Tilapia, broccoli, and mixed mash. 4/20/26
Tilapia seems to be held in low esteem by chefs and fish eaters. I find the fillets that I get frozen from Costco to be a tasty, cost-effective entree for John and me. As usual John cooked the fish and … Continue reading

John seared these pieces of tuna to perfection. They only cooked in a pan on the stovetop for eight minutes, four minutes a side. He made the rice about an hour before dinner. I removed the strings from a package … Continue reading

Classic chicken dinner. 4/16/26
Meatloaf was on the menu tonight but since I had pigged out on the spaghetti and cabbage last night I decided to forego the red meat tonight. Chicken dinner is always a winner here!

Roasted salmon, mashed potatoes, asparagus. 4/8/26
John cooks the salmon in the oven at 400F. The salmon takes around 10 minutes. Doneness depends on the thickness. Don’t overcook the fish! As usual I take care of cooking the veg. Tonight is the last night for the … Continue reading

We have this dinner at least once every two weeks or so. Basically we buy a rotisserie chicken whenever we go to Costco. The chicken is such a bargain at $4.99. This dinner is homey and reminds me of dinners … Continue reading
