bright, layered dish. Flaky cod is pan-seared and nestled into a sauce of white wine, garlic, lemon, and thyme, studded with briny green olives. It's paired with roasted cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, zucchini, and tender artichoke hearts—then finished with a scatter of creamy feta. (Unfortunately, feta not my favorite except for Greek salad but will have in a few days.)

so have left overs! (HOPE the propane lasts!!!)

TOMORROW, Greek Salad with Feta & Fresh Herbs! Crispy, zesty, tangy greek salad with loads of texture from the fresh vegetables, sweet and pungent flavors from the green olives, and a zippy olive oil dressing. Topped off with crumbled feta and fresh dill and parsley, this is the perfect light and tangy!!!

Smallest breast roast shopper could find was 6 lbs. It's just me & my adult grandson here, so that was a lot...

But we rose to the occasion & put it away in 4 days with all the sides.

Chili was my other choice for today.

That will likely be next up when I cook again in a day or 2.

Enjoy!

hubby just got home from the hospital this afternoon, so I'm making a big pot of my Italian Hamburger soup, along with some fresh baked bread. Chocolate pie for dessert... for him, at least. It's a little too rich for me, unfortunately.
