What's for Dinner, Sat., March 16, 2024

Cheese-prosciutto tortellini. So far, I'm just thinking grated parmesan, olive oil, and freshly ground pepper for a topping.

Baby arugula salad, fresh picked from the garden. This arugula is beautiful! Sundried tomatoes, black olives, and toasted pignolis. Olive oil/lemon vinaigrette.

Did anyone see my roasted peppers that I did last night? Posted the pic this morning on the breakfast thread. I should put a few in the tortellini dish. I had read how to get crisp veggies on a vegetable roast at an Eating Well Magazine article. The trick is to use a large pan so the vegetables each have space around them. Pre-heat the oven, too, to 450. I used my convection oven option. Here's the pic:


Lotsa' garlic.

Dessert: blueberries and Greek vanilla yogurt with ginger tea. Crystallized ginger and toasted slivered almonds over the top. Decaf coffee.

Your roasted peppers look so delicious.The first time I roasted peppers I remember being quite surprised at how much the roasting process changed the pepper’s flavor. I recently had a roasted pepper soup.

Enjoy your dinner, NJC.

It's actually left over from last night, and a dish I made in order to use up leftovers.

It's good, anyway.

boiled potatoes with garlic butter, and stir-fried bok choy.

The good sockeye salmon was kinda pricey, so I thought a spicy sauce would be good for the less-expensive fish.

cooked outside on the first sunny warm day this year. Will probably do a stir-fry with snow peas found lurking in the fridge, onions of course, and some sort of hot sauce. With rice. I'm toying with doing grilled oranges and ice cream for dessert
