Omnivore

A stir-fry is a good way to use up leftover chicken. The vegetables, carrots, onions, broccoli, celery, and cabbage, are all vegetables that I usually have in the fridge.

I have not been very good about making dinner this week or taking pictures of what I made. I will try using AI to fake a couple of our dinners.

On Monday we had leftovers from our Chinese take-out on Sunday. Our favorite Chinese restaurant’s last day was on Sunday. We are sad 😞. Now we will have to try new places which is usually disappointing.

Tuesday it was hot and I still didn’t feel like cooking so we had sandwiches. I made an open faced chicken sandwich using the rotisserie chicken breast from Costco.

Wednesday was classic chicken night! And a real picture too!

Thursday – grilled hamburgers and lentil salad

Friday – Air-fried fish filet with spicy tartar sauce and leftover sauerkraut (that needed to be eaten or thrown out)

Penne with fresh produce

Using fresh produce from the garden made this pasta dish especially delicious. I peeled the tomatoes so there weren’t any tough skins. John liked this enough that he asked if I remembered how I made the sauce so we can have it again!

Hot dogs with two salads

We are still working our way through our big package of Costco hot dogs. It’s no trouble since everyone here loves hot dogs. I made a Greek salad and a lentil salad to go with the dogs.

Pasta with corn and bacon

Sarah got this recipe from Southern Living. https://www.southernliving.com/creamed-corn-pasta-7496338. Corn goes well with bacon and, in my book, pasta goes well with anything! We only had macaroni and I think this dish could have used a larger shape. The recipe recommends penne or casarecci. It was really delicious!

Chana dal with rice and kale

Chana dal is a favorite of John’s. We make it in the Instant Pot. It looks like a winter dinner but using the Instant Pot keeps the kitchen cool.
