    We cooked at home one of our standard meals. Salad with homemade salt beef and blueberries followed by linguine with homemade pesto.

    From a couple days ago... Sheet Pan Chicken with Jammy Tomatoes and Pancetta by my favorite recipe magician, Melissa Clark. The tomatoes are to die for! (I used bacon instead of pancetta.)

    I also had roasted cauliflower, but that took a bit longer to finish roasting so I ate the chicken first and didn't think anyone here needed to see a photo of just roasted cauliflower haha

    White Beans with Celery -- this was underwhelming, I was surprised because NYT recipes typically come out great every time. I added some smoked paprika, olive oil, and nutritional yeast and that made the soup edible, but I would not recommend this recipe. I mean, look at it :D

    A quick snack: arugula (rocket) with smoked trout, almonds, olive oil, mayo. Not particularly pretty to look at, but it tasted good and got the job done (I needed a bit of fat & protein to finish out my day).

    Smoked trout - often overlooked but super tasty! Nice!

    My husband made steak, roasted tomatoes on the vine, zucchini, and mushrooms & onion. The portions were over the top but he did an excellent job.

    I’m so impressed by all the gorgeous dishes posted.

    @ddsb1111 - that looks delicious. We may have the same marble table too. Haha

    Piccalilli Spiced Rice & Tomato Curry. Both from my newest recipe book, which I am somewhat obsessed with! 😂

    Book is “East” by Meera Sodha.

    Takeaway sushi, miso soup made at home, and some prawn crackers sold for home cooking from the asian grocer, puffed up in the microwave for a minute.

    I found poaching keeps them tender but it doesn’t t do much for flavor. These days I poach and shred and then throw it in salads or sandwiches for lunch. For dinner I just cook it and eat it then since it doesn’t reheat well.

    Any chicken recipes I make in my crock pot always turn out tender. And when I pan fry chicken tenders, I always use a thermometer and remove them from the pan at exactly 165°.
