Stuffed pepper and salad. 4/21/26

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

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!

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 … Continue reading

Fish sandwiches with beans and slaw. 3/27/26
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 … Continue reading
