Cauliflower pizza crust for which I still have to find my recipe. It's been years since I've made it.
The usual toppings: peppers, tomatoes, and Beyond sausage crumbles.
Tossed green salad using baby romaine and arugula. Sliced fennel, toasted walnuts, and sliced apple. I have to come up with a good homemade dressing for this, so I'll be consulting one of my new cookbooks.
Kombucha: ginger-cider.
Dessert: Light vanilla ice cream with toasted cashews.

(37,132 posts)Not sure what's in the freezer. I know we have flounder fillets, and perhaps cod. I'll probably pan fry it and serve with prik nam pla. I have some butternut squash I can roast, and lots of salad possibilities. Maybe rice. Sounds like dinner to me! It's still mid-80s temperatures here, so I can live on salads alone, and we've been eating outside again.

(37,915 posts)I have enough mushrooms & milk to make at least 2 cups of mushrooms soup and wide noodles, onions, darlic and fresh dill.
Some mix of all of those ingredients that will look like a stroganoff.
Or maybe mushroom burgers with buttered dill noodles on the side.
Unclear at the moment.

(141,926 posts)A fragrant and tangy chicken dish that will transport you to North Africa. Chicken is stewed with briny green olives, sweet currants, and toasted almonds and served over couscous for a faithful take on the comforting tagine dishes you find in Tunisia and Morocco. A side of harissa-infused butternut squash purée brings a pop of spicy creaminess with just a hint of welcome sweetness.
Sounds interesting, eh? Fingers crossed!
