Lockdown Easter Dinner: Classic Pineapple Canned Ham
It's been an odd Easter - 21st century streaming video of services this morning for social distancing followed by a 1950s/60s dinner classic: pineapple brown sugar glazed canned ham.
Continuing our use of canned pantry stores, one side was canned green beans. We were also able to have fresh roasted potatoes and nearly-last-of-the-fresh assemble-your-own mixed salad. I was reserving one little can of chunk pineapple for this meal for a couple of weeks. I (and my wife) haven't had this type of ham since, well, it seems forever, and our daughter not that she can remember. Tasty-ish (we were able to get a couple of these hams in the Great Grocery Panic here in NJ a couple of weeks ago, but they aren't premium grade) and filling, with nostalgia as a side benefit. "Where are the cloves?" you might ask - we don't have them on hand, but did sprinkle in some ground cloves into the brown sugar. But still, this made a nice Easter Sunday sitdown dinner. I haven't yet figured my MFP macros on this; probably they're OK, except I'm sure we blew the lid off our sodium targets. These small hams don't need that long in the oven, which means the caramelized pineapple, which I remember from years gone by as a treat, didn't really materialize.

Baked Spaghetti Squash with Puttanesca-like Sauce
No pics taken. A CV19 lockdown mix of fresh and pantry ingredients. Good tasting, filling and kindly resultant MFP macros. The sauce was basically an improv, which is what I understand the origin of puttanesca itself to be.2 -
last night: Beef burgers, Zoodles and fries.
this morning: Berries, banana, spinach protein smoothie.2 -

CV19 Lockdown Adlib Moroccan-Influenced Chicken Over Couscous
"You feast first with your eyes," is a saying, and this doesn't look like much in the pic. But it tasted great and was filling. More interestingly, this is mostly a product of cans and long-term stores from the pantry: canned chicken, dried couscous, dehydrated vegetables, canned tomato paste, chicken bouillon, canned black olives, golden raisins (only fresh: sauteed onions and some celery for greenery). I also tossed in some leftover canned green beans for the heck of it.
While we wait on our next fresh delivery, produce remains scarce, fresh chicken nonexistent and condiments/etc., pretty much limited to what we have on hand. Fortunately, that includes a jar of Ras el Hanout spice mix, which made this stew savory and rich.
We just got delivery of the canned chicken, and, as in the instance of the beef I posted about last week, isn't really appealing straight out of the can. But it works really well with the proper supporting cast of ingredients and prep method. Note that the chicken is sold as "chunk" but looks shredded here - that's a result of the extended time braising and stirring. I made the tri-color couscous with some dehydrated veg to add some more flavor interest and nutritional side benefits.
MFP approximates a serving of the chicken stew portion at 320 cals, 29g protein, 8g fat, 32g carb. I figure in the couscous separately. The "adlib" in the recipe title is my way of saying, "I threw stuff in the pot until it seemed right."
