What's for Dinner, Mon., Oct. 9, 2023

This is the quinoa tabouli I made, "dressed up" with various ingredients, in this case tomatoes, black olives, feta cheese, and a little extra mint. Avocado, too. Toasted almonds on top.



That's what I'm having before I leave for work shortly.

With this recipe (Mollie Katzen again), you make up a basic batch of tabouli and then add ingredients you want when serving. It allows for something different each time, which helps solve the same ole'-same ole' "leftover" issue.

The basic recipe has chopped scallion, garlic, green pepper, olive oil, and mint.


When I get home later I'll have some roasted tomato/pepper soup and half a tuna sandwich on a skinny whole wheat slice.

Tart cherry kombucha.

Ice cream sandwich for dessert. Cookies & cream flavor. Dark Pu-erh Chinese tea.

and a toss salad. Wife did make a loaf of homemade bread today, so I will slice me off a piece, butter it up and have that with my meal.

Wow Cher what you are having really looks good!

Homemade broth with a chicken breast poached in it and then cut up. So chicken and noodles in broth, with enough solids to make a hearty meal for 2. I hope. I have some sauteed leftover corn/onion/red bell pepper to throw in for veg.

Anyway, it should be relatively quick to make.

rice and ratatouille.

Cher, you are making me hungry for tabouli. I haven't made that in ages. Will have to see what is still fresh and available at the farmer's market on Saturday!
