It is always enjoyable to eat one of John’s perfectly grilled hamburgers with my favorite fixings, mayo, ketchup, and onion! I helped out by making a salad. It feels like summer is almost here!
This is one of my favorite Sunday night suppers. It feels like I am eating snacks for dinner. Breakfast for Dinner doesn’t have to be boring!
It’s a Sarah cooks dinner night! With some help from a Too Good To Go bag from Eataly she put together a spaghetti dinner with arrabbiata sauce and burrata cheese. So good!!!
I always look forward to the Sarah-cooks-dinner night!
We don’t have pork often because “the other white meat” is so devoid of fat that it is almost impossible to cook it without drying it out. I was really feeling like trying pork again so John reluctantly went to the store with me to try to find something that looked appealing. We got a package of center cut loin chops which appeared to have some fat running through it and John cooked the chops on the stovetop very quickly. It came out pretty okay. Certainly for $3.91 it made a very economical dinner especially compared to steak which would have cost around $20! Maybe we will try it again some time.
John grilled these lamb chops to a rosy hue for our Passover Seder. Along with the lamb chops were matzoh ball soup, mashed potatoes, asparagus, and macaroons made by Sarah.
We were supposed to have fish tacos for dinner tonight but I had shrimp tacos for lunch so we pivoted to a plain dinner of roasted fish, rice, and salad. It wasn’t fancy but it was easy and a good choice for a quick dinner.
We are having one of our comfort dishes tonight, lentils with turkey sausage and vegetables. I have a phone call with my dear friend, Sophie, on Mondays late in the afternoon so I like to plan a dinner that John can do most of the prep while I am on the phone. He does a great job cutting up all the veg, the sausage, and weighing out the lentils. It makes cooking dinner super simple.
It turns out very tasty plus we have quite a bit left over for lunches!
Sarah picked up a “Too Good To Go” bag from Eataly on Thursday when we were celebrating her birthday in San Jose. Among many other things was a jar of amatriciana sauce. Amatriciana sauce is flavored with some sort of pork. In this case, guanciale. It so happened that we also had a piece of guanciale in our freezer so Sarah cut it up and fried it and we had a delicious guanciale garnish.
It was a very enjoyable dinner!
We opted for something easy tonight. I enjoy having these crunchy but low-calorie fish fillets in the freezer. They cook up in the air fryer in about 12 minutes. Along side of our open-faced fish sandwiches I heat up some leftover spicy beans from our shrimp taco dinner and whip up some cole slaw using part of a package of pre-shredded cabbage.
Our 12 minute dinner is a hit!
