What's for Dinner, Sat., Jan. 8, 2022

Green salad with iceberg lettuce, red onion, sliced tomatoes and almond slices topped with a Balsamic vinaigrette.

Cappellini with puttanesca sauce. Garlic bread.

Klondike bar for a treat.

Early to bed as tomorrow will be a busy day.

With onions, cheese, no beans. Some oyster crackers on the side. There’s as many opinions as there are recipes, but I’m happy how it turned out.

Dessert? Maybe a small piece of chocolate edible before bed. 😴

Sounds really good. I’m going to look that up.

There's some scalloped potatoes left (with kielbasa) from Wednesday, And there's some spaghetti left over from whatever night it was when we had chicken parm

brownies for dessert

made a gluten-free Cuban. I have been getting this really good bread from a bakery in Brooklyn...they send it out overnight and I make a big order and freeze it...so I layer leftover pork, swiss cheese and pickles on a really good gluten-free roll spread it with mayo and mustard...and grilled it...used my black cast iron pan to flatten...turned out great. I had an orange a few chips to go with it.

Already working in the oven...

and a lemon butter sauce on wild rice. Green beans in a macerated shallot vinaigrette.

This the first meal I’ve felt like cooking since getting Covid a week ago. I’m starting to feel like myself again.

I’m starting to feel like myself again.

So happy you're better and back in the kitchen!

I’ve been living vicariously through your dinner threads the whole time.

I *was* planning to make honey-mustard pork chops, even had them out, waiting for them to come to room temperature.

But I made a mistake.

Around 6, I decided that I *had to* have a mug of hot cocoa, the thick and rich variety with milk.

And it was good.

And it totally killed my appetite.

The chops are back in the 'frig.

My Bad.
