I almost always eat a big salad with a hardboiled egg and cheese tossed in.<br /><br />Our weekly menu could include salmon or halibut or scallops, grilled cheese, salad with grilled chicken or shrimp thrown in, sushi, Chinese food of some sort, breaded chicken strips, grilled steak or chicken or salmon, burgers, nachos.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593664.post-21806105463581134142022-04-29T13:45:00.270-07:002022-04-29T13:45:00.270-07:00Our weekly menu is so different!

We have chicken ordinarily once a week--usually grilled chicken breasts, pasta with tomato-turkey sauce usually once a week, fish once a week (if we get to the fish store), eggs, veggie burgers one night, sushi or pizza that we bring in once a week, and we go out the other night. Sometimes we just have salad and tuna fish or bagels and lox. So at most we have meat twice a week and always poultry. I stopped eating all beef, pork, and lamb products so long ago (1971) that I can't even remember what it was like. <br /><br />We have a Ninja Foodi air fryer/grill that we love, but no slow cooker or instapot. I don't think that what we like to eat is stuff that is good to make in those appliances. Mostly I cook on the stove or in the Ninja. When the weather is warm, I grill outside instead of on the Ninja. The only thing I make enough to freeze is the turkey tomato sauce. But I am retired so have more time to shop and cook dinner day by day.<br /><br />And now it's time to go make dinner! Chicken with tomatoes tonight--in the oven. My oven will be so happy that it's getting some use.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.com
