What's for Dinner, Wed., May 6, 2020

Mango salad with iceburg for crispness, pea shoots, red onion, and zucchini.

Calzones made with homemade bread dough. Filling has ground beef, but pureed with roasted vegetables.

Soup with lamb, zucchini, and carrots, in very light broth. This and the two items above were made by the RG using his imagination; no recipes.

Defrosted the other half of my carrot cake for dessert and will have with spicy chai. I made the carrot cake using a Mollie Katzen recipe, but next time I will use half the sugar. This is a recipe from one of her earliest cookbooks and she has "changed her ways" to keep up with the times, using less sugar and butter.

Cook's Country simple recipe, baked in a cast iron skillet. I'm also making some fried mac & cheese bites dusted with bacon flavor salt.

Over easy eggs, bacon, toast, and grape tomato/lettuce salad with a drizzle of store bought ranch.

Perhaps some fruit after.

FLFC has had dog food and some ground beef. He is passed out on a pillow in the living room. We will see if the smell of bacon cooking awakes him later.
