What's for Dinner, Wed., Aug. 7, 2019

[NJCher]

Pasta fagioli with grated pecorino romano over it. A little touch of sour cream and avocado mayo in the center.

Plain salad with no dressing; just spring greens.

We are getting thunderstorms and massive amounts of rainfall, so this sounds good to me.

For dessert, I have cut up strawberries and blueberries which I will serve with tea biscuits. I might put a little whipped cream on the berries since the tea biscuits are not sweet and I need something to counter the tartness.

1. Thunderstorms in NYC, too

I got home in between the downpours.

Breaded and baked chicken cutlets with my own special gravy along with mashed potatoes and a green salad.

There was a little birthday party at the office so I brought home a couple of cup cakes for dessert.

3. Teriyaki Tofu on the grill

1 pkg. extra firm tofu, drained and cut into chunks
1 (20 oz) can pineapple chunks, drain juice into a cup
1 red bell pepper, cut into thick strips
1/2 onion, cut into strips
Non-stick cooking spray
Jasmine rice, about 4 or 5 servings

Marinade:
1/4 cup drained pineapple juice
2 Tbsp Japanese style (toasted) sesame oil
1/2 cup Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet teriyaki sauce
3 Tbsp Kikkoman teriyaki sauce

Drain tofu of all liquid. Cut into chunks. Mix marinade in a large bowl and add tofu, pineapple, pepper and onion. Cover and refrigerate for 2 or 3 hours. Spray Grill Topper Pan with non-stick cooking spray, place on grill and pre-heat to 350 F. Add tofu/veggies to pan and grill over medium heat until marinade begins to caramelize, stirring occasionally. Serve immediately with jasmine rice. P.S. Any leftover pineapple juice may be incorporated into a nice cocktail for the cook.

husband is making me take it easy. We ordered a pizza and are watching a movie.

9. Good deal...my insurance agent hurt his head and ended up being out for quite a while...he didn't

think it was serious and did not seek medical attention. Feel better.

5. Sauteed chicken breast with mumbo sauce

(sweet and sour) on rice, broccoli with lemon and butter, and sliced tomato and cucumber. My sons did not care for the chicken and sauce, despite it being the older one's idea and creation, but my husband and I liked it Dessert was a shortbread finger for me and raspberry cheesecake gelato for my husband, along with a second glass of wine

I also had a piece of raisin bread with light butter ...canyon bake is the best gluten free bread I have tasted...and for dessert fage yogurt with blueberries sweetened with swerve...lots of water.
