I did the budgetbytes.com creamy salsa chicken skillet.
Dry-rubbed 2lbs chicken thighs with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and a little salt. Pan-fried them in a little olive oil, then set aside to rest. Deglazed pan with a jar of salsa, added black beans and corn and warmed through. Took pan off the heat, added some plain Greek yogurt, plus fresh cilantro and green onions. Sliced chicken and added it back into the pan. Made five servings, one for each workday lunch! Topped with a half an avocado. Came out amazing!
Roasted boneless skinless chicken thighs that were marinated in the rest of the korean inspired marinade that I made last week (conveniently the recipe called for saving half of it and using it as a dipping sauce, which it is also very good for). I also roasted some golden beets and made pita.
Should have gotten a picture since it turned out so pretty-alas!
Sea bass with a sauce made from tomatoes, onion and olives, green beans and roasted baby red potatoes.

That looks yummy! I just looked up the recipe and I'm going to try it tomorrow night. It gets very tiresome trying to think up meals for the 5 of us every night that everyone will eat, so I'm always on the lookout for ideas.
Last night I make lettuce wraps with chicken from earlier this week, this korean miso/chili sauce (but without the scallions and with an added clove of garlic), rice. I will likely have the same thing tonight.
Mostly hot weather food. Ajo blanco followed salad of watermelon/feta/mint drizzled with pomegranate molasses. Main of unseasonal buccatina carbonara stretched with a little spiralized courgette.
@acpgeeI absolutely am in love with your bowls and plates hon! Such fun colors and designs.
Doing my standard gift for new parents this afternoon of batch cooking some meals for the freezer. Will do a large quantity of Umbrian chicken cacciatore. We will roast some asparagus and green beans in their air fryer.
Batch cooking to fill freezer of new parents. Sides of roast asparagus and green beans and jacket potatoes. Main of umbrian chicken cacciatore where we added carrots and mushrooms so that freezer meals won't require making extra veg.
Dinner for 6 tonight in the summer-grill-and-salads theme. Supplemented freshmade Carolina Slaw and Tomato-Cucumber salad with several deli-bought salads (potato, black bean) as sides to grilled marinated BBQ chicken breasts. I try to make every dish in this summer theme simple, wholesome stuff.
