Catherine: That is almost too beautiful to eat!
DH made a delicious spinach quiche. It's the first time in a long time that it was cool enough to turn on the oven.
That's not only beautiful, but it really looks good!! Would love the recipe, if you are able.Quote:

Well, I googled "Disney Ratatouille recipe" and there were a number of options. I settled on the closest to this one: (Start at 02:20)Quote:

I really like taking all the scraps from the narrowly sliced vegetables and making a sauce out of them, but I did add some tomato paste+sugar because I happened to have an opened can in the fridge. I also used thinly sliced red bell peppers in addition to the eggplant, zucchini, and yellow squash.
I think that as much dressing as you can put on before you put it in the oven is better. I still felt it needed a little more salt and herbs, even though I had minced quite a bit of basil, rosemary, thyme, and parsley from my garden. I'd double up on the basil. One of my guests commented on how good the basil was and I felt it could have used more.
My neighbor with Crohn's disease was thrilled that she had an easily digestible thing to eat. It was a little labor intensive, but I enjoyed the process.
A zucchini cheese omelet.

The blackberries have come on like crazy. We haven't seen them like this in... well, never. We have been going out every morning and picking before it gets too hot and then sealing them in 4 cup bags. I have already made jam several times and tonight I used some of that to make a blackberry/ginger/hoisin sauce over country ribs. Gotta say... with a glass of Pinot they were amazing.
DH grilled some salmon so will make a bowl with lettuce greens, cukes, red bell peppers and yogurt dill dressing.
Last night we had turkey tips and a salad. I love the turkey tips at the Ninety-nine Restaurant; they are marinated with a lot of rosemary and they are so delicious. DH nailed it!
Thank you so much, catherine! I can't wait to try this.
Soon it will be time for beef keema and basmati rice again. Probably with poppadoms, and maybe a salad.

Jane: I never heard of resistant starch before, so I looked it up - interesting! It's funny too because I like my bananas on the green side, and I love cold leftover pasta, although my DH teases me for eating "cold old food."
You've been right all along! Supposedly, it's a good prebiotic, or probiotic, or something.
Mince and tatties doesn't sound bad, either.
Taco Tuesday!
Tonight it was black bean, sweet potato and chicken enchiladas with homemade enchilada sauce. The sauce was easy to make with onions, spices including 2 kinds of powdered chili, tomato paste and homemade chicken broth.
Tomorrow i am making some spagetti sauce with loads of leftover mushrooms (overbought) and tomatoes from a neighbor. I can freeze it for later.
Those enchiladas sound awesome! We've got some leftover roasted chicken and a couple of sweet potatoes, maybe I will do that tomorrow.Quote:

Turkey cacciatore. Bone-in turkey breast, garlic, oregano, a little red pepper, a can of whole tomatoes that turned out to be wholly sauce (!), and celery instead of bell peppers (which do not agree with some members of this household). That'll be dinner for a few nights.
Last night was teriyaki chicken breasts with garlic couscous and broccoli. I'm thinking of trying an Egyptian recipe I got over the weekend - Koshari.
Salad including pesto.
Progresso Tomato Rotini soup with some oyster crackers. Fruit and yogurt for dessert.
I am VERY much a creature of habit! LOL
A casserole that everyone loves.
A Chipotle bowl with brown rice, black beans, steak, diced tomatoes, sour cream and cheese. As the house chef, I took the evening off.
I pulled a spinach black bean enchilada from the freezer back when I had fresh spinach, refried bean burrito, homemade salsa with garden tomatoes,, and Spanish rice.
Celebrating a family birthday tonight so either delivery or social distance dining outside.
I have a lot of veggies and such in the fridge that need to be used, so tonight will probably be cauliflower steaks, roasted sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, salad, etc.
Spaghetti squash with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese.
Chicken legs in the cp probably with bbq sauce and leftovers! We seem to have an abundance of leftovers in the fridge, for some reason. lol.
The casserole is finally done so pulled some homemade spaghetti sauce out of the freezer.
DW's turn to cook tonight. All I know is that it involves chicken breasts. :)
Acorn squash.
Pork chops here tonight, as well, along with kohlrabi fries -- french-fry-cut kohlrabi tossed in a coating and baked. This recipe was just OK; I'll change it up considerably next time and it will be a much better substitute for french fries.
As much as i hate it, mcdonalds.400 miles round trip for a family Celebration of Life.
Dry rub chicken wings and home made French fries. SO was dubious about the chicken wings when I made them a couple weeks ago but today he’s totally on board. The dry rub uses about 15 spices but miraculously all but onion powder is stuff we already had.
And the butcher near us has great sources. Their chicken wings are really great.
Last night was tilapia, wheat berries and brussel sprouts. I think tonight will be diced up chicken breast in sweet n sour sauce, with rice and.... some veggie TBD. LOL
Tonight will be steak and mashed potatoes.
Salmon caught by my neighbor on his annual fishing trip with his church group. I should cook it on a plank on the grill, but it'll be in the 90s and humid here by dinnertime; that isn't happening. Broiled will be tasty, too. Or I could plank it inside (have to check that out...). Maybe cauliflower on the side. I think we're out of the other fresh vegetables we had on hand.
We are going out for lemonade sorbet at our local dairy bar.
We did that yesterday and then came home and followed it up with salad.
Maybe we'll do same thing today.
