What's for Dinner, Mon., Aug. 17, 2020

Tilefish, baked with vegetables, and served with caramelized onion. Tilefish, aka durango (not sure I spelled that right) is a very mild-tasting fish.

Bruschetta, made with cherry tomatoes from the garden. The bread was a fresh loaf of artisan bread from the Portuguese market, which was brushed with olive oil and then toasted in a slow oven at 285 for about a half hour. The RG mixed the tomatoes with herbs and garlic for the bruschetta and then put it on the golden-colored bread.

Cucumber salad with red onion and chopped mint. For a dressing, I mixed creme fraiche, mayonnaise, and sour cream.

Canary melon with cherries, blueberries, grapes, mint. Iced tea and tea biscuits.

black beans and rice (this is loaded w/ veg: onions, green pepper, garlic, corn, tomato and black beans--not to mention cumin, a touch of cayenne and cilantro)


sliced cucumber and tomato


chocolate zucchini cake for dessert

Homemade quiche with asparagus, tomatoes, red pepper, onion, garlic. Lemon water to drink. A salad would be nice, but I’ve run out of energy.

I made Tuscan Chicken sausage cooked with peppers, onions...and I served it with marinara and gluten free flat bread and home grown yellow squash (yes we finally have squash). My sis told me to shake the the squash plants and it seems to have worked. For dessert a mug cake with strawberries and almond milk whipped topping.

served on a bed of lettuce with black beans, tomatoes, avocados and grilled corn...Baja Catalina dressing. Headed down to the Kakigori shave ice truck for a mango orange shave ice later. It’s 98 degrees here in western Montana...I’m not heating up my oven for anything. 🥵

I'm solo in the Catskills for about a week so I get to pick all my favorites!

NY strip steak on the grill.

Mashed potatoes with garlic and butter.

Fresh green beans from the garden, steamed, of course.

Red wine and dark chocolate for dessert.

I'm gonna have some food fun this week!
