What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[AustinTink]

Felt like junk food so I baked some chocolate chunk cookies and made french bread pizza for dinner.

Tonight we had air fried honey salmon with coconut rice bowls, topped with cucumber, avocado and spicy mayo. It was my first time making this but it was delicious and I will definitely repeat it. I love sweet and spicy dishes!

Has anyone tried chicken burgers? Thinking of trying them. I hate turkey burgers.

DD and SIL went to their concert last night. She's been fever-free for 24 hours and could return to work this morning, so she put on 2 masks and they went (sitting outside, on the lawn, away from others), so they had a smash burger at a food truck. I feel awful (I have covid) so DH picked up some tonkotsu ramen and some salt-n-pepper calamari, hoping to tempt me, but all I could taste was SALT in both. I guess he ate that. I have no idea what's on tonight's menu, and probably won't be eating anyway.

Feel better! I always lose my tastebuds with covid, too. Nausea as well.

I don’t eat red meat and have tried them. The texture is softer than a Turkey burger and did not hold up well on my grill but was fine on my griddle/fry pan. I found it to be dry so I would look for ground dark meat if it’s an option. I can only find it with white meat by me.

I have had them and I like them but I feel like you always have to add moisture and flavor. So I do add eggs, breadcrumbs, herbs etc. If you find turkey burgers not to your liking I feel like chicken burgers are sort of similar. I will say, if falling apart while cooking is an issue, I have baked both turkey and chicken burgers on a sheet pan in the oven before with success.

Lastly, Costco sells a frozen chicken burger that’s actually really good. My daughter doesn’t eat red meat, so we bought them for her on the days we had something she didn’t want. But one day in a pinch for dinner, I made them for everyone and they were very very good. I’ll see if I can find the brand.

ETA. I found the brand. It’s Amylu. It’s a caramelized onion chicken burger and it looks like they sell them in other locations besides Costco in case you are interested in trying them.

So sorry! I hope you feel better soon. Covid is the worst.

I'm not super fond of turkey burgers. Since we've cut back on meat I change it up with salmon burgers, shrimp burgers and portobello burgers. Most of the time I only eat the burger itself because I just haven't been enjoying the buns -- or I use lettuce as a bun.

Feel better. Sounds like absolutely no fun.

Family arriving late afternoon so guessing they’ll be more disoriented than hungry.
Making a salmon, leek and Swiss chard soup but the fish will be put in at the end. That’s because I’m now at the whims of some of the pickiest people I’ve ever known and they outnumber me .

Let’s see, we have the person who claimed I made ratatouille too often and that’s why he doesn’t eat it (oh dear,play me a tiny chorus of violins) anymore. And he can only eat tuna fish, nothing else from the sea ( he’s getting poached chicken added to his soup) His daughter thinks his food aversions are crazy but yeah she has her own issues like a disdain for cheese. Can’t wait to see the two of them in action together

Making grilled tomato, basil and mozzarella sandwiches to go with the soup as all will eat mozzarella.

A flan for dessert.

After two days of eating all the things at the casino I’m making a big salad and grilling chicken to go on it for dinner tonight.

It's supposed to be frozen lasagna. I made three dozen enchiladas Sunday evening that got us through two dinners and a few lunches so far this week. So tonight we're keeping it simple.

Panko crusted chicken breast tossed in buffalo sauce served over salad greens. ‘Twas delightful.

Thank you! I think I’ll try them.

Friday is usually leftover day, but we don't have any, so DH requested the Caprese sandwiches again.
Works out well because we eat at different times on Fridays.

Those are some serious Chatty Cathys!
Change of bedtime for me as we caught up. We speak frequently via WhatsUp, etc but there’s nothing like having your loved ones in your face .

A lot of “welled” up desires; been given my marching orders as to what they want: everyone wants Caribbean food as it’s difficult to get in most of Europe besides the UK. A request for any region of Spanish/Latino cookery. The boy-man eats fish now! I’m so proud of him and handing back his West Indian roots card. DGD still has no affinity for cheese and if several months in France doesn’t bring it on, it’s a lost cause and I admit defeat.

So anyway we’re going to the Met this afternoon for the soon to be closing Harlem Renaissance exhibition and probably eating out.

BLTs for dinner with capris salad. Tomatoes are out of control I have 60 on my counter. I’ll make salsa tomorrow and see what’s left after that.
