A few months back I bought a box of "Camellia" brand cajun style white beans with seasoning. The box was a 5-point freebie from our Giant supermarket. I added sliced Italian sausage and leftover chicken. It was very good.
The focaccia looks fab!
We had a super chicken salad. I baked a bbq sauced chicken breast. I purchased one of those sunflower mixed salads . I added sugar snap peas, diced radishes, tomato slices, fresh basil and the sunflower seeds included in package, diced chicken and noodles for heft. A+
My neighbor brought over a large batch of soup. It had a tomato base with mixed veggies, small whole potatoes and meatballs. It was hearty and filling. It just needed some spice which I will add when we have the frozen leftovers.
Did you refrigerate the shells overnight too?
BA that sounds like a great idea!
We went to Guppy's in Indian Rocks (BA you probably have been there) and I had Caesar salad with raw tuna sashimi. My husband had the swordfish wrapped in bacon. Our friends strongly suggested the lobstercargot with lots of butter. I couldn't go there.
Happy Birthday Joan🎂! Yesterday my husband and I had fish and chips at a great little seafood place in Dunedin. This was after a spring training baseball game game where we almost melted in the sun.
We had fresh salmon which I baked after a short marinate. I served it with a baked potato and a spinach salad. There is a fantastic fish market here on Gulf blvd in Redington Shores.
We had leftover steak pieces with seasoned Asian vegetables and a little curry sauce from TJ's. Served this with TJ's organic jasmine rice.
We had tacos with leftover beef which I had frozen. The beef was spicy but not taco-tasting. I substituted chopped celery for the lettuce. I had wrapped the celery in foil and it had stayed fresh for a couple of weeks. The cucumber I wrapped on the same day was mushy after a week. A lesson learned.
Sorry I missed your Birthday BA. Hope you enjoy the rest of the year.!
I decided to try ChatGPT and ask for a recipe using boneless skinless chicken thighs, tomatoes and sour cream. I specified making it in the oven. The site gave me an oven temperature and a vague idea on how to combine the ingredients. I chose what spices to add. It turned great. Since we are only here (FL) for 2 more months I don't want to buy a lot of ingredients to take back.
Did you make the biscuits?
I roasted a chicken breast which I marinated with oil, vinegar and spices. The spice I used peculiar to Florida (I think) was "Everglades". The spice is also known as "Monkey Dust"! It's mostly salt with a little msg, papain and spices. I roasted the breast for 20 minutes @ 450 and then topped it with a little honey mustard. It was perfect. I had marinated green beans to which I added roasted cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and chopped basil. Not having a toaster oven has been a real challenge. I did have to purchase a grill pan and small sheet pan. Oh well I will have something to look forward to when we go back April 1. The weather is an improvement over home.
