It's a busy week so I cooked in advance last night to cover the week. I was going to grill but it's been raining for a year now... Anyway I made some basmati rice seasoned with lemon and basil, roasted zucchini and yellow squash and sautéed portabella mushrooms and shrimp. Tossed all together it's pretty tasty and I won't have to cook dinner for a few more nights.

I finally gave in and opened the air fryer that I've had for five years. It was never my idea to get an air fryer in the first place, but the boy came home with it one night. I kept putting off opening the box for lack of counter space. But over the last week or so, I've been rearranging my kitchen, and now I have a spot. So for dinner, I had:
- French fries - a bologna sandwich Impressions: I was not impressed with the fries, but the booklet said if I used frozen fries, I did not have to use any oil. For fresh fries, it suggested spraying them with Pam. I think next time I will use frozen fries again, but I will spray them with Pam. That will hopefully make them crispier. After inspecting the air fryer and reading the booklet, it strikes me that the air fryer is sort of a grown-up version of an Easy Bake Oven. It never occurred to me to try to make French fries in my Easy Bake Oven under the hot light bulb, but that's probably just as well. |
It's so hot I'm struggling to figure out to eat before I have crew practice tonight. I think I'll do a scrambled egg with some smoked salmon. If I'm hungry after practice (I probably will be) I have a ton of washed and sliced fruit in the fridge.

Made a Cornish game hen in the air fryer last night. So tonight I made chicken salad wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. (Half tonight, half for lunch tomorrow). Mmmm...I added cranberries and walnuts.
It's been so hot, so I've gone wild with veggie salads. There is some leftover pineapple coleslaw. I just made a cucumber, red onion, sweet corn and a little left over frozen peas. Mixed it in this new dressing I found at Sprouts. Cilantro Verde. Spicy, just like I like it! Water. ( I did get the water lecture from my NP the other day) I just pulled out a Mochi cake from the oven. Trying this cake mix I got from Trader Joe's. I sampled, it's really good and easy to make. |

Pete grilled hotdogs last night, turkey for me and plant based for her. I made coleslaw with a cabbage from our farm share. same thing tonight
I grew dill, cilantro, and Thai basil from seeds this year. Yesterday, I froze dill in an ice cube tray, and I made peanut sauce with a healthy bunch of parsley that I started in a hydroponic kit. Pete picked up our farm share this morning and the carrot tops were so green and pretty that I made carrot top pesto. July is the best |

Carrot Top Pesto!!! I have not made that and now I need to. I'm having a snacky dinner. A little this and that as I go do this and that around the house. Some veggies and hummus. Some grilled shrimp. Some broccoli. I have some leftover baguette and goat cheese from last night that might happen. It should be noted that I'm not all that good at sitting and eating a meal. I'm a graze and run girl. |

Yes, it's hot outside, but every now and then the boy has to pull out his mother's recipe |
Bowtie pasta with dill yogurt sauce, roasted veggies, eggplant, red pepper, cherry tomato, zucchini and sliced sausage - what's not to love?! I had it at room temp, and it was pure bliss! Oh, and I made a little substitution, using capers instead of anchovies, because who needs anchovies, right, lol?
I found the recipe in my Chopped Cookbook. |
Meatless meatballs casserole — which has cubed zucchini, minced garlic, jalapeño, baby teardrop tomatoes, organic Bella mushrooms, rosemary, and simmered to purrfection in a Parmesan white sauce with extra creamy cheese and a bit of canna oil.
