Camouflage. Silly salad, it was trying to hide but the bowl gave it away...
Tonight I'll be cooking curried lamb balls-ground lamb meatballs with various curries, bell peppers, onion/garlic and diced tomatoes for the sauce. I'll cook a small bowl of couscous for my wife, quinoa for myself.
Mmmmmmm curries! I need to learn to make more of them. I make a mean Butter Chicken, pork Vindaloo, and saag paneer, and my favorite is Panang Curry. If you ever feel like sharing the ones you like, Corky, I'd love to copy them off and try them!
Hubby’s veggie and cheese scramble with sausage and HM sourdough.
Nothing too exciting, just simple home cooking. Roasted chicken, mash with gravy and there was also a cabbage/kale side salad.
Merry, tell me what you like for your salad - I bought a mix of kale and cabbage and broccoli slaw, looking for good ideas!
Oh a ginger dressing or balsamic vinaigrette would be my choice on that blend. Actually, I’ve been getting bagged salads from Lidl a lot like Dole and less expensive, and each bag is enough for the both of us to have a full bowl. I used the Asian blend yesterday green and red cabbage, kale carrots and green onions. I frequently top it off with cucumber and tomato. They come with a little bag of dressing and toppings. Asian has Chinese fried noodles and sliced almonds. It’s quick and easy a decent salad for 2 and just $3, a head of cabbage is 1.69 a pound right now. So I can be lazy and save money.

I'd love to share but everything will be estimated because I don't use recipes, I use what I have on hand.
Grilled cheese on banana, cranberry, pecan sourdough and homemade soup.

Leftover soup (our own beans)
That would be just dandy with me, it's the way I cook! Never met a recipe I couldn't tweak and seldom cook one without tweaking one way or another. So, whenever you have the time/inclination fire away! And thank you in advance.
Tossed together a pork, vegetable, stir fry with pineapple over jasmine rice.
I love stir fries 
Cold and damp so we made a cream of potato soup for dinner. My wife also made homemade crescent rolls to go with it. No pics though.
I made a big ol' three pound crusty-baked meatloaf and a pan of tri-colored sprouted quinoa last night. Sorry, no pics, as usual I forgot!
I also got a recipe of mine on YouTube by another content provider, Marcy Inspired. She's very talented with her videography. That was fun!

Homemade sourdough bagel, one egg, one slice of crispy bacon for brunch.
Temps are warming, but, it feels like damp bone chilling weather, so I cooked up some beef stew with another bagel to mop up the gravy.
Belgian waffles with cloudberry jam and cream.

Made a big batch of Golumpki Saturday. Ran out of cabbage leaves and used some of the tougher outside ones. Best batch I’ve made. Super tender!!
Is this a graniteware roaster? They look great!

Yes that is a graniteware roaster. It lives in my oven. Ha Ha! I have to take it out eveytime I want to bake/broil. Doesn't get used to often. Just the occaisional spiral ham or large batch of Golumpki.
From Sunday. Fish Piccata with roasted purple cauliflower and a Caesar salad.
I would eat up that whole plate and ask for more! Nice!
At 12 o’clock haricot vert, 3 is pan cooked chicken breast and, lastly pierogi with caramelized onions.
Hubby’s portion of roasted duck, green beans, mash with duck gravy. Tender meat with crispy skin.
One of my DILs made us a fabulous dinner featuring a roasted beef tenderloin in a red wine reduction (whole bottle simmered down to about a cup) and some rosemary sprinkles with this cheese/potato disk concoction that was crazy good and some equally tasty green beans in a seasoned vinegar and shallot dressing. Had to have seconds! 
Cheers!

A sensible salad with shrimp.
Jus vac sealed 3lbs of Tillamook pepper jack and cheddar. It’s my first time smoking cheese. According to what I’ve read, when it’s first smoked it smells like an ashtray- yup. It’s supposed to mellow for about a month before it can be eaten.
So now I wait…

Hubby’s family calls it hot dish.
Chuckwagon Mac? 
My mom called it American chop suey and didn’t ever add corn to it. Chuckwagon Mac is as good a name as any. I’d change the cheese from Parmesan to cheddar and leave out the oregano though.

Almost looks like goulash. Just has corn instead of tomato.
"A highly seasoned Hungarian soup or stew of meat and vegetables, flavored with paprika"?
Must be a different style of goulash...
Cheers!
