What’s for Dinner Tonight?


Last night’s dinner was a cup of asparagus purée soup and a gratin of baked gnocchi with cheeses. A bit heavier than wanted but still good.
:thanks:Ahhh, thank you for this inspiration. I had a cream of asparagus soup several years ago that was so heavenly I've been on a quest to reproduce it ever since. I've got 7 or 8 spears of asparagus left over from supper last night - just enough for another little single-serving R&D experiment! I almost never put away left-overs but now I'm so glad I did! :goodvibes
 
We've been trying to finish up some leftovers for almost a week, but we keep going out, meeting up with friends, etc. DH finished the american chop suey casserole (it was over a week old...) for lunches over the weekend, so that's good. Tonight we will have last Tuesday's meatballs in mushroom gravy. I'm going to stretch it with a bit more beef broth and some sour cream to make it more like Swedish meatballs. I'll serve it over noodles with a salad. No idea what the rest of the week looks like but I have to go to Sam's today so it's a safe bet that there will be some iteration of rotisserie chicken on my menu!
 
We had burgers. Tried to grill them but they were a pretty fatty 70/30 mix and fire flared up so badly, we had to move them to the oven at 400. I wasn’t cooking those on the stovetop. They were very good. Super juicy and flavorful. Just wish they could have been made outside. Served that with the leftover pasta salad from yesterday, some cheesy rice from a package to supplement and corn. (In my world, corn is still a vegetable like green beans or peas.😂)

I love corn and regularly serve it as our veggie especially in the summer when I can get it from a local farm.
