Thank you for the reminder! Used to bake Parmesan rounds but DGD and her no cheese eating self got me out of the habit.
What cheeses do you use?

Usually I take the easy route, and will microwave deluxe American. It gets puffy, crispy, and has a more neutral flavor. I've made larger ones to float, and have even melted cheese on top of them.

If I've got more time, or want something different, I've used Swiss, cheddar, parmesan, pepper jack...

Cheesesteaks and some side IDK yet.

We are having some beautiful weather. It was in the 70s today. Grilling ribeye for DH, chicken for me with roasted potatoes and butternut squash (from the garden) and green beans.

I won an Italian basket at a raffle today! So we had spaghetti with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese (plus salads).

All the stocks are made now and right on time! Some still cooling in the fridge others ziplock bagged and in the freezer. Wish I could’ve used the food saver or cans for the stocks but each requires either a learning curve or additional equipment. I’ll read more on it another time (I’m leaning towards canning) but at least I’m finished for the minute.

Decided to use up some of the roasted spaghetti squash tonight. Dressed it with sauce Bolognese and into the toaster oven to reheat. Made a cup of beef consommé with scallions to go with it.

Chicken teriyaki tacos tonight. Quick and easy after watching the Eagles.

Chicken parm with pasta and a green salad. My parents took a ride to Southwick MA today to go to the potato farm. They also stopped at Mrs Murphy’s donuts. So I’m having one for dessert. These are the donuts of my childhood I’m so excited to have one.

Chicken Fajitas.....and I have an apple pear crisp ready for the oven

Enchiladas and Tortilla chips and queso/salsa

Wandered over to Manhattan’s newest park, Little Island, yesterday. It was formerly a pier on the Hudson and what fun did we have. Great music and views.
Next stop was Zabar’s on the Upper West Side, my old stomping grounds. Stocked up on some truly needed pantry goods like…Turkish pistachios, lol. Never know when you’ll run out of them.
Been craving a decent piece of non farmed salmon and was in the right place. Bought two center cut poached salmon filets with watercress sauce making me a happy lil piggy two days running. Last night had it with a green salad and tonight with sliced cukes.

I’m so jealous you have all of the delights of NYC at your fingertips! So much amazing food in that city!

Tonight we had soft tacos. Ground beef for DH and black beans for me with rice. I like tacos way more than I should

 

[Meriweather]

Sheet pan sausages with caramelized shallots and apples. Using Italian sausages.....we'll see.

Same! I love making soft tacos. So easy and after dinner I mix up all the leftovers and make burritos for the freezer.

When the kids were little I always joked that it was the only meal I made where no one cried or pouted.

 

[Meriweather]

Swiss steak, mashed potatoes, green beans and green salad

 

[Giraffe_Zen]

Chicken Breast and Mashed Potatoes.

 

[LoveDaisy]

Chicken pot pie with rice. I premade it so I just had to bake it when I got home from work.

Farmers’ market Tuesday!
I’m limited to immediate use purchases since the freezer’s cup runneth over so I went looking for parsnips and wound up with Hakurei turnips aka Japanese turnips which I’ve never cooked before. They looked so pretty just couldn’t resist and again no parsnips. May have to visit Manhattan for them.

So I sautéed the chopped green tops and roots in butter with a little garlic, salt and pepper. Served with a nice piece of maple glazed pork tenderloin. Had a cup of veggie soup as starter.
