What's for Dinner, Sun., Aug. 14, 2022

Breaded chicken cutlet with tomato sauce and mozzarella/parmesan over it. A little ziti to go with it.

Sliced eggplant, also breaded with parmesan and panko (50/50 mixture). Tomato pesto made with parmesan on top, then cherry tomatoes, mozarella cubes, and chopped basil leaves. Lots of basil. Eggplant made this way is so good: I've made it for several friends in the last week and they raved about it.

Peach smoothie for dessert.

Grilled chicken breast (with a rub), potato packets on the grill and parmesan zucchini and corn for the side.

Here's the recipe if you are interested. https://damndelicious.net/2014/07/12/parmesan-zucchini-corn/

Both probably with garden tomato and dill pickle slices. His with sharp cheddar, mine with a slice of onion. He's having fries and Brussels sprouts, I'll probably have the last ear of fresh sweet corn, steamed and cut from the cob.

The recipe calls for serving guacamole, salsa, refried beans and fajita vegetables over greens, but we had it with rice (leftover basmati for the guys and cauliflower rice for me). It was a very tasty and filling build-your-own supper, relaxing and enjoyable for a Sunday evening.

There were Duchess apples yesterday at the Farmers Market, so dessert tonight is apple crisp.

birthday but why not? So I made Chicken Divan and a big fruit salad. Chicken Divan is made wth homemade cream of chicken soup (gluten-free)then you add some mayonnaise to the soup and some cheddar cheese to taste salt and pepper layer broccoli, chicken, and sauce...grated some cheese on top. Bake a 350 F. And for dessert we have candy.

Even better today!!

For dessert:
Fried Pie from a local Farmer's Market.

Doesn't hold a candle to my Granny's but if I had never had hers, I'd think these were fairly good
