What's for Dinner, Sat., March 9, 2024

There's a recipe in the Washington Post newsletter that struck me: Sheet pan Quesadilla. It calls for black beans but I'll use the pintos I cooked up yesterday.

Looks really easy: all you do is cover the hot sheet pan with the tortillas and scatter the beans over the flour tortillas. Fold up the edges like one big galette. Top with queso and avocado, crema, chipotles in adobo, and then hot sauce. Lime wedges to squeeze on top. Cut into squares.

No sugar Pepsi.

I gave up sodas last year. So unsweet ice tea. As the saying goes, here in the south we drink ice tea in aa snow storm.

a sauce of tomatoes, zucchini, cannelini beans and black olives. Maybe sounds weird but we like it. Garlic bread, and lightly sugared grapefruit as an appetizer. Going back and forth between cooking and watching the Iowa Hawkeyes (and Caitlin Clark of course!) playing in the Big 10 Women's Basketball tournament. Go Hawks!

The salmon I seasoned with salt pepper garlic powder and put in the air frier. After flipping drizzled a little of the ginger sauce from the kit on it.

The bagged stirfry was great! It had chopped kale, brussels spouts, bok choy, carrots, snow peas, and a bag of sauce. It said Ginger-Garlic but I tasted 5 Spice and maybe some Hoisin sauce in there. Very tasty! As instructed by the bag: sautéed the veg in a little oil then added sauce and covered on low till done. Served over Jasmine rice.

Sweet tea

For dessert: The last of the nectarine-berry crisp. Half the pan is tucked away in the freezer for later in the month.

I'll make a butter, white wine, garlic, capers, and artichoke sauce for the sea bugs and spaghetti.
