What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[NYCgrrl]

Today was a tomato buying extravaganza at the farmers’ market. Bought about 8 lbs of different varieties and used them to make tomato confit (slow and low tomatoes braised in olive oil) and a sauce made from fresh fruit with only butter and halved onions. I’ve made the sauce in the past using imported canned tomatoes with great success but tried using fresh this time. Think I may have to add something to it but will wait until a mellower taste develops tomorrow to be sure.

Dinner was a cod filet pan sautéed with olives and leeks and a cup of defrosted broccoli purée soup. A mini peach cobbler with cream for dessert.

Today was amazing. Weather was beautiful! We took the first ferry to Block Island this morning and we are headed back now. We had lunch there. I had lobster bisque and fish and chips.

We haven't been to the Block in years! We should take up our friends offer one of these days and take ride over on their boat. That fish n chip looks GOOD!!!!

Going to chop up the chicken kebab leftovers and put it over a garden salad for dinner. It's a hot one in So Cal today!

Kung Pao Chicken over cauliflower rice.
A long morning working on our Trust....again. Hopefully almost done

So it’s actually chilly and rainy here only 57 degrees. Well probably not chilly, but it was 105 the past few days for me and so yeah I’m cold today! Haha
The only thing I have defrosted is kielbasa (since DS didn’t cook it while we were away) so we’re having pierogies with that and a salad.

I'm making loaded baked potatoes tonight.

Cool and rainy here today too. We are having chicken Cesar wraps with tator tots, cucumber and tomato salad, and pickles. I’m tired after my day of fun.

Wow what a difference a day makes in the weather!!

I picked the right day!

 

[NYCgrrl]

I picked the right day!

Yes, you did. Feels like fall today - brr!

Made an artichoke, tomato and pea pasta salad with lemon chicken today. Lots of fresh dill, mint and parsley in the dressing to give it a Mediterranean/ Greek taste. Some leftover feta cheese so added it in as well.
Unfortunately, no more cukes in the house so did without; maybe the weather will be more conducive for going to the store tomorrow.

Have a cup of vanilla yogurt so that and a sliced peach will be dessert.

I envy the cooler temps and rain!!
We've entered another excessive heat warning for the next 5 days 111 today

Tonight: Greek chicken with rice and the rest of the sweet cob corn I bought yesterday

Salmon night again tonight. Had it with green beans and roasted cauliflower.

We're back on the road for a few nights. DH ordered the bread service, then we shared a bowl of lobster bisque. Our shared entree was grilled salmon & shrimp w/ white rice & sauteed green beans.

Taco salad tonight.....and then for the family lunch on Sunday, DD wants tacos, so we will be taco fulfilled

 

[mickey916]

We're headed to SIL's house for pizza for her birthday. I'm finally back on track with healthy eating so I think I'll have a salad before we go so I won't be tempted by pizza. Luckily the place they're getting the pizza from isn't that great so it won't be too tempting!

 

[Giraffe_Zen]

Last night was leftovers-Pizza for me. DH had a chicken patty sandwich.

Tonight is probably leftovers as well: Burgers and will probably make some fries to go with it.

 

[LilyWDW]

Trying to decide for tonight.

Thinking chicken burgers and corn on the cob. Maybe some baked beans?

Leftover Greek salad today with the cucumber added. Have a bit of fruit left and decided to make some desserts with it.
Found a recipe for strawberry spoon bread that looks easy and fast. All this seafood shack talk got me thinking about New England cuisine and I decided to try making hermit bars this week. Reading about 4 different recipes and it’s interesting how similar the ingredient lists are.
I’ll see who “wins” by this afternoon.
