoes - no tiramisu tonight, just a little bit of dark chocolate
Glad to hear your better! I'm going to Jacksonville with a friend tomorrow - I've been thinking about picking up some of the Sawyer spray for quite a while, like a year now 😜
BA, I'm sorry about your tick bite. I hope you are feeling better today. Since you do spend so much time in the woods, I thought you might find this article from NYT's Wirecutter newsletter helpful for future adventures. The link should work; let me know if it doesn't.
https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-bug-repellent/I made a loaf of whole grain banana bread using the roasted bananas from KABC. I had bananas that were halfway between ripe for eating and overripe. As I didn't have time to let them go to overripe, I decided to try the roasted ones. I really like the amped up banana flavor and the moistness they added. Tomorrow I will slice the rest and freeze it.
I had a simple spinach, tomato, baked chicken salad with shaved Parmesan. Then I had room for the tiramisu I brought home from work yesterday.
Since I'm off tomorrow, I made a nice dinner tonight and per usual, good for a few more nights. It's called Chicken Piccata Meatballs from Southern Living. I baked the meatballs instead of frying them. The sauce was light and had a nice flavor. The meatballs were very tender - I find sometimes chicken meatballs can be very dry. It was nice to make myself a new weeknight recipe that I enjoyed for a change. The last few were disappointing.
