^Roast squash looks great. I need too try that.

Thank you. First time trying it that way for me. Small butternut squash - quartered and seeds scooped out. Brushed with olive oil, added a butter pat, salt, pepper, garlic powder. The recipe called for optional herbs of your choice and I still have Rosemary growing in my container garden. 425° oven for 45 minutes. Here's the 'before' picture:

Starter of dutch bitterballen (=croquettes filled with beef stew) and mustard warmed up in the air fryer from the freezer. Main of vegetarian hamburgers we had in the freezer. With all the trimmings of melted cheese, pickles, mayo, fried onion you hardly notice that the patty is not beef, to be honest.

American Wagyu beef patty, mashed white potatoes skin on, super sweet corn cob and sautéed french green beans.

We had a friend over for dinner so made more asian dishes than normal as a condiment for rice. Beef rendang I pulled out of the freezer warmed up in the microwave from a sous vide batch made last month. Fish/prawn stuffed yellow pepper with black bean sauce, where extra stuffing was used from a batch I froze the last time I made this dish. Chinese cabbage and sausage stir fry and chicken breast and snow pea stir fry were made from scratch while the rice was cooking.
The purpose of the visit was to test out cinnamon roll recipes this afternoon, so we ate our experiment after dinner. They overbrowned in the fierce top heat of the air fryer so next I should cover with foil for the first half of the bake.

Breakfast tacos for dinner: scrambled eggs w/queso fresco and cherry tomatoes in corn tortillas. Added sour cream and Cholula green pepper sauce. Corn tortillas were from the freezer and were from otohe big bag we got at the little tortilleria a couple months ago. Still going strong.

This is just so pretty to look at! And looks yum!

@janicemlove
This is pretty similar to the recipe I learned during a cooking class in Cambodia, though I would use less sugar and add a teaspoon of corn starch to the marinade slurry. I forgot to make the kyhmer lime and pepper dipping sauce.

Since we went out for lunch I wasn't overly hungry this evening so threw a few things on a plate for dinner. Chopped salad w/capers, olives & cherry tomatoes spritzed with olive oil. Some Iberian cured meats. Cottage cheese w/umami seasoning (primarily dried mushrooms). A rare dessert of sliced bananas with dark chocolate hummus and sliced almonds. I saw this hummus in the store and had to try it out. It's a little odd and kind of grainy but tastes like chocolate pudding. It also works with sliced apples.

Wednesday breakfast - just coffee.
Lunch - 3 cheese ravioli

A friend came over for dinner and we did air fryer Dongbei guo bao ruo and Chinese aubergine salad with rice and incidental roast shallots pulled out of the freezer, followed by chocolate sorbet for dessert.

LazyBlondeChef

Red beans with andouille sausage from the freezer plus rice. Chopped salad with capers, olives, campari tomatoes and some cheese spritzed with olive oil. I bought a rather large 32oz jar of capers at costco a few weeks ago so I will be adding them to a lot of things in the coming weeks. The ones I typically buy in the supermarket are only 3.5oz. But it was so much cheaper to buy the larger jar.

acpgee

Pan fried sea bass, microwave/airfryer smashed potatoes, sauteed spinach. Added a picture of last night's dark chocolate sorbet that I forgot to post.

Thursday dinner: (small plate) 2 Italian meatballs, small baked potato, peas & carrots
