What’s for Dinner Tonight?

Been hearing about this and that kind of bowl dish for donkey years but never made or ate one before.
Today I made a salmon vinegared rice bowl with avocado, julienned cukes and coleslaw: simple and yummy too!

Bought some elderflower syrup, added some lemonade and seltzer for a refreshing drink.
My daughters are both very into making these, usually tilting heavily to the Korean style. I've tried a couple and they've been quite tasty.

Tonight I'm trying out a new recipe for Tilapia fish cakes where you first bake the fish, then flake it and mix with other ingredients and brown in a skillet. Trying to force myself to be motivated and drag myself out of my rut. Planning to pair it with some couscous and steamed or roasted asparagus.
 

Had a fairly long physical today so stopped at a hospital takeout cafe and got some shrimp gyoza on the way out. Added some shredded cabbage and julienned carrots under them and heated em in the microwave for dinner.
Decent eats.
 
The grandkids are always begging for tuna casserole, so that's what we're having tonight.
When I was a kid my sisters and I could request whatever we wanted for dinner on our birthday—had to be something made by mom though. I almost always asked for tuna noodle casserole. I loved that as a kid. No one I live with now will eat it though.
 
This week is easy dinners because DD and SIL left this morning for a week in Disney, so both were busy with work-stuff on Monday and Tuesday, and of course DH and I both work full time, too. On Monday I bought a rotisserie chicken from Sam's and made "garbage stock" from the carcass. Strained out the "garbage" then cooked lots of veg in the broth, then pureed it. Made a pot of rice and a salad, and there was chicken meat to put in the soup for those who aren't vegetarian. Tuesday was chicken pot pie, also from Sams, and... not sure there was a veg. DD/SIL left at noon today, so I picked up the resident 7 year old after school and came home and made a chicken noodle casserole. It's supposed to be made with ground turkey, but I chopped up some of the chicken meat leftover from Monday and used that instead. No veg on the side, but the casserole is full of celery, onion, broccoli, water chestnuts, and mushrooms so I figure there's enough veg in there. Also I hate to make salad, and I'm tired, and there's still bathtime and bedtime to go, and this is only night one of a 6 night trip...
 
Tonight was white bean soup from the freezer heated up and roasted green beans added.

Started working on my Passover Seder menu which will be easy peasy. Made a almond flour cake with cardamom and put in freezer until “Mikey” gets here from Florida. He’s the younger brother of the man and hasn’t visited NYC in at least 25 years. Last time we saw him was at WDW during the December holidays in 2018 or 19 so I’ve lots to catch up on. Tomorrow, will be my version of gefilte fish which is actually quenelles or protein dumplings made from fish. They also can rest in the freezer for a short time.
