What’s for Dinner Tonight?

Last night DH and I went out in a date to our favorite Asian place. We both ordered Hu Tieu. Mine veggie, his with chicken. Always delicious.

Tonight I made a giant salad of all the odds and ends in the fridge and served it with choice of dressing, cottage cheese, and a frozen pizza from the back of the freezer. Salad was 🔥🔥
Never had Hu Tieu but it reads delicious! There aren’t a lot of Cambodian eateries in my area but we make do with various Chinese noodle soups and ramen. Almost wish it was time to clean out the fridge as that’s were a lot of leftover veggies wind up 🙂
 
Been under the weather. 🤧🫤Hubby reheated some chicken soup for me last night. He’s now traveling for work, so no idea how I’m fending for myself tonight.
 
I had the sushi last night and it was excellent! I am having the rest for lunch today and then I'm going to have pizza with some of the other volunteers and staff from the animal shelter tonight.
 
I wasn't having a great day yesterday so my husband made spaghetti and a fabulous salad and garlic bread.

Tonight I'm making an easy dish, egg roll in a bowl over rice.

It was new to me as of a month or so, too. The style this place makes isn't exactly like I see on google. This one is chicken broth based and has a TON of fried garlic on it. Comes with the typical Pho accompaniments, sans hoisin. I add lots of chili flake and I usually get tofu vs veggies, but this was just as good! I CRAVE it. Which says a lot as I eat vegetarian 99% of the time. I am not usually a soup eater, but throw some of this, some hot and sour, or some Pho my way and watch out!
 
weather is decent so dh will bbq chicken thighs marinated in jerk seasoning (weber's just add juice seasoning packets). serve with zattaran's caribbean rice and some black beans (canned but i add trader joe's corn salsa). ideally it should be enough for tonight and tomorrow night.
 
Per usual...deviating from the planned menu to use up leftovers. DH is having leftover cutlets from last night reheated in the air fryer (sides TBD). I'm making buffalo chicken pizza for myself using up the last of the leftover rotisserie chicken. Leftovers from the pizza will be my lunches for the rest of the week.
 
anyone else eyeballing the ads for good deals on foods geared towards superbowl hosting?
 
Tried a new to me northern Chinese recipe that featured lamb chops. Really similar in prep to the dukkah coated chops I made last night except different seasoning (cumin, coriander and Sichuan peppercorns marinade) and served with an herb salad after grilling/broiling. Really good and a contender for lunar year.

Tonight will be grilled chicken breast, fettuccini alfredo, and roasted broccoli
 
I've been craving some grilled cheese and tomato soup so I think that's what I'll have this evening.
 
last night was a fend for yourself night. Not sure what kid ate - the chips were finished so I assume nachos or a sandwich and chips. I had 2 crispbread crackers with some laughing cow cheese and my homemade parsley-based pesto on it, a granny smith apple, and the last square of the sweet potato brownies I made this last weekend.

I went in the freezer this morning for inspiration and saw the tub of leftover beef stew from a few weeks ago so took that out and a loaf of italian bread I froze around the same time. Will be stew and warmed, buttered bread for them. I will have a salad and maybe some chickpea pasta with some of the parsley pesto.
 
Still under the weather a tad. Picked up some local butternut squash soup and sourdough bread. Having that as a late lunch and we'll see if I have dinner. Maybe an apple for dinner. An opal apple, my fav variety..found some at the store.
