I made a stir fry with beef tenderloin strips from a piece I cut into steaks. I added some leftover marinated chicken , shallots , roasted corn and frozen green beans. I added some sauce I had in the refrigerator and it was pretty good. However frozen green beans are now on my "do not buy again" list.
A neighbor gave me some of his sourdough starter at my request. I don't know what I was thinking. As I perused various recipes I was thinking this whole process is a lot more involved then I remembered. I ended up making focaccia and by some miracle (seriously) it didn't turn out too badly. I started with one recipe and finished with a different one so don't ask!
They do look deelicious!
I made banana bread and baked it in the mini loaf pan I purchased from KA. I wrap up the individual loaves and freeze them. They defrost quickly and are the perfect size for a quick breakfast.
Decided to go with a golden oldie that I knew my husband would like and that would get rid of an old (exp 2023) can of creamed corn.... so I made Shepherds Pie or a variation there of and my husband even had seconds!!! We are both still alive and well!
We had shrimp baked with tomatoes and feta cheese. Tonight will be sauteed steak with shallots and peppers rolled in a flour tortilla with cole slaw on the side. (I am out of onions).

BA do you put your jam in a water bath?
I forgot we did have the smoked brisket. It was very tender and tasty. Found a great restaurant in Montreal where we had it!
I made:" Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Corn and Shallots" a NYT recipe that was originally a Pierre Franey recipe. I used half and half instead of cream. It was delicious!
Looks like a lot of work!
Marinated pork tenderloin in brown sugar, bourbon, and Dijon mustard. Will serve with baked potato, corn, Washington Boro tomatoes and local peaches. I think I'm hungry.
What are you thinking of baking for the 4th of July? Bars, pies, cakes, cookies???
I froze leftover pork meat from some baby back ribs that I had cooked in the crockpot. (my husband loves the meat falling off the bones). So I defrosted the pork, added bbq sauce and made pulled pork sandwiches. Because I had some meat leftover I heated it up and served it over rice the next night. I was so proud of myself.!!
We had salad too! I was going for a Vietnamese salad but discovered I didn't have fish sauce (must have tossed it). After substituting mushroom soy sauce and tasting the dressing I threw it down the sink and substituted bottled french dressing. With the greens I did include shaved carrots, radishes and sweet onions marinated in rice vinegar , cold ramen noodles, basil, cilantro, mint and cheddar sesame sticks. My husband gave it a thumbs up!
Sometimes someone comes up with a gadget you can't live without. Personally I feel that to be my oxo salad spinner,
