Grilled steak and potato with salad. 1/31/26
☹️ Disappointing, steak was full of gristle
Lentils with turkey sausage. 1/30/26
Enjoyable for dinner and there are leftovers for lunch.
Asian salmon bowl. 1/29/26
👍 Delicious!
Rao’s eggplant parmesan. 1/28/26
The jury is still out on this frozen entree. It came in a two pack from Costco so we will at least have another chance to evaluate it. We used the microwave method which was 10 minutes at full power and 10 minutes on half power leaving the plastic film attached during both cookings. Sauce was good but the eggplant was covered with mushy bread crumbs. We will cook the other eggplant Parmesan in a conventional oven before rendering judgement.
Grilled loin lamb chop and sweet potato with broccoli 1/27/26
Everyone at our house loves lamb. The Australian loin lamb chops at Costco are not too expensive and are great on the grill. We had a package of five so John and Sarah got two each and I had one, but it was the biggest one! We gnawed them all down to the bone
After microwaving a halved sweet potato John also got some char on it from the grill. It was really good. I sautéed the broccoli in a pan with a little olive oil to complete our dinner.
If you think you do not like lamb you should try it again cooked on the grill.

Braised chickpeas and zucchini. 1/26/26
Sarah’s night for making dinner and she chose a dish that she made about a year and a half ago. It is her take on a Smitten Kitchen recipe.
John liked it a lot but I found it kind of soupy. I would have preferred the burrata not to be stirred in. I think burrata is so luscious and it loses its character when just mixed in. She also included some sausage which was yummy.
Penne with broccoli. 1/24/26
I made this pasta recently and we both liked it so much I made it again. My secret? Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Put small broccoli florets in a colander and when the penne is al dente, reserve a half cup of the pasta water, and then pour the water and the penne over the florets in the colander. Put everything back in the pot and add olive oil and some reserved pasta to make a little sauce. All you need now is grated parmesan and you are done.

Bagels and lox 1/23/26
Normally for Christmas breakfast we have bagels and lox. However since we were away over Christmas we never got to use the lox we had bought. I figured why not have it for dinner? So we did. We wished each other a merry Christmas and chowed down the bagel of our choice ( I had rye, John had pumpernickel, and Sarah had super onion), with toppings of cream cheese, capers, red onion, and lox. Yum! What a delicious and unexpected dinner!
