Lemon-herb chicken with homemade basil-garlic-herb tomato sauce and "supergreens" rotini. Some leftover unused peas from the other day's "soup season" entree on the side and also some leftover unused diced carrots cooked into the sauce for good measure. Had an intensive 2-day "wilderness first aid" course from the county park system and a national provider (yesterday and today), so when I got home this evening, I just threw together this meal for the family. 1hr from start to table.

Last night was roasted sweet potatoes, red onions, and kabocha squash with barley (which I made in the rice cooker). The squash was a shocking dud which sucked, but the rest of it was good. Will be lunch on Monday.2

I have 6 chicken thighs (bone in skin on) marinating with smoked paprika, an onion, black pepper, and 3/4 of a preserved lemon finely cut (the flesh not scooped out) in the fridge. All of that will be roasted with green beans as well.3

I didn't take a picture of my food done, but it was this recipe and it was one of the greatest sweet potato based dishes I've ever consumed:

I'm not much of a cook, but my husband made general tso cauliflower last night. I do prefer steak, but it was pretty good.2

Used left over turkey from Thanksgiving, and left over rice from curry to make a creamy turkey rice soup. I's a big enough pot that i had it all this week, and will have enough for three days of lunches next week.
Next up is ham pasta from the ham I've been eating for dinner all week (with two eggs and toast).0 -

No pics because it really isn't very photogenic, but I made a butternut squash and red lentil curry in the slow cooker yesterday which was lovely and really filling.1

Chicken thighs with maple syrup and delicata squash for dinner, roasted acorn squash (for part of my lunch Tuesday and Wednesday), and cooked four boneless skinless chicken thighs on the grill pan (for salads for lunches this week).
Yesterday was applesauce with cranberries and grated ginger.1 -
"Vegetable Beef Barley" soup as the next "Soup Season" entree. After a long weekend in cold Toronto, Ontario, and returning to a more frigid NJ, some sort of "comfort soup" seemed to be just the ticket. And a good way to change tacks from travel food. Diced/trimmed browned chuck roast, a bunch of different diced veggies, some fresh frozen veg (peas! corn! beans!) and enough barley for body without making this a stew yields a low-salt, high fiber, nutritious and satisfying meal. Yes, that is my old-style, jiggle-top pressure cooker pot; the largest vessel I have suitable for making a stovetop soup.

Bf and I prepped our lunches for the week by making slow-cooker enchilada casserole! Sautéed ground turkey and onions, red and green bell peppers, corn, black beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, quinoa, enchilada sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese! Topped with cilantro.2

I made an adaptation of this fish Florentine from the Skinnytaste website last night
https://www.skinnytaste.com/fish-florentine/
I used cod loins, I substituted grape tomatoes for the red pepper and I used a little more half and half to thin the sauce out. It was really yummy. It reminded me of a dish I had at Bonefish Grill that was one of their specials and I really liked it.1 -
I meal prep the day before I go back to work for 4 back to back 12 hr shifts.
Yesterday, I made slow cooker chicken tikka masala (served on basmati) and spicy thai chicken coconut soup.
Sorry, no photos but SOOOO delicious!1 -
First attempt at making Bahn Trang Nuong at home on a griddle pan on a gas burner not an unqualified success. Rice paper not really crispy and egg layer too thick. Needs practice. Surprised because the street vendors in Hoi An made this look so easy. Maybe this really needs to be done over a charcoal grill.1

First home cooked dinner after two week vacation in Vietnam. Craving Italian for a change. First course of linguine con bottarga had at 18:30. I imagine we will get hungry again later, so have ingredients for air fryer pollo milanese with some cubed tomatoes dressed in balsamic.1
-
Chicken paprikash for Saturday night family meal. First attempt at a stovetop version (previously have done slow-cooker). Came out very flavorful, but soupier than I expected - next time I'll believe the recipe proportions, LOL. In the meantime, maybe I'll count this as another "soup season" entree, LOL.
1. Served. With egg noodles and green beans.
2. Cooked. Will serve leftovers tomorrow night with rice - that will sop up the sauce pretty well.
