On edit: some changes due to brainstorming the menu while we went to the bank.

Lamb, cooked in the slow cooker with plenty of vegetables. I'm not sure what we're going to do with it, however--serve it with the vegetables or make it into some other dish. Revised: turning into a Thai dish with the rice, adding basil, cilantro, and mango.

Baby eggplants, roasted with onions. Revised: will be turned into mellanzanna funghetta. Basically eggplant and tomato.

Salad made with ruffly lettuce from the garden. Revised: adding Gala apples, orange-marinated raisins, garden celery, and toasted walnuts.

Dessert: Santa Claus melon, green grapes.

1. Turkey breast

Slices (Aldi pre-roasted!), candied yams, peas. 😊👍

2. Chuck roast in the crockpot

carrots, egg noodles, gravy. I’m making mashed potatoes for the leftovers, but it’s a little hot for them this evening. Sounds too heavy.

More cookies for dessert!

3. Roasted tomato soup with poblanos and fresh cheese

Some shrimps on the side.

Salmon, peas, a little garlic, roasted red pepper and seasoned with a good amount of dill

coated in parmesan bread crumbs and baked in my countertop oven. Green beans and fresh corn. Fruit smoothie.

6. Too hot to cook, so...

I also have a hunk of dark chocolate I will eventually address.

7. Chicken with homemade egg noodles

Salad and contemplating cornbread, but I really don’t want to turn the oven on.

This went over pretty well. Also had corn on the cob.

10. Your meals sound so good! I made an old fashioned Chicken Divan... I make my

own cream of chicken sauce (gluten free) I layer the sauce, Broccoli, chicken and more sauce on top...tiny amount of cheese on top. I have to watch dairy. I buy the Cabot Cheddar which is labeled lactose free...never had an issue with it. I made jasmine rice in the instapot and added a salad with everything but the kitchen sink and homemade Ranch dressing...very satisfying! Dessert will be a bar of some sort and a latte.
