Well, it's not the weekend, and I didn't cook anything, but I'm not going to start a thread on "Big Salads", so I'm dropping this here 🤷‍♂️
Salad for lunch allows for an extra beer after dinner! :rock:

Cheers!
 
I didn't get a pic (I will moving forward) but I marinated some chicken breast in Italian dressing, then did a pecan coating. Paired that with roasted sweet potatoes with a ton of stuff on them that basically makes them a dessert (brown sugar, marshmallows...and butterscotch chips).

It was excellent. Used the chicken on some lavash with prosciutto and Japanese mayo and dill Havarti the next day for lunch. Also excellent.
 
My entry for the Chopped Salad Olympics: iceberg lettuce, green and red onion, celery, carrots, baby portabellas, tuna, hard boiled egg, sharp cheddar, bacon, pecans, pickled jalapenos, homemade Italian dressing, and grated parmesan...

Looks like you spilled a lot of it on your counter. 😂

Brew on :mug:
 
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. 😉

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!
I'd love to share but everything will be estimated because I don't use recipes, I use what I have on hand.

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.
 
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.
