For Dinner Tonight?

Burger in a bowl along with zucchini pudding and tomatoes.

How do you make zucchini pudding you ask? Peel, cook, puree, and use it to replace about half the milk needed for instant pudding mix. You'll never know the zucchini is in there by the taste but it's healthier for you! My mom even likes it.

Believe it or not, there's recipes online for zucchini ice cream...

That sounds great. I love pudding.

Tonight was shrimp with summer squash and rice. Nice crisp white for a gorgeous day.

Tortilla soup made with one of the butternut squash I got off my volunteer plant. I used it instead of chicken. Turned out great. I bet you could do it with zucchini too, Fiff.

I'll have to try that, my zucchini plants are having what looks like a second act. The big leaves were dying off and I thought they were done for the season but now I'm getting new leaves from the roots and 3 new flowers already on them. I didn't know zucchini can do that....those plants looked nearly dead before the new growth showed up.

If I'm lucky and keep them tented against frost I may get a second crop from them in late October.

Tonight is Bij's favorite: salmon.

We went out for Mexican food tonight. It's been ages since we ate out. I've been eating veggie during the weeks, and feel so much better for it. I had a spinach enchilada tonight, and it was really good. Not overloaded with cheese. I used some of the salsa for the chips on it, and that was a great addition.

Simple beans and rice. It's one of my favorite cheap eats.

Leftover quiche from Friday.

Celebrating the end of summer with my version of ratatouille.

Sounds good.

My friend treated me to a very nice Italian dinner. I had lasagna with a nice red on the side. I need a nap now.

Scrambled eggs and toast. I tried cooking the eggs on low heat, and they turned out so creamy. Delish!

Grilled shrimp and veggies with a nice, crisp white to go with. Fabulous way to end a hot day.

Scallops with egg noodles and squash on the side.

Considering how my stomach has been the past few days.....this sounds really good!

Hamburgers on the grill with amazing onion rolls from The Fresh Market. Last of the season tomatoes on top. Good way to kiss summer goodbye.

I met a friend for happy hour. We shared an excellent flatbread that had feta, roasted red peppers, and arugula on it. Paired very well with Pinot Noir.

Pork chops on the grill and mashers on the side. Nice light salad to balance that out. Whew! I'm full.

A very nice vegetable and rice soup. I put sweet potatoes in it, which was a nice change from the usual stuff.

Sounds yummy!

Leftovers, not sure which though. I have pork roast, beef roast, and chicken in the fridge. All cooked and needing to be used up. Ideas?

I had my b-day dinner at Merroir in little Topping, VA. Angels on horseback (grilled oysters with country ham), seared scallops with mushrooms, and a nice pound cake with strawberries for desert. It was delicious!

That really sounds good!

Taco salad so when I'm sitting at the Medicaid office for hours they'll regret asking for so much paperwork about my inheritance and income....and wasting so much of my time putting it all together and then sitting on those rock hard chairs, killing my back, waiting to talk to someone before they cut me off.

Haahaa! I've been craving taco salad. Maybe tonight if I get to the store. I have more rotten food in my fridge than edible stuff.

Bij's favorite: fish. And he's invited for dinner too.

My friend's sister threw her a 60th birthday party at a lovely Italian restaurant in Richmond. I can't believe I didn't eat pasta, but salmon and broccolini, which was fantastic. We had red wine with everything and chocolate cake. It was a lovely party with great company.
