What's for Dinner, Mon., May 25, Memorial Day

[NJCher]

Grilled chicken with different types of sauces.

Tomato salad with mozzarella and basil.

Might try to figure a way to do grilled sweet potatoes as a side.

For dessert, both watermelon and then later, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. I might sprinkle some mint over the top with a tiny bit of ice cream or vanilla yogurt.

I am gardening all day long. Big job, getting this garden in.

1. we're going to a cookout

no idea what is on the menu, but i just made a batch of my broccoli slaw to take with us. however, it turns out the host doesn't like sour cream and the husband didn't mention this until he saw me putting it in the dressing

2. Black bean and salsa soup....

with a couple of ounces of chips and a toss salad with balsamic dressing.



And maybe a lemonade if I'm not too lazy.

3. I'm making an Italian meal for my daughter and son-in-law.

They have been working their buns off over this holiday weekend and deserve a nice treat.

So, it's cacio e pepe to start. This is one of my favorite pasta dishes. It's beauty is in it's simplicity.

Then a simple poached chicken with roasted brussel sprouts and cauliflower.

Desert? Maybe.

Your dinner sounds wonderful. Enjoy!

4. are they, too, working on gardening?

I'm not only taking care of my garden, I'm taking care of my neighbor's, who is in Portugal for a couple weeks vacationing.

The landscape is so beautiful I feel compelled to do a good job watering. Maybe I can post some pics later.

I have to look cacio e pepe up.

It's looking better and better, but it's an amazing amount of work.

Would love to see pictures of your work!

Cacio e pepe - you will love it.

10. Moroccan spiced leg of lamb on the bbq

With grilled veggies on this side. Zucchini, yellow squash, sweet potatoes.

Wife came back from Sprouts with a bunch of stuff, so it's my personal take on Iron Chef
