Burnt,

Hmmmm, now that is a great idea! I may do that too 😊. Otherwise I will be staring in my fridge for 15 minutes and most likely will be out of certain ingredients that I need to cook.

Thanks for putting the bug in my ear about getting takeout!

So, I am going to open the refrigerator door and stare. I have absolutely no idea of what I want to make for dinner!

Ever have those days when you don’t know what you feel like eating or cooking?

Golden and Glad,

Sounds delicious!

Guess! Puff pastry with boursin, asparagus, ham and an overeasy egg! It is quite yummy!

NHWM, I like charred/seared meat too. Crispy on the outside still moist on the inside.

Not dinner but had lunch with my dd at a local fish restaurant. We enjoyed our fish (grilled not battered), chips and cole slaw and sat and chatted for a couple of hours. We packed up some of it for supper. Then she drove me to p/u some meds and they tried to charge me $25+. I have never paid for these meds in years. Got it sorted and need to p/u one rx tomorrow.

The sidewalks are clear of snow now. It feels like I have been let out of prison!!!!

need - if you must eat charred meat eat lots of veggies with it. It's healthier.

Glad,

Just looked up best temperature to roast a chicken. The answer from a cooking school was anywhere from 325 to 450.

Recipes will say to roast at high temperatures but doctors say that it isn’t healthy. It drives me crazy, because I love the charred flavors.

Glad,

Look at the article on zdnet.com

Air frying vs oven baking: what’s the best way to cook?

I just read it. Interesting, it convinces me that I don’t necessarily need an air fryer. My daughter keeps telling me to get one. She has told me that I can try hers to see if I like it. I may do that.

I get confused about what is the most healthy. I love roasted veggies cooked with high heat. Some articles state cooking at a high temp isn’t good. Especially with meat. I like the charred flavor.

I use olive oil, not vegetable oil. Olive oil is suppose to be healthy. It’s the temperature that matters.

Sometimes I will roast a chicken on a high temperature because it is delicious.

No clue the difference. My son did chicken wings in his once. I did not think it was very good.

I love Trader Joe’s but I haven’t tried that, Glad.

We have great local seafood so I go to a seafood market to buy fresh fish.

I don’t have an air fryer either. My daughter loves hers! She cooks lots of different things in it. I’m not even sure how those work. How are they different from a regular oven?

Frozen tilapia.

Ham sandwiches on sourdough bread with Dijon mustard. Leftovers from yesterday’s ham dinner.

I always enjoy a sandwich the next day, whether I make ham, turkey or roast beef.

Hurray for leftovers! Except I have to mash more potatoes. My youngest finished them for breakfast.

Chili in the instant pot with tons of extra beans and veggies. I'm getting better at adapting my recipes, this time it's pretty good.

You do need to pay attention to how long the asparagus is so it will fit within the area that will form the edge of the dish. I must say, it worked perfectly.

What can I say? It was absolutely wonderful! No problem with cooking time and asparagus and puff pastry smeared with cheese. I added a bit of cubed ham, after all on Easter I can't have asparagus without ham! I have three pieces left for supper the next few days. And had an over easy egg with it.

Golden, I bought frozen Pepperidge Farm puff pastry.

And guess what asparagus means? New rubber bands!

techie -sounds very good!

glad - It looks lovely and not, actually, that difficult as long as you are not making the puff pastry. 😉

I am roasting turkey thighs for dinner, with cranberry sauce and maybe roasted eggplant as a veggie.

That looks really good Glad, the only problem I can see would be having both the asparagus and puff pastry cooked perfectly. I like roasting asparagus in my little counter top oven, drizzled with garlic butter - it's so much easier than trying to steam it without overcooking the tips, looks nicer too.

I am going to make an asparagus puff pastry with cheese. I have never worked with puff pastry before. It will be interesting. Looks yummy!

Today we are having turkey casserole. I roasted the turkey yesterday and the casserole (usually made with chicken but adapted to turkey this time) is just placing the meat on the bottom of a baking dish then covering with cornbread dressing and topped with gravy made from roasting drippings. You can use a can of condensed cream of chicken but the dripping gravy has far less sodium and tastes better to us. A few veggies and rolls on the side with some blueberry cobbler and we have our Easter Sunday dinner.

Techie,

I don’t eat a lot of sodium either. I find that too much sodium will definitely cause a spike in my blood pressure too.

I happen to like tortillas so I would eat it. I love scrambled eggs served in a tortilla.

NHWM, it's not as good as a real grilled cheese but it's faster to make and the "littles" love making them themselves so they're going to be part of my life at least through the summer. I've found a thin tortilla that only has 30mg of sodium, so for me there'll a reduced sodium option, even over my local "lite" bread which is a slightly smaller and thinner slice. My blood pressure is much better when I watch the salt; I have even been able to lose some of the meds! The tortilla can be grilled in the skillet too and is then as good as a grilled cheese, but I'm not ready to show the littles that yet...
