What's for Dinner, Mon., June 17, 2024

I made up my own salad recipe. I'll call it Shrimp or Chicken Salad with Mangos & Tangerine over Tossed Greens.

I marinated a few servings each of chicken and shrimp in orange sauce so there is a choice.

The mango-tangerine mixture also has cucumber and shallot. A little cayenne.

The greens are oakleaf lettuce and ruffly mustard greens, which are so delicious with citrus. I added a plentiful number of peppermint leaves. Toasted almonds over the top.

I made a citrus dressing with pineapple juice, olive oil, and lemon juice.

Cherry kombucha to drink.

1. Watermelon

I cut up an entire melon into cubes and put it in the refrigerator, in preparation for this weather.

It's too freaking hot to even think of actually making something. I might have to go out and buy another watermelon, just to get through the week.

5. Air fryer Cod

Made breading out of instant mashed potato flakes, seasoned up with lemon pepper, salt, garlic power, and a touch of cayenne. Threw a shake of Italian seasoning in there, too.
Jasmine rice and garlicky broccoli as the sides.

Not bad! Overcooked the cod, though. Left it sitting in the off air fryer for a few minutes while making the broccoli, think that’s what did it. Will try this again and experiment with spices.

Dessert/Midnight snack: Blueberry banana smoothie.

(Obviously mango has to be good and ripe.)

Had Salad from Chipotle for Br/Dunch,) greens, pinto beans, chix, corn, mixed vegs, guac, salsa, chips.

Iced coffee and iced cream later.

I had doctored up frozen pizza.

I worked in the basement today, going to create a quiet area. Lots of work to be done. Finally in the mood to do it.

I used some of it to make a steak sandwich with provolone cheese on thick sliced homemade bread. Just now we picked more blueberries, so probably a blueberry sundae here shortly.

Good Evening

Had a lunch shift and ordered a sammie after and ate a 1/3 of it with some pablano soup. The potato salad and the rest of the sandwich are in the fridge waiting for the afternoon snack to wear off. 😉
