Jasmine rice, spicy tofu and greens
I ended up making black pepper tofu which is reliably delicious. I don't know why I always think it's going to be so much more bother than it is. I'm always surprised at how easy it is.

DS picked grilled cheese for dinner.  But I decided on a whim to amp them up into ABC's:  apple, bacon, cheddar.  With granny smith apple slices.  I first had them on a trip to Alaska.

I don't understand why grilled cheese places like Tom & Chee don't stock granny smith's.  I have thought about bringing my own, at times.

Apple and cheese is one of the greatest flavour pairings in existence.

Burrito bowl southwest salads. So good, and so easy.

Wednesday is pasta-night here...... teens all going to sports around dinnertime, so I just make a big batch of pasta bolognese and everyone will serve themselves when they come into the house (and I will enjoy it with a glass of leftover red wine...... somebody has to do the job here.....).
Leftovers of the big batch will be taken care of by DS during the rest of the week.

Ofpym made a savoury Dutch baby which we had with some of the last tomatoes from the garden. It was super delicious

Spaghetti All'assissina, such simple ingredients but so tasty. You gotta try it if you like chewy noodles and spicy things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRteIZM05Sg

Kettle chips and onion dip. It was a tough day.

Thank you for this. I've never heard of it before, and we'll be eating it next week, or as soon as I can plausibly put it on the menu without something else spoiling.

Tonight, I continue on my effort to use up the masa flour by making pupusas. Or, I put the now-aging masa flour on the compost pile and make Spaghetti All'assissina, we'll see which happens!

I must remember this for next apple season, which starts in roughly September. I've made quesadillas before with apples, cheese, and sauteed mushrooms.

Bell peppers are not in season here, but the store has them, and we haven't used last week's, so we may do stuffed peppers for lunch or dinner.

DS has finals (and final projects due) last week and this week, so for his birthday I offered to make him two weeks of dinners. He swung by today, and went home with:
-leftovers of the lentil, sausage, and vegetable soup we had last night
-Tabbouli and some pork loin (that had been cooked and frozen)
-quinoa salad, containing (among other things) cherry tomatoes and dried apricots, with some washed spinach to add in
- a jar of frozen caldo tlalpeņo that I'd made on Friday.

That should get him through the week, and we still have several servings of the quinoa salad and a bit of the lentil thing.

@jeninco - that is an awesome gift! Well done.

We're having tacos tonight, using ground beef I prepped & froze.
