What's for Dinner, Wed., July 17, 2024

I made a turkey meatloaf last night in the slow cooker, after the heat subsided a bit. I put in grated carrot and yellow crookneck squash, sliced shallots and garlic from the garden, and egg, and chopped spinach. Fresh thyme over the top. Also tamari, S & P.

Wow, did it ever come out great, and was so easy to clean up. I did everything, including cleanup, in 45".

Consequently, tonight: turkey meatloaf sandwiches! Using artisan bread, which will be toasted with a little butter spread.

Spinach salad with cucumbers, tangerine, and red onion. Homemade balsamic vinaigrette.

Dessert: Cold decaf and tea biscuits with a new cream cheese flavor from Aldi called a "cinnamon bun." Of course I had to test it to see if it was worthy of dessert. It is!

Made a little veggie pizza for lunch but didn’t eat much because it’s so hot out. Ugh. Will finish the leftovers for dinner.

Dessert is kinda scaring me. Got a box of pudding from the discount bin for $1.12: York Peppermint Patty Pudding. It’s either going to be sublime or super gross. It’s been chilling all day so we shall find out!
