What's for Dinner, Tues., April 23, 2024

Cheesy baked broccoli fritters. They have grated cheddar cheese, quinoa, scallions, garlic, eggs, panko, Italian seasonings. I got the recipe from Nagi Maehashi, whose cookbook I checked out from the library.

She has an interesting technique with her cookbook where you can scan in a QR code and go to her website for a video. I didn't do that but I might check it out later.

Might have a chicken sausage with it. They are feta cheese-spinach sausages.

There are various sauce ideas she provides with this recipe and I think I'll choose the Instant Spicy Pink Sauce or possibly the tzatziki.

Kombucha is tangerine-pineapple.

46 oz bottle of a V8 type tomato juice, then any veggies you want.
Todays mix is cauliflower, sweet potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, frozen green beans & corn. Simmer till potatoes are soft, then a can of kidney beans, a handful of ditalini pasta. What ever spices you want.

I used my "Mexican spice mix"
This is from https://www.budgetbytes.com/taco-seasoning/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=20483177487&utm_content=671098593265&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwuJ2xBhA3EiwAMVjkVJn7l3dphYRhD7zgIH0MnhyYJalGezTRFTAj5UPQE_lj59wrXwIzLhoCGwQQAvD_BwE

INGREDIENTS -- I doubled this for this much soup
1 Tbsp chili powder ($0.30)
1 tsp smoked paprika ($0.10)
1 tsp cumin ($0.10)
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper ($0.02)
1/2 tsp oregano ($0.05)
1/2 tsp salt ($0.05)
1/2 tsp 15 cranks fresh black pepper ($0.05)

with tzatziki sauce, and sweet-spicy stir fried bok choy. I can't take credit - my son the weeknight chef made it.
