What's for Dinner, Sat., May 10, 2025

Cold shrimp and salmon bites for an appetizer.

Mediterranean Chickpea Salad. There are a skazillion recipes for this on Pinterest, but the one I chose has cucumbers, red bell pepper, red onion, feta cheese, and kalamatas. I cooked the chickpeas in the slow cooker yesterday. Oh, and pear tomatoes, of course. I'll get to use fresh parsley from the garden!

I might have this on a bed of spinach.

Cherry kombucha.

Dessert: strawberries and vanilla ice cream, soft serve. Earl Grey decaf.

Frying chicken thighs and legs, green beans with a smoked ham hock, and creamed potatoes. Halved peaches with a dollop of cottage cheese for dessert. San Pelligrino Limonata (my sub for traditional lemonade) over ice and ice water.

Bon Appétit, everyone!

Cheddar cheese, adding a little sauteed onion. Egg noodles. If I decide to bake it, I'll sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs, but I may just leave it saucy.

https://iowagirleats.com/one-pot-chicken-and-rice/ The guys both had a second helping. It was good, but I got full quicker.

I bought some spinach and some turnips at the farmers market today. I sauteed the spinach and the turnip greens and seasoned with garlic and tamari.
