I need to do some stuffed zucchini / zucchini boats. I have an abundance of zukes right now. Maybe tomorrow.

Every couple of years I make Curried Zucchini Soup. I usually add a little more spice - turmeric, coriander.

We had Green Chicken Chile from the IP tonight. It was too hot to turn on the stove. I think the rest of the week we're going to be eating out of the Crock Pot or Instant Pot.

Pork Carnitas are cooking away in the Crockpot. We've got enough produce coming in from the garden to make a nice salad, too.

rdsmommy · 08-18-2021, 11:08 AM

Mustard bbq baked chicken and creamed spinach. I needed super easy today so I turned on the oven even though it’s super hot outside.

ViolaMum · 08-19-2021, 11:41 AM

DH is willing to grill, despite the fact that it's still (!!) raining, so we're having Steak on a Stick (aka Beef Satay). For sides, I have green beans and plenty of Japanese eggplant in the garden that I'll either stir-fry or pan braise. Oooh, maybe Spicy Green Beans. Kids are debating coconut rice vs plain.

BBQ chicken, crispy potatoes, zucchini.

milkmommy · 08-19-2021, 10:21 PM

Ds 18 is playing in a semi-pro soccer game tonight. Kick off is at 6pm, so we're bringing sandwiches. Might even get to see dd and her dh.

I'm thinking shepherd's pie for tomorrow.

twoplustwo · 08-23-2021, 03:18 AM

Last night was chicken wings . . . I was going to make Mac n cheese for dd but she had leftover pizza so ate that instead.
Tonight is chicken salad and tuna salad. Trying ot make bigger batches of stuff for leftovers on busy nights. TOnight Ill cook the chicken before both kids have soccer than then mix it all afterwards!

We are in self quarantine for this week (been since Friday). Waiting on results for Margarets Covid test. I made a lb of black beans on Saturday so we've been having meals based around that over the weekend

Friday we had brown rice and black bean taco bowls
Saturday- We had black bean with pasta and Alfredo sauce with salad
Sunday- Back bean and cheese quesadillas
Monday- back bean minestrone soup and bread

tomorrow is chickpea pasta with feta and tomatoes and garlic bread (I think have to see if I have any)

So I have ground Italian sausage thawing, but probably won't be fully thawed so will have to crumble it and cook it that way. I have rice, grits, frozen hashbrowns, and some frozen veggies, but no produce to speak of (carrots, celery, lemons, onion, shallots, one tiny romaine heart, small jalapenos in my garden). I have a few kinds of cheese (cheddar, gouda, parmesan, feta). I have various canned goods like tomato products, gf cream soup, a few veggies, chicken broth, olives, beans, pineapple. I have lots of different dried spices and herbs and fresh rosemary in the garden. What would you make with those ingredients? I don't want to to go the store.

twoplustwo · 08-25-2021, 04:22 AM

I have chicken in the crockpot for chicken tacos tonight. I probably wont have time to do those yummy lentil tacos so will probably just do bean ones.

You've probably figured this out by now, but just in case you've still pondering...

Sausages with Onions and Celery (cut on the bias to mimic the shape of peppers) - just takes a few spices and maybe a little balsamic or some red wine. Add a little jalapeno if you like spice. You could even finish with some cheese on top. (I like black olives in mine, too. Oil-cured if you have them.) If you don't have bread/rolls you can serve over grits or polenta.

If you crumble the sausages, they work well for Eggroll in a Bowl. Just add cooked rice and whatever frozen veggies you have and you've got a one-dish meal.

You could also do a riff on Red Beans and Rice. With the Italian Sausage, I'd be tempted to use cannelini beans or another white bean. You'd need onion and garlic, some thyme, and a can of tomatoes.

Minestrone Soup - it sounds like you've got everything you need.

I have Cheesy Chicken in the crockpot and broccoli ready to steam. It's super-simple here tonight.
