Salad Grilled Sirloin (real charcoal) Fried Egg Sauteed mushrooms Corn on cob Steamed asparagus Fudgesicle
We will have spagehetti with a tad of meat added and a bit of Italian buttered garlic bread made by me. Then around 8 pm our nightly fudgesicle
I think I'm going to make some split pea with ham soup in the Instant Pot. It has been raining and dreary all week, which makes me feel "cold" with the a/c running to help with the humidity. Anyway it feels like soup weather in my house. I'll make some bread machine french bread to go with it.
It seemed like a soup kind of day here, too. We have also had rain all week, and it shows on the forecast until after Independence Day weekend. I went out in the back yard and foraged for some fresh green plantain leaves (plantago) and am making red beans and greens, which we will have later on with some rice. Just a simple meal, but healthy and delicious. Plantain grows just about everywhere, and was apparently brought over to America with the first settlers because of its medicinal value. It adapted well, and now grows just about everywhere. The Indians called it “White Man’s footprint” because every where that the early pioneer moved to , the plantain sprang up there. This is not mine, but is a picture to show you in case you have never foraged for plantago before.
Today was Chick-fil-a day; nuggets and kale crunch side salad were enjoyed. The hubby also had waffle fries which I cast a wistful eye upon.
Odd dinner but tasted wonderful to me.Chicken breast basted I olive oil an seasoning..cooks air fryer. Pork and beans, garlic mashed potatoes with a tad of fried okra. Delicious
Our Dining Room is still closed as a safety precaution and this is the Sirloin Steak Dinner delivered to my apartment tonight.
Small golden onion meatloaf Auspergus tips with green onion and red potatoes suated in Olive oil Butteted toasted bread.....that was tasty. Fudgesicle later
That's funny, I just had those for dinner the other night: -Restaurant hot & sour soup I keep in the freezer -Frozen store pot stickers -Stir-fried broccoli
Tonight was: -Salad -Meatloaf -Air fried loaded potato bites (see pic) -Green beans -Fudgesicle Steamed russets, then riced, then mixed with egg, sour cream, cheese, salt, pepper, fresh chives. Roll into balls, toss with diluted egg wash, roll in fresh breadcrumbs, cook. Serve with sour cream. These are a little large. Should have made 30 party size, only made 21 dinner size. Still good.
The spuds were quoted as steaming for "30-40 minutes." At 55 minutes, I was cursing myself. Then they had to cool. Then I had to rice them and roll the balls. Everything else had already been done (other ingredients and and the making of the fresh bread crumbs) and was waiting on the spuds. It's OK. Future servings will be from the freezer. And I'm retired. What is this "weeknight" you speak of? Joking aside...these are very airy with a crunchy exterior, even though they came out 50% bigger than the recipe called for. I've never riced potatoes before. It makes a big difference.
