What's for Dinner ~ Monday June 3rd

[Lucinda]

We are working on leftovers - from a family wedding - & my big batch of rice and beans

Sooo...BBQ for Bill - with the best sauce i've ever tasted. Sweet heat. Incredible flavor. The guy made his own smoker and developed a fantastic sauce, but he's not telling what's in it... though it maybe contain crack, because it's hard to stop eating it!

And I'll be finishing off my rice and beans. It was an awesome batch (or maybe i'm just hungry after mashing and eatiing boring soft foods to baby my bad tooth for the last week)

You?

1. Some kind of pasta dish with the leftover tuna

Probably a tomato saucey kind of thing.

[Lucinda]

8. I don't cook with tuna much. I really should.

It's very versatile!

[bif]

10. Both tuna and salmon are!

Unfortunately, I overcooked the tuna. It turned out pretty tough. Pasta sauce will hopefully soften it.

[Lucinda]

14. Aw...I hate it when that happens!

Hope your salvage plan worked well!

[AuroraB]

2. Monday..salad.

[Lucinda]

7. Always a good option!

[bitchkitty]

3. Probably mixed greens

with lemon juice (or lime, I think I have one left) and olive oil, grape tomatoes. Flatbread or maybe I'll pick up a baguette. Maybe oranges. Or a mango! I have a really ripe one.

If I have time I might make some rice. Love sticky rice! But I am not in my own kitchen so I'm a bit limited. Good thing I love salad!

[Lucinda]

6. I have some kale that I need to use

It would be great with your dressing and flatbread!

[bitchkitty]

9. Have you done a massaged kale salad yet?

I've seen some recipes and videos, but haven't tried it yet.

[Lucinda]

15. Nooo. Never heard of it. Will have to try and find a video

I am always looking for more ways to use kale, fortunately, I even like it raw!

[bitchkitty]

22. Kale chips are tasty too! n/t

[Lucinda]

24. LOL I just realized Hilah has one.

Didn't see it when I was getting the link for my MC Griddles OP!

[Callalily]

4. Well. . . nothing.

I've started my vacation today and will be traveling to my destination, so eats will be power bars and trail mix! YUM!

[Lucinda]

5. Safe travels!

Hope you have a great vacation!

11. The rest of my chicken sausage concoction that I ate the last two nights.

Tonight's vegetable is broccoli in a Swiss cheese sauce.

[Lucinda]

16. I loooove broccoli! Bill isn't a fan - he's got that weird gene where

some veggies just taste bitter and dirty to him. More for me though! I can't remember the last time I had broccoli with a cheese sauce...that might work for Bill!

[pinto]

12. Slivered bbq beef steak and gravy over toast, potato salad, watermelon.

i.e. Leftovers.

[Lucinda]

17. I am drooling... and jealous! I've been craving

watermelon for about a month now.

[pinto]

20. I usually slice and dust with mint.

[livetohike]

13. We had baked tofu, baked sweet potatoes and sauteed zucchini

[Lucinda]

18. How do you prep your tofu when you bake it?

Do you use a marinade?

[livetohike]

19. First I press it between two plates with one weighted down with a heavy can

for about 20 minutes and drain the water. Then I cut it into 1/2" slices and lay them in the bottom of a baking dish.. I mix a marinade with soy sauce, mirin, garlic, ginger and sesame oil and pour it over all the slices and refrigerate for a few hours.

Then bake it at 350 F. for 1/2 hour. That's it. You can mix up any kind of marinade you can think of .

[Lucinda]

25. Thankie!

[Rowdyboy]

21. My beloveds birthday so we had his favorite...burgers and tater tots...

That would NOT be in my top twenty!
