What's for Dinner, Mon., Labor Day, 9/5/16

[NJCher]

Cold plate of roast beef that was cooked in the slow cooker. I have various sauces to serve with it, such as smoky black pepper A1, chili garlic, Dijon mustard, and wasabi-mayo.

Leftover grilled zucchini, topped with tarragon egg salad.

Broccoli salad, which I made before, but liked the recipe so much I made more. It has cranberries, raisins, toasted walnuts, and chopped red onion in it. Mayo-based salad dressing.

Dessert: cream puffs and cold basil tea.

(I added a lot more spices, bell pepper and a little chicken broth. When it's done, I'll reduce the liquid for the sauce)

Making Protein Plus pasta for my husband, and zuke for me.

4. Went to a cookout

Chicken kabobs with cherry tomatoes and onions, ribeye steaks, roasted tri-color bells, roasted corn/cob, roasted broccoli (a new one for me).

It was more a 10th B-day party for my friend's son, but was a great excuse for us adults to have a cookout for us. Much hors d'oeuvres too. We eat like kings, but the kids just wanted takeout pizza. We obliged, all were happy.
