What's for Dinner, Fri., Jan. 2, 2025

[NJCher]

Zesty Lemon Pepper Chickpea Salad. Veggies like yellow bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, scallions, avocado, and cherry tomatoes. The lemon-pepper chickpeas have seasonings of smoked paprika, oregano, dill, & cayenne. Feta cheese, parsley.

I'm doing the chickpeas in the pressure cooker.

The recipe has a lemon-olive oil vinaigrette to go with it; add red pepper flakes.

A few curry chicken meatballs from last night. I finished this recipe so late that I only was able to taste a couple so far.

Kombucha: Mango.

Dessert: Maybe banana pudding.

4. I love a sandwich

Pretty easy on nights I don't feel like cooking and a good companion to soup, too.

Enjoy!

2. Shredded dark meat from a rotisserie chicken in coconut milk & chicken stock

Sort of a Thai style soup. Hot decafe tea.

5. so good to see you!

this sounds yummy and fairly easy, too.

Notice how much I'm mentioning "easy"? I'm desperate for easy these days.

6. It is nice to see you too. I have been doing meals from commercial stocks b/c it is easy

I put the rest of the chicken, bones& meat into the crockpot& I'll add a shot glass of ACV to dissolve the bones for a thicker stock for the ice cube tray in the freezer. Always useful to have on hand.

3. sliced turkey breast, cranberry sauce, steamed broccoli, baked sweet potatoes and apples

Ms K found a fresh, never frozen turkey breast after Christmas on sale for $2.69. Not per pound, just $2.69. It's in the oven!

7. leftover Hoppin John ...

... I'll be eating that for the forceable future.

I somehow can only make a vast quantity, despite the fact that there's just the two of us eating it.

8. Sausages and peppers

Spicy sausages (chorizos) and fresh red, green and yellow peppers along with yellow onions fried up. Served with fresh rolls, brown mustard and a tomato and cucumber salad topped with olive oil, Balsamic vinegar and fresh dill.

Feliz ano Nuevo to all from Panama!

10. Soup and Sandwich

We are both still testing positive for Covid ( day 5). We’re feeling somewhat better with our fevers gone but we still have bad head colds. I heated up TJ’s lentil soup with ancient grains and made Tofurky ham sandwiches on whole grain bread with lettuce, tomato, vegan mayo and mustard. Cheers!🥂
