    Tonight (Tuesday, 19th): slowcooker honey-mustard chicken thighs over quinoa with Polish-style beets and side salad. "Polish-style" refers to the fact that these prepared beets are from Poland; I have a market specializing in Central and Eastern European foods somewhat nearby. The jar said, "Shredded Beets," and, as can be seen, these look more grated or mashed - I was expecting more of a "beet slaw," and suspect a translation bug. That being said, they were a good choice to pair with the mustard sauce, and were lighter or brighter than typical pickled beets. Plus the color was spectacular. Still have to compute the MFP macros for this meal, but they should be pretty moderate.

    Last night marinated Chicken breasts in Cesaer dressing then griddled and served over iceburg lettuce, cucumber, baby toms, sliced avacado, couple of croutons and grated parmesan with a side of Asparagus sauted in butter and more Cesaer dressing. On strict KETO! Tonight Chicken thighs braised in cream sauce flavoured with french mustard and garlic, served with kale sauted in bacon lardons and garlic butter. Both meals low calorie and low Carb.

    (Wednesday, 20th): stovetop chicken breast "Creole" served in a brown rice ring with green beans. For anybody who's noticed, I've been posting a lot of slowcook or stovetop meals last couple of weeks - my oven baking heater element has cracked (I think perhaps I was too rough with it when cleaning the oven for Thanksgiving a couple of months ago, and it gave out). So, while we figure out "replace the old oven" vs. "replace the element," I have to strain my creativity for non-baked/roasted/etc. entrees.

    Vegetarian tacos with last night's leftover roasted zucchini and yellow squash, with the addition of oaxaca cheese. Seasoned with garlic, chili powder, comino...no salt. :( But it really didn't matter once I topped it with the salsa! :)

    My next cook is a dinner party Saturday. I only cook on weekends and for guests. Doing an incredibly effortless Italian dinner.

    Bagna cauda as a starter.
    https://www.saveur.com/article/recipes/marcella-hazans-bagna-cauda-anchovy-and-garlic-dip

    Linguine carbonara as the main.
    https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2012/may/10/how-to-cook-perfect-spaghetti-carbonara

    Because carbonara generates unused eggwhites, bitterkoekjes, or dutch almond macaroons dipped in amaretto for dessert.

    Thursday (21st): what I call "Casablanca Chicken," served with a side salad. It is a tagine-like cousous chicken dish cooked in my old-school, jiggle-top pressure cooker. Doesn't look like much, but tastes up a storm. Those with sharp eyes will see dark inclusions in the entree - those are prunes. Yep. And they're good to offset the spice mix (some variants of this dish use raisins).

    Tonight is roasted squash soup (batch cooked this weekend), with wild-caught salmon (broiled, served atop soup), roasted turnip cubes, shaved fennel, arugula, sprinkle of faux Dukkah (my hacked recipe) and preserved lemon coulis.
    Colors. All the colors!

    Amending.
    Same soup, but with crisped broccoli & squash cubes, salmon, shaved fennel, mint and Italian parsley.

    I roasted a chicken today with a pot of arroz con habichuelas. We had guests so it was easy and plentiful. I measured mine out ahead of time.
