Pan fried salmon, tartar sauce, roasted patty pan squash, apple cole slaw, R had sauteed leeks as well. It all worked well together. Tea and a cookie for dessert.

Been enjoying salads for a while but it's cooler here today so I made some chicken soup and am poaching some sole in a very light tomato sauce. I think it will end up being a tomato fish stew/soup which is fine with me. Making hay while R is away. It wouldn't be enough for him.

we got a dozen steamed crabs yesterday, finished them up today with enough extra for hubs to make cream of crab soup. Also fresh corn on the cob and "red beet eggs", or pickled eggs if you call them that,, LOL

I am making angel hair pasta and meatballs. I will probably add cheese on it as well served with a side dish of veggies.

I lined my colander with coffee filters Riverdale. If I get into doing this I might get one of those washable mesh filters, I have a small mesh sieve but it's not nearly big enough.

The peaches are coming to the supermarket with lower prices every week so I'm going to can a few, I'm putting them in 250 ml jam size jars because I tend to not want to eat more than that all at once. Things are so expensive at my local store so I'm looking for ways to economize (because I'm cheap like that)

I've been reading about making yogurt in the instant pot and my last litre of Greek yogurt was almost finished so I figured why not give it a try - oh my, it was so easy and it's economical too, I may never buy yogurt again!

Greek here tonight. Roasted rack of lamb, roasted eggplant, wilted cucumber salad with sour cream, cherry tomatoes. If I ate more carbs I would serve rice or quinoa with it.

CWillie, some of our best meals have been the same type of creative covering, I mean cooking. Your description sounds yummy!

I was gifted a family sized can of maple baked beans (from my sister's MIL's pantry, expired so they couldn't be donated). How to use so many sweet, sweet beans?
I added in a handful of cooked great northern beans, some onions, green peppers, a sausage and a diced sweet potato, and to balance all that sweetness a good amount of smokey chipotle pepper. I'm licking my bowl!

I made a salad for dinner tonight too.
My daughter said that certain places, not here though are having salmonella issues with cucumbers. I love cucumbers!

It’s NeedHelpWithMom’s fault !

Was running errands this afternoon , then had to go with DH to pick up my car at dinner time after routine maintenance . DH said why don’t we grab a bite , he didn’t want leftovers . I said I didn’t want anything hot .

DH said how about that salad you like at Applebees since it’s on the way home.
Need said it and somehow it got in DH’s brain!

I don’t even remember the last time we were at Applebees. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️.

Soooooo, I had the oriental salad 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️.

So Need said it was 1570 calories.
The menu said it was 1250 calories with the grilled chicken ( instead of fried ) which is what I had.
However , I only eat 1/2 and I bring home 1/2 for lunch tomorrow. If I eat it by then it’s ok , not too wilted from the dressing.
Also I don’t eat the large breadstick at all that comes on it .
So I think just 1/2 the salad with no breadstick isn’t too bad .

cw,

I love fresh peaches! So delicious! I have been buying fresh strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and pineapple.

I can make soup or smoothies with frozen fruits and veggies any old day, I am seldom willing to pay the inflated prices in my town for the fresh stuff so I want to make the most of it.
(the peaches are delicious by the way)

cw,

Sounds great!

Whenever I overbuy fruit, I make smoothies.

Too many veggies? I will make soup. Not so much in the summer heat. I do love a pasta primavera!

I may have gone just a little overboard with my fruits and veggie shopping the other day, the peaches are already ripe and I haven't eaten any strawberries or kiwi yet. Yesterday I roasted zoodles on a sheet pan with a garlicky cottage cheese and parmesan sauce, that was a success! Tonight I'm making an Italian inspired asparagus, garlic and mushroom with fettuccine dish using the instant pot on saute so I won't have to heat up the stove, just winging it.

All I want to do is splurge!
My own cooking and sharing the cooking with dH feels like punishment for both of us.

That reminds me... I could get a frozen Marie Callender's Pie delivered!
Lemon Meringue, Chocolate.

Even a splurge around here needs to be justified by the budget. We have a lot of good stuff splurged just last week:
oatmeal cranberry walnut cookies from Sprouts
Brownie Bites
Kind Bars Brownie
Lemon Snaps, Lemon Wafers, Ginger Snaps.

Forgot what I had for dinner, but the Post Fire is 31% contained and has also reached Pyramid Lake. Skies look clear.
