Need to keep this going for some new ideas.

Broiled salmon with mustard sauce, roasted potatoes, steamed broccoli.

I had chicken leg quarters, pasture raised, that I did in the air fryer.  They were very good.  Dh had leftover German potato salad that I made for him on Saturday.  I had some leftover green beans.  Ds is no longer a fan of much animal protein if whole, vs ground, so chose to make himself frozen Elios pizza.  🤷🏻‍♀️

Last night was pasta salad with leftover grilled chicken breast and fresh mozzarella. Not sure about tonight.

Yep!  So much leaner and flavorful than conventional.  But, not as forgiving of over cooking.  I’m finding I’ve got to watch the pastured meats and poultry for that, because they are not fattened up rapidly like regular factory farmed animals.

Last night - broiled Arctic char, salad, rice.

Tonight- Chicken pieces  (chicken again!), zucchini, maybe noodles?  Don’t want to go to another store, and the one I went to yesterday had crap produce, including sprouted potatoes. I’ll come up with something.

Made this tonight with a whole chicken cut in eighths instead of thighs. Wowza, it was delicious.

Hmm, the flavors sound good, but I don't like thighs and I feel like chicken breasts in the oven always come out rubbery somehow. I'm thinking of how to adapt it to the instant pot or just all on the stovetop. Dd doesn't love olives, but I made something recently with chopped olives on the side and she was adding some. Wish I could remember what it was.

This is a good method for making baked chicken nuggets that are actually crispy. The flavor is bland, so I adapt it. I use butter instead of oil to moisten the breadcrumbs and I add a bunch of parmesan cheese to the breadcrumbs also along with whatever spices I feel like adding. Tonight I also added a little sriracha to the yogurt to give it a little kick. I've tried chicken nuggets different ways and this method really works. Crispy outside and tender inside.

Today was grocery pickup, and I try to do something lazy because it takes forever to put all of the things away.  Should have put a rotisserie chicken on the order, but I didn't...

So, grilled cheese, salt & pepper kettle chips, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and grape tomatoes.
