First grill of the season: hotdogs and buns and macaroni salad. I straight up forgot the eggs in the salad so I hardboiled some today to add to the leftovers lol
Risotto with leeks and spicy andouille sausage. This is a Brazilian recipe and ended up extremely creamy but the flavor was excellent. Aside from the leeks it included white wine, onion, parm, lemon zest and lemon juice. It called for linguiça calabrese but that's not anything I can find locally.
Hubby cooked. Made rice in the rice cooker, warmed up some beef rendang we had in the freezer and made some salads using dressings we keep in squeeze bottles in the fridge. Goma (=black sesame) on the cucumber and lalab (=ketjap manis, prawn sambal, garlic and lemon) on the tomato.
We thought we were out of venison but I found one more sirloin in the freeze, so we took it out with a bang. Marinated and seared venison sirloin, fajita veggies, Mexican rice, and avocado. Absolutely awesome!
Last of the slow cooked leg of lamb and drippings from the freezer. Made lamb gravy and salad from spring mix, tomatoes and Castelvetrano olives with a drizzle of olive oil.
I wanted to make Thai basil chicken but didn't have the right ingredients to do it properly so it's more of a stir fry. Chicken w/oyster sauce, basil, garlic, chili flakes and soy sauce with white rice. Asian slaw using sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice and spice.
Hubby made salad of green leaves, blue cheese, candied walnuts and ranch. I made the main of pan fried monkfish, butter blackened hispi and smashed potatoes.
Ahi tuna seared in coconut oil, great northern beans (from a can) and lemon parm chopped kit salad. Thanks to Kroger's Simple Truth Organic line for the latter two.
I would have never thought to pair beans with fish but I have seen @acpgee do it a couple of times and since I didn't want rice for the third time in less than a week I went with it.
Chicken teriyaki, roasted sheet pan veggies (mushrooms, onion, baby carrots, cabbage and pineapple), and sticky white rice. Husband had seconds which is always a good sign!

Everything, za'atar, and Persian blue salt bagels. The bagels turned out on the small side but were tasty.
