TGIF 2023 July 21 what was on your plate?

I cooked some brown basmati rice. I made a batch of vinaigrette using Portuguese EVOO and Portuguese red wine vinegar. I made a salad of green crisp lettuce, romaine lettuce, carrots, red onion, celery, corn, and peas. I roasted a half a chicken that I bought already marinaded in a piripiri marinade. That was deeeelicious. But, I need to find a Portuguese source for piripiri marinade. It was very good, but not quite the way I remember it from a well loved Portuguese resto. And since i bought this with my produce basket, the website tells me where they sourced the chicken. it's local and tasty and where I get the majority of my chicken.

Sheet pan salmon, jalapeno, fresh garden garlic, sad looking cherry tomatoes, couple of thick slices of l/o potato.

Had made rice but was on phone and forgot all about it til after I finished eating. Obviously I'd had enough! So I spread it out and will have some fried rice coming up soon.

Steamed cauliflower and a couple spoons of stroganoff hamburger helper.

Light Mediterranean-style dinner last night. I made basil pesto and tzatziki with herbs from my garden. DH made bruschetta with the pesto - toasted baguette topped with pesto, chopped tomatoes and more Parmesan cheese and we had pita chips with the tzatziki. There's also a stuffed grape leaf.

We had sauteed squash and onions with sliced kielbasa, sliced tomatoes, cucumber sticks, fresh cherries, and raspberry-filled dark chocolate squares ($ Tree special - had never tried them before).

Since we were experiencing a deluge of biblical proportions yesterday, I decided not to cook outdoors.

I pan fried a burger and made a new recipe for mac salad. The burger was good.

We went out with friends to have steamed crabs with corn on the cob and crab soup!

 

[Aunt Bea]

Oven barbecued chicken and watermelon chunks.

We dragged the bbq out and I made teriyaki chicken skewers. Earlier, I made mac salad (we went to a couple of the "gourmet" shops here at the beach and none had a decent looking selection in the deli)...we also split a baked sweet potato and a chopped green salad. Big dinner as the place we chose for lunch was recently sold and the experience left us sad.

There was a big box of organic baby spinach, about a lb brought home from shopping yesterday.
I filled a 4 cup bowl, then topped it with half of a meal sized salad I'd already made, some caesar dressing I'd made.
Mr bliss had the salad, and chopped baked potatoes and baked beans.
